The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized due to a surge of suspicious reviews, predominantly in broken English or Russian, that appear shortly after launch. These reviews are linked to accounts that have made direct purchases of the game and are suspected of promoting asset flips and scams, raising concerns about the authenticity of user feedback and the game's overall value.
- “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, with prices set unreasonably high for in-game items that should be accessible to all players.”
