The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players expressing frustration over frequent ads and aggressive microtransactions that contribute to a pay-to-win environment. While some users appreciate the smooth gameplay and minimal initial ads, many criticize the misleading advertisements and the game's reliance on in-app purchases, leading to perceptions of it being a cash grab.

- “The monetization model is a bit aggressive, but it doesn't ruin the overall experience of the game.”
- “While there are microtransactions, they don't feel mandatory to enjoy the game fully.”
- “Overall not the worst game I've played; the grind for levels is adequate if you speed through just the quests. I hate the constant ads for different in-game items that should only be shown at the beginning of the game and maybe after 3 hours of constant play, not every 5 minutes. Why the constant 'topping off' to get good rewards that help further your account when you should be able to get the same items from events that are super hard since you can't level up your gear efficiently? Fix this for a better review.”
- “Oops, I gave it a 4 but then started getting bombarded by microtransactions; just another pay-to-win trash game, but still not as bad as that piece of Diablo Immortal!”
- “Nice job deleting my 1-star review, but this one I'm going to keep putting up. Sorry, but not sorry. Do a better job and create a more unique gaming experience for people instead of just throwing auto-combat freemium games out for cash grabs to take people's hard-earned money.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, particularly for low-end devices, with frequent crashes, unresponsive graphics settings, and significant battery drain reported. Players experience performance issues, including overheating and lag, even on high-end devices like the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. While some users note improvements in recent updates, the overall sentiment is that the game requires substantial optimization to enhance playability and stability.
- “Fun, but needs optimization and 60 fps option in settings.”
- “It is such a great game and yes, needs improvement (such as optimization, graphics, and the fps keep dropping) but it never really bothered me.”
- “It is getting better, many things got optimized.”
- “Game looks good, story is good, scenes and gameplay are good but: 1) it's not optimized properly for low-end devices (can run on mine just fine but crashes after a few minutes of play) 2) has a bug where it keeps defaulting your graphics settings to medium or higher every time I re-enter the game. After changing it multiple times, I keep having to change it because the custom setting doesn't get saved.”
- “Getting disconnected while doing wolf level 9 and higher is enraging, and the phone is getting hot really quick. Lowering the graphics doesn't help much; performance sucks when at the castle.”
- “The optimization is really poor even if I have a decent 4GB RAM device. It is unplayable to the point, and not to mention it started downloads behind my back and there is no way to even pause. Either fix the optimization or I'll never download this game nor recommend it to anyone... but I will give it one chance since it is a new release.”
