The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the overwhelming number of ads and the prevalence of in-app purchases. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, others feel that the ads are intrusive and disrupt gameplay, often leading to a "pay-to-win" experience.

“The game constantly pushes ads and in-game purchases on you and blocks your progress if you ignore them.”

“Overall this is a slow and tedious game, where every session takes 5 to 20 minutes to maybe get one piece of equipment.”
“It started off as a great game, but after playing for a week you can't realistically make progress without either tons of grinding to level up parts or pay real money.”

“After a while, the main mission changed from a seemingly impossible 10-boss challenge to something else.”
