  • monetization87 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism for its aggressive ad placement, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of ads, which often disrupt gameplay and require players to restart the game. While some users are willing to pay for an ad-free experience, they find the subscription model expensive and prefer a one-time purchase option. Overall, the consensus is that the heavy reliance on ads detracts from the gaming experience, making it feel more like a cash grab than a balanced game.

    • “But you're in luck, you can buy a pass for no ads for a week, two weeks, or one month.”
    • “A purchase for no ads is very helpful, gives you lots of free stuff, and it's not expensive.”
    • “I just bought the 2-week no ads, and so far I like that.”
    • “You'll spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”
    • “But that fun is limited, as the ads are aggressive, by sometimes locking you into them and you're unable to leave the ad, which means you have to close the game and lose progress.”
    • “Everything you do needs to watch an ad.”
  • graphics48 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their quality, detail, and smooth performance, often described as "amazing" and "stellar." Many players appreciate the visual customization options for characters, pets, and skills, noting that the aesthetics enhance the overall gameplay experience.

    • “Great graphics, a lot of different items which change visually your character, pets and skills.”
    • “The graphics are amazing, the gameplay is great and satisfying.”
    • “One of the best graphics I've ever seen.”
    • “Last update was all about improving graphics that weren't really broken, but the promise of more content hasn't come. People are leaving the game because the devs have nothing fresh to offer, just free stuff that's useless in the Discord groups to hope you hang on to what could and should have been amazing.”
    • “Speaking of sprites, the game tends to stutter - even on the lowest graphic setting - on some older phones.”
    • “Game feels generic and graphics are the only saving grace.”
  • gameplay31 mentions

Overall, while the core mechanics are well-received, there are significant concerns regarding content depth and monetization strategies.

Overall, while the game has potential for a compelling narrative, it suffers from pacing and clarity issues that detract from the experience.

    • “Finally, a story-based shoot-em-up game!”
    • “Story is interactive and fun to play.”
    • “Character leveling is gated behind story progress, which is gated behind a ridiculous grind for even a single piece of gear.”

Many are calling for urgent fixes to these stability issues to enhance playability.

    • “When I complete it, my game freezes on the loading resources screen after showing all the loot I acquired.”
