The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being overly aggressive and misleading. Players report a high volume of ads, often appearing after every game or action, which detracts from the overall experience and leads to frustration. Many users feel that the game is designed to push in-app purchases, with claims of "no ads" in advertisements being deemed false, as ads are prevalent and often mandatory for rewards or progression.

“The best part of this game is no ads in between games.”
“No ads unless you choose to watch them for extra rewards.”

The story aspect of the game is perceived as convoluted and overly focused on monetization, with players expressing frustration over the abundance of side quests and the pressure to spend money to progress.

“I was disappointed in the quest pass; I paid $4.99 plus tax for it to last only 3 days.”
“Money, money, money—that's all they want. You have to play for hours to get anything, and then you pay money. You know it's a different story; I'm sick of this.”
