The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the high frequency and length of ads, which often disrupt gameplay. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the general consensus is that the costs for in-app purchases, particularly for removing ads, are excessively high compared to similar games. Overall, players feel that the game leans heavily on monetization strategies, making progress feel slow and often requiring either significant ad watching or spending real money.
“The game is pretty fun, but the best part is the little to no ads. I've been playing for 10 minutes and haven't experienced one; most games have tons of ads, so that is awesome.”
“Really enjoy the no ads buy option which allows you to skip all video watching for speed ups.”
“No ads forced on players, which is why I rated it 4 stars. If players like the game, people will still invest time on ads, so it was a good strategy for the long run.”
“Your income can't keep up with the cost of upgrades without watching a million ads.”
“The main problem is that some ads last longer than 30 seconds, and some ads go indefinitely. You need to kill the app to close them, and then you lose the bonus for which you watched the ad in the first place.”
“I wanted to like it, but it's just too much of a cash grab.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of missions and quests, which leaves players feeling unengaged and bored after reaching certain milestones. While the concept of a fire station game is appreciated, many users express a desire for more interactive elements, such as rescue missions and a reward system, to enhance gameplay and provide a sense of progression. Overall, the absence of a compelling storyline or tasks to complete significantly detracts from the gaming experience.
“Eldle firefighter captivates players with its engaging storyline and realistic firefighting mechanics.”
“It's not hard to follow along with the story; there is a lot going on but still pretty easy.”
“The graphics are vibrant, and the missions are challenging, making it a rewarding experience!”
“The story ends.”
“Originally when I first played, I was enjoying it, until you come to the realization that once you have maxed out your fire station, that's it. You're done; other than logging in and collecting money, there is nothing more you can do, no story mode, no tasks or quests to keep you playing.”
“My review has been deleted, so I will post it again: boring game, no quests or anything makes me want to play it.”
