The monetization aspect of the game is criticized as a cash grab, with users feeling that the execution is messy and the gameplay experience is frustratingly bleak. Despite a solid concept, the overall impression is that the game prioritizes profit over quality, leading to a recommendation against spending money on it.
“Don't waste your money, this is a cash grab.”
“The concept is solid (Diablo-skinned horde survivors is a fun idea) but somehow the messy presentation, the death of your playable roster as you move through the campaign is annoying and feels pointlessly bleak, and just like this was a cash grab at chasing the coattails of a more successful yet simple concept.”

The story mode is notably brief, lasting only 20-30 minutes, after which players unlock an endless mode that restricts character choices to those not used in the main story. This abrupt transition and limited character availability have left some players feeling frustrated and underwhelmed by the narrative experience.
“After 20-30 minutes, you're told the story is done, and you unlock endless mode.”
