The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, even after purchasing the ad-free version. While some users appreciate the option to pay for ad removal and find the overall ad presence reasonable compared to other mobile games, others feel that the game relies too heavily on ads for rewards and progression, leading to a diminished gameplay experience. Additionally, concerns about inappropriate ad content and technical issues related to ad viewing have been noted, impacting overall satisfaction.
- “In-app purchases are required for difficulty levels above easy. Each decision you make dictates your probability of success, as each action will cost you something, whether it be eco points, which you desperately need throughout the whole game, or loyalty points, which help you get countries to do what you want or need them to do to progress further.”
- “Although it is very calming to play, I'm hoping most donations and microtransactions go to the WWF or other charities.”
- “It's a fun game, but don't buy the no ads option, because you still have to watch ads.”
- “Game was fun until the devs started flooding it with ads (literally every single time you exit the upgrades menu), also on hard difficulty it seems that unless you're watching more ads for rewards, you're unlikely to win.”
- “I paid for the premium version of the game and still get ads, and on top of that I have to uninstall and reinstall the game every single time I want to play it because the game crashes every time I try to start a game.”
- “I purchased ad removal and still there are ads.”
