The monetization in this game has been widely criticized as aggressive and predatory, with many reviewers labeling it a "cash grab" aimed particularly at children. While some players note that it is possible to progress without spending money, the constant push for in-game purchases and the high prices for items detract from the overall experience. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as a significant barrier to enjoyment, reminiscent of typical mobile games with heavy reliance on microtransactions.
