The monetization strategy of the game is criticized as a cash grab, with users expressing frustration over the reliance on achievement spam to encourage playtime for card unlocking, especially in light of Steam's policies.
“This really isn't worthy of being called a game; it's pretty much a cash grab. Thanks to Steam no longer allowing games with cards that aren't being played, achievement spam gets put in them to keep people playing long enough to unlock cards.”
“The monetization in this game is excessive and feels exploitative. It seems like every feature is locked behind a paywall, making it frustrating for players who don't want to spend extra money.”
“I was disappointed to find that the game is heavily focused on microtransactions. It feels like the developers prioritized profit over player experience.”
