monetization
49 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of forced ads, particularly after recent updates that increased their frequency. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the mandatory ads at the start and end of each game session have been labeled as intrusive and a major deterrent to continued play. Additionally, the subscription model to remove ads has been viewed as overpriced, leading to a perception of the game as a "predatory cash grab."

“So to simplify, the game is overcomplicated in its reward and monetization, and minimized in content and gameplay depth.”
