monetization

The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized for featuring misleading advertisements and demos that are presented as full games, which detracts from the visibility of actual game developers. This practice not only confuses players but also undermines the integrity of the platform by allowing non-game software to occupy space meant for complete gaming experiences. Overall, the monetization strategy appears to prioritize visibility over clarity, leading to player frustration.
- “It's a feature-locked advertisement/demo for a mapmaking/tabletop assistant software application... so it's an advertisement, not a complete product, for something that isn't even a game in the first place.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game.”

The graphics in the game have received high praise for their impressive effects and aesthetic versatility, particularly in the complete edition, which offers diverse styles like sci-fi and steampunk.
