The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users criticizing the excessive number of ads, intrusive micro-transactions, and technical issues such as crashes linked to ad viewing. Players feel pressured to spend money to progress, as the game frequently halts progress and offers constant advertisements for in-game purchases, detracting from the overall experience.
“Absolutely dreadful, this game has no sense of what an idle game is, heavily pushes micro-transactions with advertisements for 'deals' that never leave the side of your screen and slows the game to a halt as early as level 3 so you are pressured to buy chests and gems to progress.”
“Original review: 1 star game reset my progress in an event ~1.5 hours before it finished after I had made progress over the previous three days. I contacted in-game support and they did not respond for 40+ minutes, which is when I gave up on a response and posted this review. Other than the event problem, I had few issues - mainly with the ads for rewards not closing, causing me to restart the app and lose the reward.”
“And way too many ads.”
