The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and necessity of ads for progression. While some appreciate the optional nature of ads and the availability of in-app purchases, others feel overwhelmed by constant prompts to watch ads or spend money, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Technical issues, such as ads not loading or crashing the game, further detract from the overall experience.
- “In-app purchases are worth it.”
- “Game is great, very entertaining and it doesn't push in-game purchases.”
- “No ads but bonus content available through videos and purchases.”
- “Really leaning into the microtransactions in a way that hinders any progress.”
- “You will not be able to advance early if you don't watch the ads, which pop up about every 30 seconds and give you exactly how much you need to buy the next villager.”
- “Game content is now locked behind paywalls and in-game purchases, it's sad to see because it was a really fun game, but I can see that they nerfed the way that workers are acquired to be almost impossible to work with.”

- “I really love the characters; they are really cute and chibi, and the art style of them is amazing.”
- “This game is ok-ish but not good enough to keep: first of all, the tutorial is bad and has too little, I was confused why you would need wood considering the no building option, second of all, the bad graphics, I could probably count the pixels of a person in 4 hours, and the feet are out of the texture range, third of all, the lack of features, there's no build features, any menu functions are non-existent, there's no demands of the citizens.”
- “Graphics quality very low and can't play properly without watching ads.”
- “This game has the worst graphics I have ever seen and the king sounds constipated. I can't listen to that heeeeeeeeeer sound again or I'm going to hit my phone with a sledgehammer.”

- “This game runs great and is a great concept, but it just feels like a cash grab.

- “However, there is not much to do in the late game other than farming artifacts.”
- “The wood does literally nothing. I've been playing the game for a couple of days now and have gotten hundreds of food, and the wood just hasn't done anything. It's just grinding for food for nothing.”
