The monetization of "Krystopia: Nova's Journey" has been criticized as a cash grab, with users noting that it feels like a mobile app poorly adapted for PC rather than a genuine game experience. The gameplay relies heavily on simple tapping mechanics, which some players find unworthy of its price on Steam.
- “Krystopia: Nova's Journey is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs. This mobile app is a tapping adventure game where you tap on your iPhone screen to move around fixed levels, tapping on various puzzles, which are typically solved by tapping or swiping/dragging elements around until completed.”
