Overall, the monetization approach is viewed as predatory and poorly balanced, significantly impacting player enjoyment.

The story aspect of the game is overshadowed by frustrations related to progression and reward systems, with players expressing dissatisfaction over the reliance on ads for daily mission rewards and the slow pace of advancement. While the game is described as addictive with impressive graphics, issues with claiming rewards and completing quests detract from the overall experience.
- “The guide quest says by day 5 you should be able to beat Insignia Dungeon 5, but I can't even beat the 1st one.”
- “Even to just accept daily mission rewards requires an ad for each one. After playing a week, this game is such a slog; you barely get any diamonds, and progression takes days to clear even 1 stage without buying things from the real money shop.”
- “1 star since daily quest rewards can only be obtained via ads.”

- “Even after constant grinding over the last week, I feel like I'm not making any real progress.”
- “F2P players can get strong by grinding, but it feels like an endless cycle with little reward.”
