  • monetization
    85 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to misleading claims about ad removal purchases that do not effectively eliminate ads. Many players report that despite paying for options to disable ads, they continue to encounter them frequently, leading to frustration and a perception of deceptive practices. While some users appreciate the optional nature of ads for bonuses, the overall sentiment indicates that the monetization strategy detracts from the gameplay experience.

    • “No purchase needed to unlock everything (although no ads is looking pretty nice right now), just grind and learn synergies and use cards properly to win.”
    • “No ads, no pay to play.”
    • “Some monetization, but it's not really in your face.”
    • “3 stars for overpriced in-app purchases.”
    • “$20 for 'complete removal' of ads on top of prior purchases, which did not appear as an option to purchase until several days into playing, and only after purchasing the $15 option.”
    • “I bought the option to disable ads but it does nothing, I'm still getting ads for everything.”
  • music
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received widespread acclaim for its excellent, gritty, and immersive qualities, often compared to industrial metal and retro vibes reminiscent of classic titles like Doom and Quake. Reviewers appreciate the soundtrack's ability to enhance the game's intense atmosphere, with many describing it as creepy, chaotic, and perfectly aligned with the game's aesthetic. However, some players noted issues with sound balance, suggesting that the music can overpower sound effects, and there were concerns about the use of music from other games in promotional materials.
