The monetization model of the game has been widely criticized for being overly aggressive and resembling a cash grab, with many players expressing frustration over the high costs of in-game currency (gems) and the limited opportunities to earn them through ads or daily rewards. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for gems, the low rewards (typically 3 gems per ad) and the high prices for essential choices (often 100-300 gems) create a significant barrier to enjoying the game without spending money. Overall, players are calling for more balanced monetization strategies, such as increased gem rewards for ads or alternative methods to earn gems, to enhance the gameplay experience.
“The game is really fun, but the in-app purchases are extortionate.”
“This game has so much potential, if only they'd got the balance right on in-app purchases instead of trying to be greedy.”

“The monetization in this game really detracts from the gameplay.”
“This game really is just a cash grab.”
“The game is a blatant cash grab where almost everything requires in-game currency, which is not that easy to come by.”

While the game is enjoyable, the current structure leaves players wanting more engaging and accessible content to explore.
