The game's monetization is heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ads, often appearing after every few battles or even during downtime, leading to a frustrating experience. Forced, unskippable ads disrupt gameplay and cause crashes, with some players feeling the system is greedy and exploitative. Although a few find the ads reasonable, the majority view them as a major detriment, overshadowing an otherwise enjoyable game.
- “Great game, just wish it didn't require internet, but there were no ads.”
- “Perfect time cruncher with minimal to no ads!!!”
- “I'm fine with an ad every now and then but at this point there are more ads than game.”
- “Don't buy the gems. I got some just to speed up crafting and get rid of ads. I got the speed upgrade and it did nothing. It's a scam, plain and simple.”
- “The frustration comes from ad boxes that crash the game while still getting intrusive ads popping up on an invisible timer.”
grinding

Reviews consistently highlight that grinding in the game is extensive and often tedious, especially at higher levels where progression slows significantly and resource management becomes a challenge. While some appreciate the grind as part of the experience and note improvements over the first game, many find the repetitive nature, slow leveling, and costly upgrades detract from overall enjoyment. The crafting system and limited replayability of stages also contribute to the feeling of excessive grind.
- “Game is fun, however, whilst the first one was good in terms of leveling up and getting gold and weapons/items, here you immediately have to buy 1k gems minimum to upgrade your storage and stuff. I'm happy to pay to play, but even after that it's extremely grindy and you can only level up very very slowly. The higher level you are, the more SP you use so somehow it's never enough.”
- “Too much grinding, you can't afford gear and coins come slowly, the leveling up is nerfed to hell compared to the last game, and it's not intuitive at all.”
- “Waste of my time for this game and grinding gold.”

Overall, the gameplay is smooth and engaging, with room for content expansion and better user experience.
- “Otherwise, I enjoy the funny references, jokes, and sword & sandals-esque gameplay.”
- “I expect that it could be a simple plain 8-bit game but it's not, I love the gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is simple but smart and it barely asked for any money.”
- “Gameplay seems very grindy though.”
- “Gameplay is ok but incredibly grindy.”
- “Graphic upgrade, nerfing skills from the previous iteration to prolong gameplay and increase your desire to spend money.”

- “The little references and self-aware humor made the text actually something I'd stick around for rather than tap through like the usual mobile game. I've played the original Gladiator Rising, and I'm happy that so much has gotten improved in this sequel!”
