The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized, with players noting that while there are minimal ads, significant in-app purchases are required to progress and upgrade effectively. Users express frustration over the high costs of upgrades and the limited rewards from watching ads, leading to a feeling that the game is designed to push players towards spending real money. Overall, the monetization model is seen as a barrier to enjoyment and progression.
- “The game has a great story and is well put together, but the monetization is a bit steep. You need to make in-app purchases to upgrade anything, and it can take a long time to progress without spending money.”
- “I appreciate the game's design, but the monetization model feels excessive. Upgrading takes forever unless you're willing to invest real cash.”
- “While I enjoy the gameplay, the monetization aspect is frustrating. It requires frequent in-app purchases to keep up with upgrades, making it hard to progress without spending money.”
- “There is a limited number of ads you can watch a day (they have a timer, and they want you to pay very early in the game).”
- “It's good but the items are too expensive and you can only get a little even from ads, only 300... I can't upgrade anything because of the prices. To upgrade, you need to spend real money.”
- “I really enjoyed the game and the story is well put together, but it's too expensive. You have to make in-app purchases to upgrade anything, and it takes forever if you don't have the cash.”
