The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the absence of forced ads and the game's design elements, but expressing frustration over the frequent requirement to watch ads to enhance gameplay. Many feel that this reliance on ad viewing diminishes the experience, particularly for free-to-play users who want to support the developers in other ways.
“I think income shouldn't rely on king making; it cuts motivation from free-to-play competitors who are willing to support the developers by watching advertisements.”
“Super fun, except that the game basically forces you to watch too many ads in order to increase your damage permanently.”
“If I didn't have to watch ads every 5 minutes, it would be 5 stars.”
