The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads. Players report being bombarded with ads after nearly every level, often spending more time watching ads than actually playing the game. Many users express frustration over the lack of an option to pay for an ad-free experience, with some suggesting that the game feels more like an advertisement platform than a playable game. Overall, while the gameplay itself is often praised, the intrusive and frequent ads significantly detract from the overall experience.
“Great game and all, no ads. Also, the game has a bug that if you stand in the smoke, the villains are shooting me. Please fix this problem.”
“Amazing game! I love it because there are no ads, and it's so easy to control.”
“This game is really easy because there are no ads when you turn off your internet.”
“The sheer number of ads in this game is ridiculous.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players noting that it feels repetitive and formulaic. Users express a desire for a more compelling narrative to accompany the missions, as well as varied gameplay elements to enhance the overall experience. The overwhelming presence of ads further detracts from the enjoyment, making it difficult for players to immerse themselves in the game.
“It would also be cool if there's a chance some missions will have challenges applied to them such as not being allowed to be seen.”
“Adding a story mode would be a decent way to revive the game, and could add a nice thing for players to play.”
“The game is good and fun... maybe if the devs added a story, or a reason you're killing these guys, it would be better.”
“The game was kinda fun but what everyone is complaining about is true, way too little gameplay and way too many ads need to find a much better balance, have to watch an ad to start the mission then you get prompted to watch an ad for better equipment then you do the level in about 1 minute and have to watch an ad that takes you to a floor where you beat it in a minute or less to, you guessed it, watch an ad.”
“It feels like the typical cash grab game where they entice you to pay money to remove ads, otherwise you are forced to watch them several times a mission.”
“The missions are like 20 seconds long and after each one there is an ad; it's just too much to enjoy it.”
