The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback due to the excessive number of ads, which many players find intrusive and frustrating. While there is an option to purchase an ad-free experience, players feel that the game is heavily designed around monetization, with frequent prompts for in-app purchases and microtransactions that detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite some acknowledging the game's fun elements, the pervasive ads and the perception of it being a "cash grab" significantly mar the experience.

- “Ah, if you really like this game, just buy the no-ads option.”
- “As well as things like daily prizes and such would increase the reason to spend more on in-app purchases.”
- “But the amount of ads in this game is ridiculous!”
- “This would be such a fun game if it wasn't such a cash grab.”
- “The game is fun, but the excessive ads just make my skin crawl in frustration.”

The gameplay of this game has been described as a mix of familiar mechanics from "Archero" with notable improvements, including a better class system, character diversity, and unique abilities for each character.

Overall, the game offers a fun experience with varied gameplay, though it still has room for improvement in terms of mechanics and graphics.

- “Great game, I feel like it's less mechanically intensive, but a lot of fun with the variety in gameplay it offers compared to other games in this genre.”

- “The targeting mechanic is bad with slow animation that sometimes makes the shot not register.”
- “A straight ripoff of Archero with worse controls and gameplay.”
