The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive reliance on ads and microtransactions, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of ads that disrupt gameplay. Users report that ads often fail to load, making it difficult to earn rewards or progress without watching multiple ads, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as detrimental to the gaming experience, with many players feeling forced to engage with ads to advance.
“The game feels a bit too dependent on microtransactions, especially considering the limited options available for purchase.”
“I often find myself watching ads, but it can be frustrating when no ads are available, leading to interruptions in gameplay.”
“Overall this game is just poorly designed and meant to suck as many ads as they can put on you (even though the ads don't always load).”
“You have to watch a million ads to do anything and if you don't pay you don't get very far.”
“Worst part of this game is its forced ads during gameplay.”

The gameplay is described as simple and fun, though it suffers from issues like freezing and unresponsive controls, leading to frustration for some players. While the game features familiar mechanics and a visually appealing design, many users find the difficulty level too high and the reliance on specific builds limiting. Additionally, intrusive ads detract from the overall experience, despite some players enjoying the updates and new features.
“Gameplay is simple and fun.”
“The update has some interesting features but overall the gameplay is still fun and addicting.”
“I love the way it looks because it looks so realistic and the lighting is amazing, and I love the gameplay and the new update; it's so good and the new armor.”
“I can't get past the first 2 minutes of gameplay because it keeps freezing.”
“Very floaty and unresponsive movement; I always get hit and die very fast even with max damage reduction, and this was only level 2. A lot of upgrades were useless, forcing you to use the same build every time.”
“The worst part of this game is its forced ads during gameplay.”

Players note that grinding is essential to progress beyond chapter 2 due to significantly stronger enemies and inadequate equipment. However, many appreciate that grinding offers meaningful rewards and allows for a free-to-play experience without the need for monetary investment.
“You can't go beyond chapter 2 without grinding forever because the enemies are far stronger and the equipment that can be found is often insufficient.”
“The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making progress frustrating rather than enjoyable.”
“The game forces you to grind excessively to keep up with the difficulty curve, which can be a major turn-off.”
