The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, which players find intrusive and frustrating, especially when they cannot close ads after watching them to earn rewards. While some users appreciate the free-to-play model, the overwhelming number of ads and the high cost of in-game currency for premium content detract from the overall experience, leading to dissatisfaction. Many players express a desire for a more balanced approach to ad frequency and reward systems.
“Fun game and engaging storyline, the only downside is that you have to watch a lot of ads to get gems to progress if you want more than a normal ending.”
“I had given it 5 stars initially but after the recent update whenever I try to get free gems from watching ads, I can't close the ads after watching them.”
“Just a minefield of ads plus all the decent options of dialogue are locked behind a huge amount of diamonds, so it's not even worth it, to be honest.”
