The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive frequency of forced ads that interrupt gameplay, often occurring every 1-2 minutes. Many players express frustration over the high cost of removing ads, which they feel is unjustified given the game's design, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes profit over player experience. Overall, the intrusive ads significantly detract from the enjoyment of the game, with numerous users stating they would uninstall rather than endure the constant interruptions.
“I paid for the no ads feature because this game is worth it.”
“Enjoyed so much that I paid for no ads and then for the x3 boost.”
“It's a great game to kill some time & do yourself a favor & buy the no ads forever.. they can get a bit much, but, after that the game is very enjoyable.”
“Although I like the game and the concept of it, the forced ads every 2 minutes make it unplayable and really annoying.”
“Ads crash the game 90% of the time, and that's honestly not exaggerated. You kinda have to watch ads, even like me who paid for ad removal to make it somewhat playable, so if you're okay with 2-minute reboots loading screen like 10 times a day, then this game is for you.”
“The frequency of the ads in this game is obnoxious and absolutely ruins gameplay.”

The gameplay of the game is generally described as simple, engaging, and potentially enjoyable, featuring mechanics like resource gathering and crafting. However, the overwhelming frequency of forced ads—often interrupting gameplay every 1-2 minutes—significantly detracts from the experience, leading many players to express frustration and disappointment. While some appreciate the art style and core mechanics, the pervasive ad interruptions overshadow the gameplay, making it feel more like an ad delivery system than a cohesive gaming experience.
“The gameplay and aesthetics are pretty good.”
“Gameplay does improve greatly in later stages when unlocking expeditions, scavengers, and upgrades.”
“I love the gameplay and would rate a 5 star if it were not for the issue of the constant ads popping up mid expedition.”
“Gameplay is boring, just walk to a place and wait for your character to hit an object an arbitrary amount of times to get resources, bring those resources back to base and upgrade gear (every level has a longer upgrade timer which you can pay to skip of course) and repeat until you uninstall.”
“Forced ads during active gameplay, and the ads cause the game to reset.”
“The gameplay is slow, and boring.”

Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a significant barrier to enjoyment, especially for free-to-play users.

“The upgrade requirements are seriously tedious and the components you need are very scarce compared to how often you need them.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting it as excessively RAM-intensive, leading to frequent crashes and significant performance drops, especially on lower-end devices. Many players note that the presence of ads exacerbates these issues, further degrading gameplay experience. Overall, while the game has potential, its current state is deemed unplayable for those without high-end hardware.
“The optimization seems to plummet with every update; it was occasionally freezing to having an issue every 10 minutes.”
“Gameplay wise 5 stars, but the game is horribly optimized.”
“If the optimization is fixed or if a low resources mode is added, I'll gladly give 5 stars.”
“The app is too RAM intensive for entry-level and budget performance devices, not even worth playing unless you have 8+ GB of RAM, which means a $600 plus phone. In which case, you probably aren't playing free games... nice try, but fix the game reset issue, then we'll talk.”
“Game is poorly optimized and prone to random crashes.”
“The optimization seems to plummet with every update; it went from occasionally freezing to having an issue every 10 minutes.”
