The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of forced ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report spending more time watching ads than actually playing the game, with ads appearing every 30 seconds or less, often during critical moments like battles. While some users understand the need for ads in free-to-play games, the frequency and intrusiveness of these ads have led to frustration and numerous uninstalls, with many expressing a willingness to pay for a truly ad-free experience, which is currently not offered.
- “Some of the highest rated games on the market have no forced ads and no ads on screen while playing.”
- “I quite enjoy this game and even paid for the no ads version.”
- “This game is very good but ruined by monetization.”
- “At some point in the game, you can't progress anymore without watching an ad because the resources you need to progress are only given by ads and task rewards. Even if you spend them optimally, it's not enough without ads.”
- “The game would be good if there weren't more ads than playtime. You spend 10 times longer watching ads than playing the game.”
- “This game is a complete pay-to-win cash grab. The forced ads are excessive and ruin the gameplay experience.”
