The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads required to access rewards and progress. Many players express frustration over the necessity to watch ads for nearly every action, including claiming rewards from the battle pass and opening chests, leading to a gameplay experience that feels more like watching ads than playing. While some users acknowledge the need for ads in free-to-play games, they argue that the current implementation is excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment, with calls for more balanced monetization options, such as a one-time purchase to remove ads.
“One thing they do very well is no ads.”
“No ads, no pay to win, pure skill.”
“It's a very good game and not that focused on monetization like most mobile games.”
“The amount of ads is insane... the developers need to add something so we can buy and remove the ads.”
“What started off as a really good game is getting progressively worse as the makers force you to either spend lots of money or waste lots of time watching ads to be able to remain competitive.”
“You cannot play without ads.”

Reviews highlight a significant divide in player experiences regarding grinding. Many players find the grinding tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the pay-to-win mechanics and excessive ad interruptions, which detract from the enjoyment of gameplay. Conversely, some players appreciate the grinding aspect as a means to earn rewards and customize their experience, though they still desire a more streamlined progression system.
“This is a pay to win game; you'll only have fun if you shell out tons of cash. For a few days, it was fun, especially grinding for the battle pass, but after that, the abysmal matchmaking just makes the game into a slog. 0/10 would not recommend downloading.”
“If I have to watch ads for each and every reward that I grinded for, then what's the point of grinding in the first place for the rewards???”
“Tedious and repetitive.”
