The game's story is generally well-received, with many players finding it engaging and enjoyable, often comparing it favorably to similar titles.

- “The storyline is improbable.”

- “It was an okay game but did not take long before the price of stuff went too high and then the wait times are just crazy. It's not a game you can just sit and play for a while because it takes too long to do anything. It's a shame the story is good but now the game is boring.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, primarily due to the intrusive and glitchy ads that disrupt gameplay and often fail to provide promised rewards. Many players feel that the game has shifted towards a pay-to-win model, making progress difficult without spending real money, while others express frustration over the frequency and nature of the ads, including inappropriate content for younger audiences. Overall, the monetization approach has led to a decline in player satisfaction, with many users uninstalling the game due to these issues.
- “No ads, no pressure to rate the game, just a wonderful time killer.”
- “Love the game so far because it has no advertising and is something different from any that I have played.”
- “It's a great game, very addictive but need to be careful with in-app purchases, as you need to spend money to move on.”
- “The most recent update added ads to the game, and now it causes my system UI to crash, freezes, lags like crazy, and often gets stuck in ad loops and won't give me the reward for watching because the app doesn't think I've completed them.”
- “I stopped playing Klondike as the ads were over the top, but at least that doesn't lag too.”
- “I would give it a better review, but I've had problems with the app from the start with no resolution but emails of BS. The coins will never really add up for the buildings you have to build; they don't give you ways to obtain most of the materials you need to complete the tasks without buying gems. It was great; now it's just collecting space on my phone. All these games are just greedy for money and wear you out with ads that are lies about other games.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the energy system and resource management tedious, leading to frustration in progression. While some appreciate the game's graphics and adventure elements, the need to wait for energy regeneration and the limited farming plots detract from the overall experience, often pushing players towards microtransactions to advance. Despite these issues, some users still find enjoyment in the gameplay, describing it as a fun and addictive farming adventure.
- “It didn't give me more than about 10 minutes of play time before I was stuck waiting for more energy to generate (and that's after using up resources to get more energy; the same resources I had to spend a whole lot of energy farming for, which I didn't do because it would have been time-consuming and counterproductive).”
- “After a few days or so, it becomes incredibly tedious to progress unless you are willing to buy your way forward.”
- “Very nice game; however, I am getting annoyed with the energy system in the game as well. This is a farming game, why so few farm plots?”
