The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing every few seconds and lasting up to 30 seconds. Many players feel that the frequency and length of these ads detract from the overall enjoyment of the game, with some expressing frustration over misleading claims regarding ad-free experiences after purchase. While some users still find the game enjoyable despite the ads, the consensus is that the monetization approach is excessively intrusive.
“This game is boring and so many ads every round I beat or lose and it's just boring. There's no events or anything; it's just a fighting game with ads, not really good.”
“Advertisements! I paid for the game for my son and it still has advertisements after it posted 'buy for no advertisements'... this is very sneaky and misleading.”
“Terrible! Can't even enjoy the game with all the ads.”
