The monetization model of the game features optional ads that can be completely removed for a fee, with in-game item prices generally considered fair. However, players express frustration over the lengthy ads and the difficulty in earning in-game currency, which can lead to a reliance on watching ads or making purchases for upgrades. While there are no forced ads, the overall monetization strategy is seen as manipulative, with some players feeling it detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
- “The prices for in-app purchases are much more reasonable than in some of these other vertical shooter apps.”
- “However, the ads are very long and the game is a bit too stingy - gold coins that are used to upgrade the starfighters are difficult to earn.”
- “It's alright, the game is fun and all but falls into the trap of mobile gaming with having too many things to upgrade and too many optional ads (with ad removal costing $10).”
- “Paid $4.99 to remove ads only to find that sometimes the gold I earn from some missions doesn't get rewarded!”
