The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism for its misleading advertisements and excessive ad frequency, leading many players to feel deceived about the actual gameplay. While some users report being able to play without ads or spending money, the general consensus is that the game often requires financial investment to progress meaningfully, and the gameplay does not align with what is portrayed in the ads. Overall, players express frustration over the deceptive marketing tactics and the prevalence of ads, which detracts from the gaming experience.
“This game has no ads (I swear on everything I love), and the community is great.”
“It's an awesome game, no ads, and you don't have to drop tons of cash to advance (so far at level 9).”
“No ads, lots of purchase options available but doesn't feel forced like most other games.”
“Too many ads; gamers want to play games, not watch ads. Either get rid of most of the ads or get rid of your players: you decide. I'm going to tell everyone to avoid online games because all they will be doing is watching ads more than playing the actual game. This is totally unacceptable. You want more players? Get rid of the ads.”
“The ads and promotional shots are misleading. You think you're installing a game where you just destroy boats, but it's just another strategy pay-to-win game.”
“Ads are horrifically misleading; the game is just a generic base builder where you click and wait, being abused by people spending thousands on this war game.”
