The game is free to play on mobile but features in-app purchases that lock significant content behind a paywall, which users find frustrating. Players express a desire for the additional content to be accessible in the PC version through gameplay rather than requiring additional payments or DLC.
“They have a mobile game for free, but they have in-app purchases that offer a lot more to the game. Sadly, the 'a lot more' content is hidden behind a paywall on the mobile app. I wish they would add this content to the PC version of the game, making it obtainable just by playing and not through DLC or a paywall.”
“The monetization strategy is frustrating; it feels like the game is designed to push players towards spending money rather than enjoying the gameplay.”
“It's disappointing to see that so much of the game's content is locked behind paywalls, making it hard to fully enjoy the experience without spending extra money.”
