The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, with players frequently reporting an overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay and progression. Many users express frustration over the necessity to watch lengthy ads for rewards, often feeling that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game. While some players appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience, the overall sentiment indicates that the ad frequency detracts significantly from the enjoyment of the game.
“This game is the best for people who have some free time; also, no ads unless you want to get rewards.”
“It's really nice; no ads unless you want to get a reward.”
“This game is so fun; no ads, and it's hard, but I don't care—it's so fun, really, so very good! 😊😊👍”
“Prepare to spend money on this game or get bombarded with an insane number of ads.”
“After the first few days, you'll spend more time watching ads for rewards just to progress than actually playing the game.”
“This game is absolutely riddled with ads; you get about 10 seconds of playtime for every ad, which would be really fun if you didn't have to watch an ad to basically level up through the game.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable and features appealing graphics, but it suffers from significant repetitiveness and an over-reliance on ads, which can detract from the overall experience. Many players express frustration with the lack of new content, such as events and mechanics, and the frequent interruptions caused by ads, leading to a feeling that watching ads has become a core part of the gameplay. While some appreciate the mechanics and find the game fun, others criticize it for being derivative and lacking depth compared to similar titles.
“Very fun and enjoyable gameplay.”
“It's really good, great graphics and good gameplay; minor details that may need to be sorted, but other than that, it's really good.”
“Good game, you can get coins easily, the designs of the shooters are cute and pretty, smooth gameplay and no problems so far.”
“Yeah, the gameplay rapidly becomes repetitive, but my main problems are two: the lack of events and things to do as one progresses (you'll find yourself watching more ads than playing) and, most importantly, the watch ad for 3x reward after each boss doesn't give the additional reward.”
“But there comes a point where the ads turn from gameplay booster to being the gameplay itself, and I'm afraid this is what happens in Home Defense.”
“Very little gameplay and mostly watching ads.”

The stability of the game has been widely criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and loss of progress, particularly after watching ads or reaching higher levels. Many players express frustration over the game's bugs, which significantly hinder gameplay and lead to uninstallation for some. While a few users note a lack of glitches, the overall consensus highlights a pressing need for updates to address these stability issues.
“So far, it has been fun merging the monsters and seeing the great designs. There are no glitches or bugs; I currently have three elites, which means it is possible for everyone to get elites.”
“Whenever I get far into the game, it freezes and I have to restart the app, which always resets my progress to level 1. Anytime you close the app, it will also reset.”
“It just stops randomly or glitches to the point you can't do anything at all.”
“Game always freezes to the point that it's no longer playable.”

The story aspect of the game has received criticism for being underdeveloped and lacking depth, with players expressing a desire for more quests and a cohesive narrative.

Overall, there is a call for improvements in storytelling and mission structure to enhance player engagement.
“Give the game a purpose through a story.”
“More quests and exploration would be interesting, too.”
“I expected a story-like adventure like the PVZ franchise, but instead got an idle tycoon game.”
“I finished all the missions in the portal and was expecting to unlock the next stage, but it didn't happen.”
“It's a fun game and a nice time killer, but my problem is it won't let me watch any of the ads to get things or to pass daily quests. I will rate higher if this is fixed.”

“Downloaded this game hoping to hear the cute song during gameplay, only to be disappointed. Other than that, I have no complaints.”
“Yes, it's a good game. It keeps me happy when I'm bored, and when my parents argue, I just put on my headphones, play my music, and play this. It's really calming.”

“It's very funny and enjoyable.”

“I expected more clever humor, but it was mostly just cringeworthy.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a double-edged sword; while it can lead to slow progression and feels endless, it also offers a fun experience for a limited time, particularly after reaching higher levels. Some users have discovered ways to bypass certain grinding elements, enhancing their enjoyment.
“Endless grinding leads to slow progression, but it can be fun for a week or 10 days.”
“I renewed after reaching level 60, but I still had level 59 monsters in the taming button. I caught one and bypassed all the grinding, as it started hatching level 51 monsters now.”
