The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive requirement of watching ten ads to earn just one diamond, which many consider unreasonable. Players feel pressured to either endure a barrage of ads or spend real money on in-app purchases, leading to perceptions of the game as a cash grab that detracts from the overall enjoyment. While some appreciate the game's content, the aggressive monetization tactics have left many frustrated and disillusioned.
- “I'm okay with in-app purchases, but this app tends to advertise them pretty violently.”
- “This version is all about in-game purchases.”
- “In-app purchases to proceed after a certain point.”
- “I just don't like how I have to watch 10 ads in a row to get 1 diamond.”
- “The one star is because you have to watch 10 ads just to receive 1 diamond. I know you rely on ads to keep the game free, but 10 ads for just 1 diamond is ridiculous.”
- “The game is fun, but it's too much of a cash grab for the company.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for being overly reliant on monetization, with many quests tied to social media and requiring real money for progression. Players express frustration over unattainable mission objectives and a lack of meaningful challenges, leading to a feeling of being forced to spend money rather than enjoying the gameplay. While some appreciate the organic unlocking of buildings and the unique features, the overall sentiment leans towards a desire for a more balanced and engaging quest system.
- “I like how you can organically unlock new buildings by completing missions and the truck routing feature is unique.”
- “Best city builder I've ever played, but not getting any more at all completely stopped me from buying Big Ben and getting new quests after it.”
- “A lot of quests to follow and things to build.”
- “We just really miss the other game you had with the actual level to level missions that actually provided challenges and not just a 'pay to progress' simulator.”
- “Some mission objectives are unattainable, forcing users to make unreasonable purchases.”
- “Way too many missions and buttons involving Facebook, too little energy, and too many things that cost diamonds (including expanding) without enough ways to get diamonds except spamming my Facebook account.”
