The monetization aspect of the game has drawn significant criticism for its misleading advertising, which often showcases a small, engaging part of the gameplay while the actual game is primarily a resource management or base-building experience. Many users express frustration over the bait-and-switch nature of the ads, which do not accurately represent the game's content, leading to disappointment and accusations of deceptive marketing practices. However, some players appreciate the lack of intrusive ads and excessive in-app purchases, noting that the game is enjoyable despite its misleading promotion.
“However, what has taken me aback, pleasantly so, to date there have been no ads.”
“No ads or begging for money to advance.”
“First top ups are expensive for not a ton of loot, but, since there are no ads and I'm so freakin' entertained, I bought the $20 first top up thingy.”
“The ads are totally misleading; admittedly what they show is in the game, but it's such a small minor part of the game.”
“Not what the ads displayed. This is just another uninspired base builder designed to drain your wallet after a certain level paywall.”
“Misleading ads, the sharpshooter part of the game that's advertised is way too easy (you can't fail) and looks like it was cobbled onto the real game, which is empire building.”
