The game features minimal ads, primarily optional ones for rewards, which do not interrupt gameplay, earning praise from users. However, many players express frustration over the high cost of in-app purchases, feeling that the game leans towards a pay-to-win model, particularly as progress becomes challenging without spending money. Overall, while the lack of invasive ads is a highlight, the expensive microtransactions detract from the experience for some players.
“Amazing game, isn't really pay to win and has no ads that affect gameplay.”
“This game is great, and it has no ads, which I like.”
“No excessive in-app purchases.”
“However, you will hit a point fairly quickly where you are hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned unless you pay for extremely overpriced microtransactions.”
“It became impossible after a few missions; all elite commanders are locked behind a paywall. It is totally a pay-to-win game. If there was an option to get legendary commanders with coins or ads, it may have been possible to play without paying. Deleted.”
“The game play is solid, the strategy is incredible, but a big issue is that I lost all of my in-game purchases when I got a new phone despite having my backup updated through my Google-based gamer tag!”

The game's story is well-received, with players appreciating the historical context and the strategic depth it offers, likening it to a chess-like experience. However, many users express frustration over the difficulty of missions and the paywall for upgrading troops, which can hinder progression. Overall, while the storytelling and mission design are praised, the monetization model has led to mixed feelings about the game's accessibility and enjoyment.
“Loving the gameplay! I highly recommend this game if you love warfare and strategy. It's basically chess, but you have to pay attention and make sure you are reading and comprehending the mission at hand. The historical context is absolutely vital to pay attention to.”
“A really well-made strategy game; the graphics are good, and the storytelling is on point.”
“Good game with interesting stories, cool missions, and events.”
“It became impossible after a few missions; all elite commanders are locked behind a paywall. It is totally a pay-to-win game. If there was an option to get legendary commanders with coins or ads, it may have been possible to play without paying. Deleted.”
“You should not have to make a payment in order to continue the quest line; you already have like 50 microtransactions in the in-game store.”
“You won't pass later missions unless you spend a lot of money on upgrades.”

“Either the levels are too easy or too hard; a lot of pay-to-win mechanics (I don't mind this, however it pops up every time you go to the main menu). Ad rewards aren't worth it, the game takes too much time to complete, and it gets a bit repetitive later on.”
“The gameplay can feel repetitive after a while, and the balance between levels is inconsistent, making it frustrating at times.”
“The game takes too much time to complete and can become tedious, which detracts from the overall experience.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a double-edged sword; while it allows for free-to-play progression without paywalls, it often requires extensive time investment, either through casual play or intense daily sessions. The difficulty in leveling troops and generals, coupled with a limited selection of free-to-play characters, can make the experience tedious, especially since players cannot move multiple units simultaneously. Many reviewers suggest that easing the grinding process for acquiring generals would enhance overall enjoyment.
“The downsides are the difficulty of leveling troops and generals up, requiring either months of casual play or hours of daily grinding per chapter, and the rather small amount of free-to-play generals.”
“Cannot move multiple units at once, so it can grow a bit tedious.”
“Just make grinding for generals a bit easier.”
