The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, who describe it as overly aggressive and reminiscent of a cash grab. Players are frustrated by the frequent and intrusive ads, which disrupt gameplay and often fail to provide promised rewards, alongside high prices for in-app purchases that make progression feel nearly impossible without spending money. Many reviews highlight a shift towards a "pay-to-win" model, diminishing the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “But there's a problem: while I understand it's a free game and microtransactions are a necessity for free games to actually make any profit, gold is extremely difficult to acquire for something that's so necessary.”
- “Shame microtransactions are kind of the only way to get the really good bots and level them up unless you really want to devote all your time into this game.”
- “I love this game; this deserves five stars except for the fact that the in-app purchases are incredibly expensive and what you get for spending that much money is horrible.”
- “Huge downfall, and the devs are going out of their way to push microtransactions onto players.”
- “Not to mention how limiting the game is with regard to its energy system, forcing you to either watch ads, pay money, or wait 1 hour for your energy to refill just to play for 5 minutes then run out of energy.”
- “But as all free-to-play games go, this is also marred by the over-the-top microtransactions and the odd online matchmaking system that pairs you against higher tier and tougher bots that you are forced to use boosts to crawl yourself to victory.”
