  • monetization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a substantial story, which some players feel could enhance the experience, particularly through quests and missions that reward in-game bonuses.

    • “It is a fun game that has a long quest and a lot of upgrades.”
