The monetization aspect of Soulcraft has drawn significant criticism, as it appears to be a mobile game designed around a pay-to-win model that has been poorly adapted for PC. While the removal of microtransactions has led to an abundance of in-game currency, players still feel the grind is excessive and reminiscent of its original cash grab intentions. Reviewers suggest that the game would benefit from a free-to-play model with optional microtransactions to enhance the experience rather than hinder it.
- “The real purpose of the game would have been to goad you into spending money on currency and resources... with the microtransactions taken away, the game now just gives you those in spades.”
- “Put it up for free and enable microtransactions to those who want to advance further or faster into the game.”
- “Either keep your game free to play with microtransactions which other Steam games do or develop the PC version in such a way that the mobile paywall doesn’t negatively impact your PC players.”
- “Soulcraft is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile developers. This is a nasty, microtransaction-infested cash shop pay-to-win mobile app.”
- “The biggest problem is the entire game appears to have been designed around grinding and using microtransactions to lessen the grueling grind.”
- “The big issue is that this game was designed for microtransactions and it has been released on PC as it was, but without the microtransaction system.”

Overall, opinions are mixed, with some considering it worth the time invested.
- “The biggest problem is the entire game appears to have been designed around grinding and using microtransactions to lessen the grueling grind.”
- “At first it was interesting, then it turned into farming.”
- “I would give it a 3 out of 5, and there is at least 10-20 hours of content and grinding, and the achievements, so it's worth it.”
