The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with players noting a reliance on ads to earn in-game currency, particularly diamonds, which are essential for progression. While some appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, many express frustration over the inconsistent availability of ad rewards and the high costs of in-game items, leading to a perception that free-to-play players are at a disadvantage. Overall, players are calling for improvements to the ad system to enhance the gaming experience.
“There aren't ads that pop up in your face, and for me at least it's nostalgic.”
“No ads popping up.”
“Watching ads to get diamonds is practically mandatory to be able to advance 'fast' in this game; it doesn't help that the ads are buggy and sometimes they don't appear for days for some reason.”
“If free-to-play players don't want to be left behind, they have to watch ads. Also, everything is extremely expensive, and the chests are super rigged with a very low chance of getting rare items.”
“Before I even started playing the game, it was shoving ads in my face. I can understand the need for ads, but that's just ridiculous.”
