  • monetization
    356 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Players report being bombarded with ads after nearly every action, leading to a perception of the game as a "cash grab" that prioritizes ad revenue over user experience. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the frequency and intrusiveness of ads have made the game feel unplayable for many, with high costs associated with removing ads further aggravating the situation.

    • “The story is weak and the graphics... yikes.”
