The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over aggressive microtransactions and a reliance on an energy system that limits gameplay. While some appreciate the lack of forced ads and the option to watch them for rewards, others criticize the frequent crashes and bugs associated with ad viewing, as well as the overall perception of the game as a cash grab. Overall, players seem to prefer a model that allows for optional purchases without compromising the core gameplay experience.
- “Minimal in-game purchases that can be ignored and the game is still playable.”
- “Microtransactions are present but not forced nor required to have fun.”
- “No ads, fun gameplay.”
- “Constantly harasses the user with ads for its microtransactions.”
- “This chibi-doom edition of Archero is generally fun, but has quality of life issues and contains the worst kinds of monetization design found in mobile games: revolving time-limit offers, typical predatory tiers of in-game currency, horse armor, battle pass, and no option for one-time-buy ad removal.”
- “The game is great in terms of gameplay and progression, but has a huge problem with an overly restrictive energy system (which shouldn't be there at all, just let people play when they want), and no way to pay to remove ads, though they thankfully never come up in the middle of gameplay.”
