The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with accusations of using stolen assets and templates to create low-quality content. Reviewers highlight the unrealistic pricing of $10 USD, especially given the availability of superior and free alternatives on Steam, and suggest a pattern of unethical practices by the developers.
“This time he's ripped off a YoYoGames/GameMaker Studio template for a tower defense game where you can move the retro pixel towers around. This is garbage because it's just another cash grab in a series of attempts to scam gamers into getting paid for someone else's work.”
“Atomic Fabrik/Cristian Manolachi have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“Obelix's Tower Defense has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of $10 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games, let alone the sheer number of free games available on Steam.”
