The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads during gameplay, which is a refreshing change from typical free-to-play models. However, concerns about predatory microtransactions and the potential for the game to feel like a cash grab persist, as players note the presence of in-app purchases and the grind required for free-to-play users. Overall, while the game delivers on its advertised gameplay, the monetization strategies may still deter some players.
- “The game is enjoyable, there are no ads and the structure is simple, fun to play casually.”
- “Very addictive and no need to pay or, most importantly, there are no ads!!!”
- “Fun, easy to pick up, no ads, and the monetization isn't ridiculous amounts so far and unneeded to progress and have fun.”
- “The actual gameplay loop from the ads is remarkably different; shorter runs, no limitless mode, and very grindy for free-to-play to obtain anybody.”
- “The game progress is fast until level 9, then like most games it stops and you are bombarded with offers of in-app purchases.”
- “The monetization is extreme—getting one special character can cost over $1,000, and you need multiple copies to make them viable.”

- “Finally, a game not chalk full of ads and it is actually based off the ad shown for gameplay.”
- “Gameplay can be fun; unfortunately, the main draw for me was shooting and dodging oncoming enemies, and that's only a tiny part of the gameplay.”
- “The actual gameplay loop from the ads is remarkably different; shorter runs, no limitless mode, and very grindy for free-to-play to obtain anybody.”
- “Buggy, boring, and overly monetized mess with terrible draw rates for gacha mechanics, the shallowest gameplay and repeated levels over and over again.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting severe performance issues, including lag, frequent crashes, and high battery consumption.

- “The game looks good, but the performance issues are significant. During cinematics, it's laggy and choppy, and sometimes the game just stops working mid-level. Even on low performance mode, it struggles despite having enough space and a good connection. I would keep playing if the game were better optimized.”
- “I genuinely enjoy this game, but my main issue is the performance. I know it's a 64-bit gacha game, but I'm using a phone with only 4GB of RAM. If possible, please make the game smoother.”
- “It could use a performance update, but the quality and gameplay are far beyond my initial expectations.”
- “Game is ridden with near-game-breaking bugs such as missing rewards, missing dungeon keys, account binding issues, etc. Performance/optimization is horrible.”
- “I don't know if it's because I played on a Galaxy S8, but this game was so pathetically optimized that I spent more time in the 10 minutes I played just watching slideshow cutscenes than actually experiencing the gameplay.”
- “Game is very poorly optimized, loads piece by piece, events lag and say you haven't finished things that you have already finished; incredibly frustrating.”

- “Just another idle/grinding mobile game where your decisions are irrelevant.”
