The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant issues such as ads that do not close, leading to game crashes and loss of progress. While the remastered version has reportedly reduced the frequency of ads and microtransactions, many users still face problems with in-app purchases not functioning as intended, particularly those who paid to remove ads. Overall, while some players appreciate the minimal ads and enjoy the game, others express frustration over the monetization system and its impact on gameplay.
“I would be more inclined to leave a higher score, but when I decided to support the game and pay for the no ads, it charged me money without giving me the benefits.”
“I've been waiting on them to respond to a support email to restore my no ads I purchased back in September. I love the game, but I wish this was easier to get the stuff I paid for when I deleted my account to start over.”
“Can we please make good simple games without having to pay for no ads?”
“The original had a lot of microtransactions and ads splattered across the entire game.”
“Some ads make my screen black without the possibility to return back, which leads to reopening the game (this is very bad because teleport costs a little and watching an ad which blocks the game and reopens again to start from base leads better not to watch ads at all).”
“Very laggy and everything attacks me which results in me not being able to progress; it's like this game just wants you to keep watching ads just to heal your pets that die seconds after healing, also the alpha cooldown is ridiculous and you have to watch ads to also revive them.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting severe bugs, frequent crashes, and significant lag that hinder gameplay. Many players experience issues such as freezing screens, loading errors, and persistent glitches, leading to frustration and a sense that the game is not worth the time investment. While some acknowledge the game's potential, the overwhelming consensus is that its current state is plagued by instability.
“Not worth it if the glitches are going to cost me that much time and effort.”
“Shame it's buggy as heck, I can't even get past leaving the village for the first time due to an 'unknown error, returns to title screen' message which then promptly dumps me back to the loading screen every single time I try to play. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing; overall, a total waste of time.”
“However, I can't even play the game; it's too laggy and sometimes it even freezes my screen for a long time or completely crashes my phone.”

Players note that the game involves significant grinding, particularly to progress through the first map, which can take about a week to reach the first boss. However, many appreciate that it is not pay-to-win, making the grinding feel more rewarding and engaging. Overall, the game's addictive nature and appealing art style contribute positively to the grinding experience, despite concerns about the developer's commitment to future content.
“I played a beta version and I know there is a second world, but the dev just stopped caring about this game long ago and hasn't brought it out when the first map only takes a week of grinding to get by the first boss.”
“This game is really addicting with nice art that gives me Don't Starve Together vibes. I hope it doesn't go the same way as the old game, which was grindy and pay-to-win.”
“Good game, lots of grinding.”
