The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of forced ads, while others criticize the reliance on optional ads for progression and the high cost of subscription services to remove ads. Some users find the ad experience intrusive and deceptive, leading to frustration, especially with the frequent need to restart the game due to ad issues. Overall, while the game offers a fun experience, the monetization model, particularly the subscription for ad removal, is viewed as excessive by many players.
“Microtransactions and multiple 'VIP' passes available to purchase.”
“It's identical to every other game like it, except for one thing: instead of paying once to get rid of all ads, having no ads is part of a weekly subscription service.”
“$5 a week for no ads.”
“Events are kind of difficult on free; you need to watch ads, get spins, and get lucky with card drops to achieve completion.”
“So, I canceled the VIP, and now the stuff I had bought the game for, I have ads again.”
“Wow - first game I have ever played that has forced 60-second ads - even then it's 60 seconds to get to another 15-second ad to get to a final 5-second ad before being able to close with a reward - never thought I would feel nostalgic for 30-second ads - what a horrible direction all our games are going.”

The gameplay is generally well-received for its interesting mechanics and graphics, but it suffers from frustrating automation requirements and connectivity issues that can lead to lost progress.

Overall, while there are positive aspects, many users express dissatisfaction with certain game mechanics and the potential for frustration.
“The main gameplay is great!”
“The gameplay is interesting, the ads are done almost right.”
“Just started, but the gameplay and graphics are great.”
“But this game uses the annoying and scummy mechanic of automation requiring a manager of a certain level.”
“The game itself is pretty good, but then it kept saying I had an issue with my internet connection (I didn't). Then I reinstalled the game and lost all of my progress, so yeah, that's about 6 months of gameplay gone.”
“I really hate these cash grab, wear-your-patience-down type games until you pay or uninstall. The best way to win them is to uninstall it, because wasting time could be spent playing a much better game than bashing an object until it breaks. Thrilling gameplay, mate!”
