The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized as a cash grab, with the developer accused of using low-quality, pre-made assets to create a minimal product for quick profit on Steam. Additionally, there are concerns about fake reviews and accounts promoting these asset flips, indicating a deceptive approach to marketing and sales.
“The developer used a low-quality game construction kit, copying and pasting premade assets to create a minimum functioning product, which they quickly dumped onto Steam as a cash grab.”
“The reviews are all written in either Russian or broken English, appearing almost simultaneously shortly after the game launched on Steam. They all have a direct purchase of the game and are consistently used to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs.”
