The game's story is hindered by a frustrating paywall, as players are often required to purchase additional characters to progress beyond the initial missions. Many users express disappointment that only two characters are available for free, while some missions necessitate three, leading to a lack of accessibility for younger players. Overall, while the graphics and gameplay are praised, the reliance on in-app purchases for story progression detracts significantly from the experience.
“This game has more characters to play with and he likes it even more than the other Rescue Bots game.”
“Beautiful games for kids but the fact that you must do a purchase to finish the story is unpleasant.”
“Great game, but it sucks that you have to pay to continue the story.”
“Pay to play with no in-game option to advance past the first story.”
“Why do I need to pay for the other bots? Can't we just do a mission to obtain them or something? You need real money to complete the game for Christ's sake; it's a kids' game, it's not like kids have money.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many users expressing frustration over the excessive in-app purchases required to progress beyond the initial levels and the overwhelming presence of ads. Despite claims that purchasing would eliminate ads, players report that ads persist even after payment, leading to feelings of being misled and exploited. Overall, the game is perceived as a cash grab, particularly for a title aimed at children, with many users wishing for a more transparent and fair monetization model.

“Misleading, not a free game, and on top of it has ads.”
