Monetization in this game is heavily criticized due to misleading and deceptive advertising, with many users reporting that the actual gameplay does not match the ads, often resulting in bait-and-switch complaints. Despite these concerns, some players note that the game features few or no intrusive ads and allows progress without mandatory spending, though pay-to-win elements and slow progression without purchases are also mentioned.
