The game features a single-purchase model with no microtransactions or ads, providing a seamless experience for players. Developers have effectively replaced potential monetization pitfalls with bonuses that ensure enjoyable and steady progress, making it a satisfying time killer. Overall, the monetization approach has been well-received, enhancing the game's fun factor.
- “Imagine my joy when I discovered that the game was not only available on Steam, but available as a single-purchase game with no microtransactions.”
- “The removal of microtransactions might be a problem if they were just 'taken away' - for example, a lot of idle games give you very slow progress without the little purchases, so if you were to just 'remove' those purchases, you would barely make any progress at all.”
- “The developers of War Tortoise made sure this would not happen with this game - yes, they took away all those little microtransactions, but in their place they put a bunch of little bonuses, so the progress isn't painfully slow.”
- “As stated, all the microtransactions are gone, and the developers put a lot of work into making it work around that concept.”
