The monetization model of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads and intrusive microtransactions. Many users report that ads appear after nearly every action, significantly disrupting gameplay and leading to crashes, while others feel that the in-app purchases are overpriced and necessary to progress. Overall, the aggressive monetization tactics have detracted from the enjoyment of the game, with numerous players wishing for a paid version that would eliminate ads entirely.
- “I think microtransactions are still acceptable if you make a good design around them, but forcing movie commercials in games is the bottom line of destroying immersion or any sense of gratitude for their players and fans.”
- “Great at first but soon realized it is almost impossible to improve your character without microtransactions, which cost much more than they should.”
- “Amazing, simplistic gameplay, loads of content; however, be warned the in-app purchases can be expensive.”
- “The monetization of the game is a joke, along with the mass amount of ads that make it unbearable.”
- “This game is filled with so many ads and microtransactions that it ruins the game.”
- “The game is fun and addictive, but the ads take 87 years to load, interrupting gameplay and causing lag.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with many players noting that there is no substantial plot or storyline to engage with.

- “No story, items are only winnable in mystery boxes, silver income is low, and the bosses are boring and annoying at best; it's literally one single boss with higher HP each time.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and ability to enhance the gameplay experience, with many players enjoying the soundtrack and sound effects.

- “Though, the one thing I have a gripe with is it closing my music while I play.”
