Reviewers express disappointment that the 2v2 mode, which was heavily advertised, was not included at launch, suggesting a monetization strategy that may rely on future content releases or additional purchases.
“I guess I just assumed that a game advertising 2v2 would have released with this mode already built in.”
“The monetization system feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending money.”
“It's frustrating that essential features are locked behind paywalls, forcing players to spend more to access the full experience.”
