The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the prevalence of long, unskippable ads that interrupt gameplay, particularly during crafting and inventory management. While some players appreciate the option to pay for ad removal, many express frustration over the necessity of separate purchases for this feature and the overall intrusive nature of the ads. Overall, the consensus suggests that the monetization approach detracts from the gaming experience, with calls for a more user-friendly model that minimizes interruptions.
- “Game play is smooth, no ads. I'm all about this game! I would love to see a way to increase the capacity in the inventory. I'm still new, so there could already be a way; I just haven't seen one.”
- “If this was a paid game with no ads and no in-app purchases, it would be 5 stars, and I would definitely buy it. Hopefully, the development team will make one, and all progress will get carried over to the paid version if possible.”
- “Great game! I just wish there were no ads for those that bought it before it was free.”
- “I can't give a better rating considering how long this game has been available, the issues it has, and the only additions being microtransactions and ads.”
- “The ads are really long, longer than for the rest of the apps on my phone.”
- “Would have given it 5 stars but requiring a separate purchase to remove ads rather than having one purchase of any kind remove them is a cheap money grabbing tactic.”

stability

Players have experienced game-altering glitches, unreliable controls, and performance problems, particularly after updates, leading to a frustrating experience.

grinding

The reviews highlight that the game involves significant grinding, which can be both entertaining and tedious.

- “The save game is not saving all the time. I was 17% finished, saved the game, went out, and when I wanted to play again, all my previous progress was lost and I was back at 15% game completed. A lot of grinding lost!”
- “The amount of grinding you have to go through and all the struggle you do is simply not worth the meager upgrades you get.”
