The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many users labeling it a cash grab filled with intrusive microtransactions reminiscent of mobile games. While some players acknowledge the necessity for developers to earn revenue, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game feels exploitative, especially given the low player base and broken ad features meant to offer rewards. Overall, the monetization approach has detracted from the gaming experience, leading to frustration among users.
- “Well, it's basically just a game that was aimed towards a younger audience, and about the monetization in-game, keep in mind that the devs need to make a living out of this game too. As long as you'd love it that the monetizations weren't a thing, not only in this game but in most newer titles, you just gotta admire the work of some devs. If you really enjoy their game, you're not forced to pay for in-game stuff; you can only do so if you want to.”
- “The prices for all the microtransactions are just fine.”
- “I didn't pay for microtransactions but was able to afford a mid-level gun after two matches.”

- “Before the update, the game wasn't bad, but now it's just full of microtransactions and 'watch an ad for a reward'.”
- “The developers probably just put this game up on Steam hoping to make a few quick bucks off of the microtransactions from people with either too much money/time on their hands and/or people with too few brain cells in their heads.”
