Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to slow map navigation and repetitive gameplay. While the concept of an RPG where enemies grow stronger over time is intriguing, many feel that the execution leads to a lack of motivation to continue playing.
- “The premise of an RPG where the enemy gets stronger over time and you have to make yourself strong enough to defeat them in time is interesting. I wish we had more games that explored that idea, but the basic gameplay of Apocalich is so tedious I don't even want to keep playing it, regardless of how well it manages the balance of making yourself stronger in time.”
