The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ad placements, with players reporting multiple ads before and after missions, as well as during gameplay. Many users express frustration that the frequency and length of ads significantly detract from the overall enjoyment of the game, leading to a poor user experience. While some players suggest turning off Wi-Fi to avoid ads, the overwhelming consensus is that the monetization approach is a major flaw that overshadows the game's potential.

“Just turn off mobile data to get no ads.”
“Turn off your internet and mobile data, and wow, no ads.”

“You have 3 ads before you start any mission and another 2-3 ads after you beat a mission.”
“Do not install; you will spend twice as much time going through ads as you will actually playing the game. 5 minutes in and I gave up!”
