The monetization model of the game primarily revolves around optional ads that players can watch for rewards, which many find beneficial for progression.

Overall, the balance between ad viewing and gameplay experience is a point of contention, with some players enjoying the system and others finding it overly aggressive.
“I rarely feel insulted by monetization.”
“It has a fair monetization model and I appreciate that.”

“The game expects you to view ads for a chance to receive a chest for a chance to get a piece of an upgrade for a chance to get a piece you don't have.”
“Main quest keeps blocking you with 'get new tech piece' which requires you to either spend gems or watch multiple ads in a row, nice game ruined by very aggressive monetization.”

The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and interactivity, with players expressing a desire for more engaging quests and narrative elements. Many reviews highlight the repetitive nature of the gameplay and the aggressive monetization tactics that hinder the experience, suggesting that the addition of battles, adventures, and a more developed storyline could significantly enhance the overall enjoyment. Overall, while the game's aesthetics are appreciated, the absence of a compelling story and meaningful choices leaves players wanting more.
“I love this game to death! I will play it 24/7 on Saturdays. The graphics, the sounds, the game plot—everything about it is amazing. I'm in love!”
“Its design and plot are nice.”
“Good concept but it might be better with a small story to it.”
“Interactivity and choices are almost nonexistent, so there's nothing to manage, and quests are just milestones.”
“There are a very limited amount of buildings, events, and quests to do.”
“It's good and easy game, but the problem is that there's no fight, no story, nothing. For players who don't update to gain money, you have to update everything. I wish you would make fights between humans and orcs or undead... any battle or story would be good.”
