The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for being a poorly disguised advertisement rather than a legitimate product, with developers using misleading tactics to promote their app. Users express frustration over the prevalence of fake reviews and the deceptive nature of publishing ads as games, which detracts from genuine developers and harms the gaming community. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as exploitative, prioritizing profit over quality and transparency.
- “Legendary Hoplite is a poorly made mobile app tier Plants vs. Zombies ripoff, and it's incredibly weird to see shady developers like this push out an advertisement and pay for a bunch of fake reviews from a Russian review farm uncovered by Sentinels of the Store.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and, in some ways, harmful.”
- “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behavior and it's not good for gamers.”

The story in "Legendary Hoplite" draws inspiration from mythological themes, particularly the reimagining of the Arachne myth into skill-testing trials, which players appreciate. However, many reviewers criticize the dialogue as poorly written and lacking depth, comparing it unfavorably to other titles like "Hades."

- “Additionally, players can earn additional rewards by completing special missions and facing mythological creatures.”

- “To sum up: the biggest con is the poorly written dialogue and story.”
- “The voicing and story are basic.”
