The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, primarily due to an overwhelming number of ads that players must close before accessing gameplay, often totaling 10-15 ads per session. Many users express frustration over misleading advertisements that do not accurately represent the game, alongside a "pay-to-win" model that necessitates in-game purchases to progress effectively. While some players appreciate the absence of external ads during gameplay, the internal promotional ads for in-game purchases are seen as excessive and intrusive, detracting from the overall experience.
- “No ads, no pay to win, you can get better things by just playing consistently.”
- “Really good game, no ads, well thought out upgrade and resource systems, loads of stuff to do and looks good.”
- “So far very enjoyable, playable without spending money on in-app purchases.”
- “The game is somewhat fun but: 1) it is nothing like the ads depicted 2) it is very definitely 'pay to win', in truth it is more like 'pay to break even' 3) the rankings of various heroes are way out of proportion to their actual abilities, I regularly lose fights where I have a 2500 point 'advantage' over my foes 4) if you don't include a color in your team, you are sure to get mostly that color tiles... I simply can't recommend this game if you don't have hundreds of dollars to blow on it.”
- “Every time I start the game, I am bombarded with 9 (nine) suggested microtransactions, which is beyond hilarious.”
- “The game is completely different than it was shown in ads.”
