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, with ads appearing every 30 seconds or less, often during critical moments in the game. While some users understand the need for ads in free-to-play games, they express frustration over the aggressive ad strategy, which includes a costly option to remove ads that still allows for numerous interruptions. Overall, the monetization model is seen as a significant detractor from the gaming experience, leading to many uninstalls and low ratings.

- “I quite enjoy this game and even paid for the no ads version.”
- “Great game, just turn off wifi and data and no ads appear, also saves your game even offline.”
- “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.”
- “The game has potential, which is spoiled by malicious and greedy design by the developers. It's impossible to progress without ads.”

- “This game is one of the amazing games I've ever played... the gameplay is out of this world; I definitely recommend playing it and I really hope you enjoy.”
- “If I could give less stars, I would. The gameplay is very glitchy, barely responds to controls, and closes itself out every time I try to play. The same three ads keep popping up, and even if it doesn't freeze, you can barely exit out of it. Fix your game or don't make games at all.”
- “I couldn't even make it through five minutes of gameplay because of how many ads appear. It's annoying to see an ad for every minute of gameplay, like 10-20 seconds of ads.”
- “The gameplay is so repetitive, the missions are the same, and you cannot complete a single mission without watching ads. I feel like every 50 seconds there's an ad, and even though you can skip through 'most' of the ads, it still ruins the gameplay.”
