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.
