The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized, with users pointing out the presence of $99 microtransactions that feel excessive and out of place, especially for a tower defense title. Additionally, the game is described as a poor mobile port, cluttered with inactive in-app purchases, and lacking transparency about its monetization on the Steam page.
“As a tower defense game, it is not bad, but the in-game purchases of $99 are just weird, especially with only 5 lives and a 30-minute timer after you expend one.”
“The Steam page doesn't provide information about it, but this game has been designed for microtransactions on mobile devices.”
“Terrible mobile port packed with $99 in-app purchases everywhere!”

The story aspect of the game is perceived as lacking engagement, with players expressing disinterest in the narrative. It conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, but ultimately fails to resonate with the audience.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Hardly a success story; gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.”

The gameplay is criticized for being poorly optimized for PC and lacking depth, featuring only basic mechanics with limited tower types and upgrades. Players find the dynamics to be among the worst in the tower defense genre, with a simplistic approach that fails to engage.
“The mechanics are basic: 4 kinds of towers, with 3 upgrades and 2 specializations each; there are also 5 power-ups and ranks of enhancements for all through a system of potions.”
“This is a terrible mobile game not optimized for PC, and the gameplay dynamics are some of the worst I've ever experienced in any tower defense game.”
