The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting a heavy reliance on ads for in-game currency and progression.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, citing slow progression, unbalanced AI attacks, and a lack of effective income generation methods.

- “It's good at first glance, but when you really start to look at it, it's terrible. The troop power numbers just don't add up at all. Progression is slow and tedious, especially when you start. It's highly unpolished, and I swear half of the bonuses have no effect at all.”
