The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the ads intrusive and distracting, particularly in gameplay. While some appreciate the game being free and note that ads are reduced, others argue that their placement detracts significantly from the experience, suggesting that they should be relocated to less disruptive areas. Overall, the consensus is that while ads are expected in a freemium model, their current implementation is bothersome and could be improved.
- “The ads, though supposedly greatly reduced, are still distracting and annoying, and need to be moved out of the game space altogether.”
- “I get that this is, by description 'freemium', but when the first map I go to has two ads in every single direction I turn to the point I feel like I'm looking at a computer with a dozen viruses, it's not very nice.”
- “The ads are pretty obnoxious and they are all over the place.”

The game's graphics exceed expectations, though they appear to rely heavily on assets sourced from asset stores, leading to a somewhat unoriginal visual style.
- “The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are 'borrowed' from asset stores or elsewhere.”
- “The visuals are underwhelming and feel outdated, lacking the polish that modern games typically offer.”
- “Character models are poorly designed and lack detail, making it hard to connect with the game world.”
