The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users highlighting its reliance on a GameMaker template and the unethical practice of repackaging others' work. The game's pricing is deemed unrealistic, especially given the availability of superior and free alternatives on Steam, leading to accusations of deceptive marketing and fake reviews.

- “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.”
