The game's monetization strategy appears to have prioritized development quality over marketing, resulting in a polished tutorial but limited player engagement due to a lack of advertising and a non-free price point. This combination may hinder its ability to attract a larger player base.
“Clearly a ton of budget went into the game itself by how nice the tutorial is, but clearly no budget went into advertising because every time I have opened the game so far, there have been 0 players online in NA and less than a dozen in EU.”
“Sadly, without much advertisement and the game not being free, this can be the reason why there are not enough players.”
