The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being heavily focused on encouraging players to spend money, often through misleading advertisements that promise more than what is delivered in-game. Many users describe the in-app purchases as overpriced and indicative of a cash grab mentality, with repetitive events and reduced rewards further exacerbating the issue. While some players find the game enjoyable and manageable without spending, the overwhelming presence of ads and aggressive monetization tactics have led to significant dissatisfaction among the community.
- “In-app purchases are ridiculously expensive, but that's because you don't really need them.”
- “Fun game, seems to really be a free-to-play game. I haven't seen any bullying from the pay players, as there are in-app purchases, so you can spend money if you want to. It's easy to level up too; I started playing a day ago and I'm already level 30!”
- “There are in-game purchases, for sure, but you actually get some pretty decent, permanent perks from a shockingly low price point.”
- “The game is definitely designed around several monetization systems geared toward creating the impulse to spend money in order to keep playing/advancing/growing.”
- “Gradually reduced prize output on different events over time, same rewards over and over, and 'new' event is just a blatant cash grab that is supposed to be random, but obviously isn't.”
- “Typical idle game with cash grab schemes: new server spamming, events that force spending,... the art style is quite decent but the character skills are the exact same as other idle games... if you want an app to throw money at then this is definitely the one for you.”

- “Easy fun, lots of players to choose from, easy to play, find items and resources, not hard to upgrade your heroes, enjoying the scenes in cinematic, nice storyline.”
- “Great artwork, no story; great to kill time, pay to develop faster, not necessarily to win even if you pay, too many servers at once so it suffers from lack of players... not much to offer once you reach level 60, same repetitive cycle.”
- “Story seems non-existent.”
- “First day playing and it looks good... no story mode, so it's boring.”

- “Leveling heroes becomes lengthy and tedious around level 60, and continuing in the campaign leads to a plateau effect.”
- “Rewards don't equal the level at all; you end up grinding for weeks to get past level 100 because it can really only be done with money.”
