The monetization of Plasma Attack is criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users describing it as a poorly executed game that appears to be hastily produced using a template, lacking originality and quality. Players are advised to avoid it due to its exploitative nature.
- “Plasma Attack is a 'template flip'; it's a game that has been produced by copying a game template, filling out forms in GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, and then dumping the barely functional product on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
- “This is nothing but a lazy, greedy cash grab and should be avoided.”
