  • monetization3 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the developers has been criticized for being exploitative and unethical, with accusations of plagiarism and asset flipping. Users report that the games are often low-quality cash grabs, lacking proper credit to original creators, and are supported by fake reviews from linked accounts.

    • “The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”

    • “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”

    The stability of the axe mechanics is well-received, with users appreciating the dual throwing options: a heavy throw that impales and freezes weaker enemies, and a light throw that boomerangs back.
