The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being excessively aggressive, with numerous ads that are difficult to skip and a variety of paid options that do not fully eliminate ads. Players feel that the game employs a cash grab approach, requiring them to watch multiple ads for rewards and offering numerous microtransactions for power-ups, skins, and other items, which detracts from the overall experience.

- “Pay for the following things (each sold separately): - remove ads (doesn't remove all ads) - power ups (x2 atk / spd / mvmt spd, they basically slashed your stats in half to sell it back to you, what a joke) - paywall for: skin, pets - season pass for every type of game mode/progressions - microtransactions for gems and items (not as bad as the paywall, could still be 4-5 stars if it weren't for other issues).”
