The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, which players find excessively intrusive and disruptive to gameplay, often leading to frustration. While some users appreciate the option to earn rewards through watching ads, the overwhelming frequency of ads—especially after matches—detracts from the overall experience. Many reviewers suggest reducing the number of ads or offering a paid option to remove them entirely to enhance enjoyment.
“I appreciate that there are no ads when playing in ghost mode; it really enhances the experience.”
“The monetization model is fair and doesn't feel intrusive, allowing me to enjoy the game without constant interruptions.”
“I love that I can support the developers through optional purchases without feeling pressured to spend money.”
“Insane amount of ads, why are there ads in a battle royale game?”
“Wth, I can't even play one game, I can only watch the ads....ohhhh!!!”
“Great game idea except you guys executed this so badly. This is pay-to-win and you guys need money right now, so as an extra, you put ads. I really like this game, but please make quests so we can earn gems by grinding because a lot of people aren't rich enough to buy 80 gems for 1 dollar.”

While some updates have improved performance for certain users, a substantial number still encounter persistent stability problems that need urgent attention.

“I wish I could give it 0 stars; it's super laggy. The updates are over 10GB and waste half my storage. I don't recommend it, and the game always freezes—it's so annoying.”
“The game is very buggy, and when I move my camera, it goes to the same place after six seconds. Please fix this glitch.”
