The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay and the reliance on watching ads to progress or unlock features. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game has become overly reliant on ads and microtransactions, detracting from the overall experience. A few players noted that the game can still be enjoyed without spending money, but the aggressive ad placement and energy mechanics have led to a perception of it being a cash grab.
“Free games needing to offer in-app purchases is necessary, and isn't a problem under two circumstances.”
“Great games and the in-app purchase is really fair and reasonable.”
“Point system, and in-game purchases are well balanced out.”
“When I first started this, it was a good game, but as I progressed, I realized that this game has way too many ads and it is pay-to-win.”
“There are so many ads I can't even play the game; by the time I get to the main menu, I've already seen three ads. Every literal three seconds is an ad, and some of them are ads saying my phone has a virus, which clicking that ad would give a virus. It's literally unplayable.”
“This takes the original, improves the graphics, makes the controls glitchy, and removes a bunch of the fun elements, then stuffs it full of ads, timers, and grinds that you need to pay to overcome. It's the grabbiest game I've ever had and not all that much fun.”

Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game has become overly tedious and heavily monetized, with many players expressing frustration over the necessity to watch ads or pay real money to progress. While some enjoy the challenge of unlocking all weapons and achieving high scores, the overall sentiment leans towards disappointment due to the excessive grind required, particularly for those aiming for completion without spending.
“I loved this when I was younger, but now I hate it because it's just an ad-driven app. The grind is already tedious, and now I can't even progress without watching a stupid ad every single stage I start. It's disappointing and shameless; you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.”
“It gets extremely grindy if you want to unlock all weapons for free (required to complete all challenges) - however, it is possible.”
“The grinding increased; on top of the money to buy a weapon, now they have a blueprint system that forces you to buy more weapons of the same kind more than 10 times.”

The game's replayability is mixed; while new costumes and features like watching ads for extra crates add some value, limitations such as energy costs, restricted weapon upgrades, and a capped player level detract from long-term engagement. Players find the experience too short, with many completing it quickly and feeling a lack of depth compared to previous installments. Overall, the potential for replayability exists but is hampered by design choices that limit player progression and variety.
“The new costumes add a touch more replayability, with options like the jack o'lantern, dino, and knight suits, making the game more enjoyable.”
“Compared to the first game, the second one is now more playable and offers better replayability with features like watching ads to open extra crates and speed up time.”
“The game has some replay value, but it could be improved by allowing full levels for each gun and increasing the player level cap.”
“Doesn't have the weapon goals, loot boxes provide random blueprints instead of being able to unlock what you want, you only have 3 slots for boxes, and energy cost limits replayability.”
“Great game, way too short though. If they didn't cheapen it up by not allowing full 10 levels for each gun and by making it have some replay value, it would be way better. Maxing player level to 46 is not cool either; I beat the game in 3 days, and it was boring after that.”
“It needs to figure out if it's a serious shooter or an arcade shooter, but either way it can excel. Although the new costumes add a touch more replayability, the options are still limited.”
