The monetization aspect has been criticized for misleading advertising, particularly regarding the game's player capacity, which is inaccurately presented as 1-4 players.
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, pushing players to spend money to enjoy the game fully.”
“I was disappointed to find that many features are locked behind paywalls, making it hard to progress without spending extra.”
“The in-game purchases are overpriced and often feel necessary to keep up with other players.”
