The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which often interrupt gameplay and are necessary for progression. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game is heavily skewed towards a pay-to-win model, making it difficult to progress without spending money or watching numerous ads. Overall, the consensus is that while the game is enjoyable, the intrusive ad system significantly detracts from the experience.
“The game doesn't feel like you have to buy microtransactions to progress but does push them constantly.”
“Even though the in-game purchases seem very appealing, the game itself is enjoyable without it. I really recommend this if you have self-control over your wallet.”
“Loved it and the best part is despite the in-app purchases, it's not a pay-to-win game.”
“The beat 'em up style works well with the aesthetic, but too much is behind a paywall and a grotesque ad system leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's silly to explain that having a set amount of ads you can watch before you're 'locked out' of the ad chests is not good game design.”
“It's a great game, but there are just too many ads, and it lags out being an offline game. I don't know.”
“The game itself is fine, but showing me ads after I finish a mission? The sheer amount of ads is a bit much.”

“The gameplay is smooth, gears and character customizations are really awesome.”

“This game is very good; I've been playing it for a while, but the thing that bugs me a lot is the very poor optimization and literally no graphics options. At least I can play at approximately 30fps in-game, but it's still very bad. Every time in the menu, it takes a while to load each window and tab, and it does take a damn second.”
“It's a great game overall, but the lag issue is the reason that keeps the game having low ratings. I think you guys need to work on these lag issues and improve the performance of the game.”
