The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players criticizing it for being heavily reliant on microtransactions and a pay-to-win model.

I would like to say that I have been disappointed by a couple of games similar to this game; they usually make you buy or have flawed game sense where you would be limited by your in-game purchases.

- “What we got is a highly monetized game full of microtransactions and a heavily reliant pay to play system.”

- “Players are heavily complaining about lags, and yet you guys wouldn't listen. Rather, you keep turning a blind eye. Let me say one thing for sure: it's not funny. Please fix it all in your next update.”
