The monetization model of the game is primarily ad-based, with users noting that while all ads are optional, many tutorial missions require watching ads to progress. Players express frustration over the long loading times for ads and the frequency with which they are prompted to watch them, suggesting that a one-time payment option to remove ads would significantly improve the experience. Overall, while the game is considered free-to-play, the heavy reliance on ads detracts from enjoyment for some users.
“This is compounded by the fact that the tutorial requires you to watch several thirty-second ads to complete it.”
“Said ads do not load quickly with wait times that are often longer than the ad itself.”
“Too many ads that are required to complete quests, and way too glitchy.”

Additionally, many quests involve watching ads, leading to a repetitive and somewhat tedious experience, despite the enjoyment found in the missions and minigames.

“My issue with the game now is that it looks like there is no way to make friends without an ID, and you need to make friends to complete a mission.”
“It's a bit boring, very overwhelmingly colorful, too many of the quests are just 'watch an ad', and the minigames are surprisingly hard (although I've only played 5).”
