monetization
230 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
4% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 96% negative mentions
Users overwhelmingly criticize the game's monetization for excessive and frequent ads, often appearing after every mission or death, which disrupts gameplay and leads to frustration. While some appreciate optional ads for rewards and the availability of a paid no-ads option, many find the ad volume intrusive, repetitive, and a major detriment to the overall experience.
- “It's a really good app with almost no ads, which I like. You don't even need to buy an ad-free subscription, and I have been playing it for free with no bugs or glitches.”
- “This game is the best; you get no ads at all, and it is just really awesome.”
- “Very fun with no ads (not including watching an ad for coins).”
- “It's the worst thing that there are ads after every game I played which is very annoying.”
- “Way too many ads, literally one minute of ads for about 10-30 seconds of game time.”
- “The most stupidest game ever... they control you to the point you have to watch ads to go to the next level or unlock the next level.”
story
43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
23% positive mentions, 70% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions
The story aspect primarily revolves around missions that add interest and progressively increase in difficulty, rewarding players with coins and unlockable skins or trails. However, users note issues such as repetitive or unclear missions, excessive ads interrupting gameplay, and a paywall to skip challenging missions, which can hinder progression and enjoyment. Overall, while the missions enhance engagement, some players find certain tasks frustrating and desire more content variety.
- “I love that there are missions to complete, which get progressively harder and offer free rewards when completed.”
- “I actually really enjoy this game, and they give you missions to do to unlock trails.”
- “The missions make it interesting.”
- “I think that you should make it so when you've done a mission already, it should be completed because I've played Master Arena like 20 times and a mission asks me to play a game in Master's Arena again.”
- “I hate that we can't buy trailings and some missions are too easy; one time I got a mission to kill 5 players in Hell Arena, but my Hell Arena is not unlocked.”
- “I'm on mission 13 but I don't understand a word in it, so I can't get past it and I don't want to skip it using my money.”

4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

grinding
