βThis game is amazing, the sound, the graphics, and the controls are awesome. 5/5.β

The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing after every level and sometimes even during missions. Many players express frustration over the intrusive nature of these ads, which detracts from the overall experience, while some suggest that in-app purchases should be more transparent and less aggressive. Despite the option to pay for an ad-free experience, the consensus is that the current ad frequency and placement negatively impact enjoyment and gameplay fluidity.
βJust pay once and the whole game is yours without predatory monetization.β
βD, you can even play and have fun with it without in-app purchases, and as a gamer I definitely give you props for that.β
βYes, much better after an in-game purchase; I did not know it was possible to get rid of the ads that way.β
βThe game has changed from the earlier versions... now I can't even buy the guns and have to rely on buying chests to get the guns... the game has become more oriented towards money... lots of ads... please bring back the gun shop... that was a major feature which made this game worthy of 5 stars... but for now only giving 3 stars.β
βThe ads after each level paired with the fuel system just ruins it.β
βThis game, while not bad itself, has one major issue... the fact it shoves video ads down your throat after virtually every mission you do.β

The game's story is generally perceived as engaging but notably short, with many players expressing a desire for more missions and narrative depth. While the gameplay offers a variety of missions and challenges, the repetitive nature of side missions and the lack of substantial story progression detract from the overall experience. Players appreciate the potential for a richer storyline and additional content, hoping for future updates to expand the game's narrative scope.
βThe story is quite good, weapons are diverse but balanced, and tons of replay value.β
βI love this game, it's so fun and it's got a good story!β
βThis is an awesome game... I request to the whole team to develop a new version with a nice and long story and new features.β
βPerhaps the biggest issue is the lack of sufficient story levels, which makes the game quite short. Also, getting the power generators is hard compared to the price of equipment we can get for them.β
βVery impressive game, but it needs more updates because the story mode is so short and needs less cost on guns. I have played Alien Shooter 2 on PC, and it also has less story; it needs more characters as well.β
βGame was great when I first started playing, but now the missions are way too difficult. Even the green-colored 'easy' rated missions are unbeatable. I think the game is rigged to where if you start farming money, its difficulty skyrockets.β

βThis game has been ruined by these greedy devs; instead of levels and grinding to get items, it's loot boxes.β
βFeels like I'm grinding constantly and I've still got crap guns and armor (thankfully ammo is no problem).β
βGame was great when I first started playing, but now the missions are way too difficult. Even the green-colored 'easy' rated missions are unbeatable; I think the game is rigged to where if you start farming money, its difficulty skyrockets.β
