The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of these ads, which often disrupt gameplay and lead to crashes. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overall sentiment indicates that the game becomes tedious without in-app purchases to remove ads, which are considered overpriced by many. Overall, players feel that the game prioritizes ad revenue over a smooth gaming experience, leading to a grindy and frustrating experience.
- “I ended up paying for no ads, which is expensive for sure compared to other games ($14?), but the game was way more fun after.”
- “Its impressive how much they want to charge for in-app purchases for a phone game.”
- “Not a fan of high in-game prices, especially the no ads package.”
- “The improvements building clock is too long which you can't really do much else in the game until it's done. Ads for rewards are normal for a couple of videos, and then you get one video where it's almost two minutes long with four different ads. If you weather that ad, the game restarts on you as it assumes you have gone idle, so no reward is given.”
- “When a person spends more time watching ads than playing the game, it is a game not worth playing.”
- “I understand the need for ads, but you can't upgrade anything without watching an ad every 10 seconds or just paying for the game, and that's ridiculous.”

Overall, the graphics of the game are widely praised, with many users highlighting their quality, vibrant animations, and appealing design. However, some players express a desire for smoother graphics and improvements in visual elements, particularly in comparison to other games. While the graphics are generally considered a strong point, concerns about gameplay pacing and progression overshadow this aspect for some users.
- “Great game, love the graphics and animations. I gave it 4 stars because I think it pretty much forces you to buy an extra builder/researcher (about £5-8 depending on deals etc) if you want to develop things in a reasonable time.”
- “Like this tycoon game with bright graphics and variety on levels.”
- “This game graphics are great as well as the characters. I would like to know when will you add more objectives and ways to build the hospital more; I am at the max.”
- “Please this game is fantastic, but needs improvement like TV Empire game because this game doesn't have roads and the outside of the hospital is poor graphic.”
- “The game is good but the graphics are bad.”
- “I well appreciate your term hard work but this game needs some more improvement for example: money earning and smooth graphics like you have in the game Prison Empire. OMG, the Prison Empire game has excellent smooth graphics and easy money earning.”
