The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often lasting 30 seconds or more. Many players express frustration over the intrusive nature of these ads, which appear after nearly every level and can lead to game crashes, diminishing the overall enjoyment. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the excessive reliance on ads and in-app purchases has led to a perception of the game as a cash grab, prompting many to consider uninstalling.
- “I like the game, and I don't have any problem with ads as long as it gives powers, but the problem with this game is there are almost no ads and its loading time is also very high, for that I have to wait a lot.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to long wait times for resources and the repetitive nature of side quests.
