The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players reporting an excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay and a strong push towards microtransactions. Many users feel that the game is designed to force them into watching ads or spending money to progress, labeling it a "cash grab." While some players appreciate the option to bypass ads through purchases, the overall sentiment is that the aggressive monetization detracts significantly from the gaming experience.
- “This game is honestly amazing, especially because of one unique feature: ad passes. This means you can farm to get no ads entirely. It's a really good way to make your game stand out, and I think it's pretty cool.”
- “Good game, victim of aggressive monetization!”
- “Another bullet heaven on mobile, filled to the brim with microtransactions.”
- “No forced ads but no way to reroll skills, so you end up watching it anyway. Some of the stats are useless as well, and you're forced to buy to progress talents.”
- “You will spend more time seeing ads than playing the game.”
- “The game got way difficult after the update, and also no free skill change. You have to watch ads for your first skill change during a game. It sucks and doesn't have any game modes where we can farm rune fragments or equipment.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness, fun design, and engaging mechanics, reminiscent of other survivor-style games. However, many users express frustration over monetization tactics, such as energy bars and ads, which they feel detract from the overall experience and suggest a focus on profit over player enjoyment. Overall, while the core gameplay is enjoyable, it is marred by perceived greed and poor mechanics.
- “I love the gameplay, graphics, and music of the game.”
- “Also, its gameplay (FPS) is smooth.”
- “This game is so good; its design, layout, and gameplay itself are very fun.”
- “This game copies all of the mechanics from that game, adds weird difficulty scaling, and then pushes you to buy stuff and watch ads to overcome it.”
- “Literally can't spell damage is spelled 'dagame' and the talent tree regeneration has no effect on gameplay; you don't regenerate your health. Feels like a knockoff game to make a quick penny.”
- “Game is fun until it hit me with an 'energy bar'; seems greedy to block gameplay behind a paywall... 1 star.”

Many feel that the game is designed to encourage spending money to bypass the grind, leading to a perception of it being a "grindy waste of life." Overall, while some enjoy the challenge, the overwhelming sentiment is that the grinding detracts from the overall experience.
- “After that point, it takes days of grinding just to pass one level, with each level taking longer than the one before it.”
- “I've been grinding the same level for about 3 weeks now and still can't make it more than 3 minutes in.”
- “Another grindy waste of your life or cash game with okay graphics and just enough fun to get you playing, trying to turn out your pockets as levels become impossible to beat without spending your life or money.”
