The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being forced to watch numerous ads to unlock items or progress, with some claiming they have to watch up to 60 ads for a single reward. Additionally, the high cost of in-app purchases and subscriptions to remove ads has been criticized, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes profit over user experience. Overall, while some users appreciate the gameplay, the intrusive ad system significantly detracts from their enjoyment.
- “It seems almost malicious at times with how it locks everything behind all manner of paywalls and microtransactions.”
- “This game has way too many microtransactions and when an item says it's free, you have to watch like 100 ads.”
- “Considering all of the microtransactions, subscriptions, and the loot box system, this game should be illegal and Playgendary should go out of business.”
- “The sheer number of ads is beyond ridiculous, making the game virtually unplayable.”
- “You spend more time watching ads than actually playing the game.”
- “The amount of ads you force your users to watch to make basic progress in the game is absolutely horrendous.”

- “This game lagged so much, it's not funny.”
- “And there are so many ads, it's not funny. Literally every 30 seconds there is an ad, and I'm not paying money to be able to play a game.”
