The monetization in the game is heavily criticized for being intrusive and aggressive, with frequent ads and a strong push towards in-game purchases that create a frustrating grind for players. Many users report that watching ads is often required for basic progression, but the rewards are minimal and the experience is marred by crashes and loading issues. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as a cash grab that detracts from the game's potential enjoyment.

“Was hooked from the intro alone, humor and lots to do with no ads being pushed in your face.”
“You can play the game for free but everything is crazy expensive in-app purchases, way overpriced and you get a speed boost by the monthly pack.”
“Progress appears to be set to push you towards in-game purchases; otherwise, it's a very slow and boring grind.”
“Good game ruined by greedy microtransactions.”
“Game has potential, but the monetization is beyond disgusting.”

“This is an awesome game!
