The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to its heavy reliance on microtransactions, battle passes, and in-game ads. While some appreciate that purchases are primarily cosmetic and do not impact gameplay, others express frustration over the slow progression system and the perception of a "pay-to-win" model, particularly regarding character unlocks. Overall, the monetization practices are seen as excessive and detracting from the game's potential, with calls for better advertising and support from the developers.
- “There are in-game purchases, but they are purely cosmetic and not pay-to-win, which is why I play.”

- “Honestly, the game is way better than most free-to-play games and has fair monetization in my opinion.”
- “It's one of those games where you pay a bunch of money to get skins, gun wraps, in-game currency to buy stuff, these weird pack things, etc. It's also so annoying how there are ads for this game all over the internet, especially YouTube.”
- “The game has just turned into a cash grab title with its season passes with maybe a few decent skins which show the lack of care for the game's problems and focus on making as much money as possible before the game fully dies.”
- “This shooter-mtx amalgamation epitomizes the worst aspects of modern gaming, where gameplay takes a backseat to shameless monetization tactics.”

I think they should add more story bits because it has potential, just nothing has hooked me to replay this game. It's missing something (maybe free rewards or events? I don't know, it's something). It's worth trying out at least; it's like a mini Overwatch/COD/Apex clone.”
- “Graphics as smooth as my dance moves, story as deep as my pizza cravings.”
- “Comparative to others in its genre, Rogue Company offers engaging mechanics and impressive graphics, albeit with a somewhat lacking storyline.”
