The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and necessity of watching ads to progress. While some appreciate the option to earn rewards through ads and the availability of in-app purchases to remove them, others feel that the game becomes a grind, forcing them to watch excessive ads or spend money to advance. Overall, the balance between gameplay and ad viewing is a significant point of contention, with many players feeling that the game leans too heavily on monetization at the expense of enjoyment.
- “Awesome game! The in-app purchases are cheap, there is an average amount of grind, and lots of ways to progress.”
- “It's a perfect idle shop game with in-game purchases, but it definitely doesn't force you to buy them to continue, and you are very fairly rewarded for watching short ads.”
- “It's a fun game! If you want to really go faster, you can buy the no ads option, or you can play normally.”
- “I don't mind watching ads to progress in a game, but it's not cool to make me watch an ad and then shortchange me on the reward.”
- “There is very little game here to play compared to the number of ads I need to watch to progress.”

- “Terrible graphics for a game as simple as this.”

The story revolves around the player as an arms dealer, which aligns with the tycoon gameplay but is criticized for its simplicity and lack of depth.

Overall, while the premise has potential, the execution is marred by bugs and a monetization model that detracts from the experience.

- “One of my quests is 'build a segway station,' and I did that, but it was in an event so it didn't register.”
- “However, I ended up spending more time with 'optional' ads than actually playing the game, with the majority of missions kept locked away behind ad walls.”
- “Not even an hour into the game, the mission system broke, and even though I had already built something, it was not acknowledging that I did.”
- “You need to spend real money to pass the first mission!”
