    • “Each little mission only takes between 5 - 20 minutes.”

  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its amazing and catchy soundtracks, with some players enjoying it so much that they keep the game open just to listen. However, there are mixed feelings about the lack of in-game music, leading some to play their own instead.

    • “I love this game... why... the soundtracks are amazing! :D”
    • “Multiplayer doesn't work anymore and the code was a bit dodgy, but I just have it open for the music because it's really catchy!”
    • “The lack of in-game music is kind of odd, but I just play my own.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews; while some users report a performance drop of 10-15 fps with stutters, others, including those on lower-end hardware, have experienced smooth gameplay without issues. Additionally, the game restricts modding and the use of cheat engines, which may impact user experience.

    • “I have a somewhat low-performance Acer laptop and have had absolutely no issues in operating this game.”
    • “Prevents modding, cheat engine, and reduces performance by up to 10-15 fps with stutters.”
    • “The optimization is so poor that it makes the game unplayable on lower-end systems.”
    • “The game frequently drops frames and stutters, making it difficult to enjoy the experience.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game appears limited, with users noting that it is currently only available on iOS, and there is uncertainty regarding console versions, leaving PC players without access. This suggests a potential gap in availability and monetization strategy for broader platforms.

    • “The monetization model feels exploitative, with essential features locked behind paywalls that make it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
    • “I was disappointed to find that many of the game's best items and upgrades are only available through microtransactions, which feels unfair to players who don't want to spend more.”
    • “The constant push for in-game purchases disrupts the overall experience, making it feel more like a cash grab than a well-designed game.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and boring, especially at later levels where success often hinges on the unpredictable performance of AI allies rather than player strategy. This lack of engagement and strategic depth contributes to a frustrating experience.

    • “They start to feel tedious after a while, and at the later levels, winning is determined by your AI allies, who can be decent help or totally random.”
    • “The gameplay is boring, tedious, and has no strategic value.”
