- “Music is the same bit over and over; it needs to be turned down or muted in the Windows volume control since there is none in-game.”

The monetization strategy of the game is criticized as being exploitative, with users labeling it an "asset flip" and suggesting that it is part of a trend of cash grab titles from the same developer.

- “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, with constant prompts to spend money on in-game purchases that disrupt the gameplay experience.”
- “It's frustrating to see that progress in the game is heavily gated behind paywalls, making it nearly impossible to enjoy without spending extra money.”
