The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, featuring minimal development and heavy reliance on mobile-style microtransactions. Players can buy, sell, and trade tokens for real money, further emphasizing the game's focus on profit over quality. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as exploitative and detrimental to the gaming experience.
- “This is basically a weak cash grab, a barebones game, laughably lazy, just a couple of lame assets dropped on an arena shooter game template for Unity. Little to no real development work happened here, but this was never intended to be a real game.”
- “This game is infested with mobile app store-like microtransactions.”
- “The grift and cash grabbing keeps getting worse. This product is hooked into Steam's 'totally not NFTs' community marketplace/inventory, which means you can buy, sell, and trade 'tokens' (fungible ones in this case) for real-world money, and you can 'earn' these tokens by playing the game.”

- “In the end, it’s a simple shooter where people are swapped out for pearphones, and honestly, that’s kind of funny.”
