The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with players reporting an overwhelming number of ads that are often mandatory for progression. Many users find the cost to remove ads—typically around $30—excessive compared to other games, leading to frustration over the reliance on ads for rewards and gameplay advancement. Overall, the game is perceived as heavily focused on monetization through ads, making it feel more like an ad-watching experience than an engaging game.

- “$30 for no ads and nearly everything is locked behind ads is really all you need to know.”
- “The no ads purchase is way too expensive.”
- “40-45 minutes out of 1 hour is watching ads.”
- “Excessive optional ads and bad monetization to get rid of them, and provides nothing truly special or unique as a game to justify it in an oversaturated idle RPG genre.”
- “You will spend more time watching ads than playing.”

grinding
9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game is heavily criticized for its excessive grinding, requiring players to engage in repetitive tasks across numerous stages with minimal rewards, making ad-based upgrades almost essential. Many users find the experience tedious, especially as progression becomes increasingly reliant on real money for better gear and skills, while the RNG mechanics for summoning higher-tier items add to the frustration. Overall, it appeals primarily to those who enjoy endless farming without a strong narrative.
- “However, it's extremely grindy and expensive upgrades kind of make ad rewards necessary, and even then, the effect it has is extremely minor.”
- “It turns into endless grinding through normal, hard, expert, and more stages, each with sub-stages 1-10.”
- “It's too grindy later in the game and you get stuck after passing dungeon level 20 if you don't pay real money. Not to mention trying to get higher gear, skills, or pets is way too RNG. At level 10 summons, it's only a 1% chance to get anything higher than purple gear, skills, or pets. I've been summoning only one type for a few days and got absolutely nothing more than green. So if you want to play this casually and not pay money, this game is not for you.”

- “It is good already; I love the music and the controls are easy. It's a good tap play to make the day go by. I can't wait for more.”

- “Freezes on ads and I have to restart the game every time, and I don't get the reward.”
- “Just started, but already having problems. Anytime I try to do any of the ads for gems or anything else, the game just freezes, and I have to close out and restart the app. Why add ads if they don't even work?”
