grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players note that it is possible to complete the game without extensive grinding, but many find the process of earning cash through 1v1 battles to be time-consuming. There are calls for increased drop rates for premium items and suggestions for additional content, such as a challenging chapter 2, to enhance player engagement and potentially attract more users.
- “I've already beaten the storyline, and grinding in 1v1 for cash to buy upgrades takes too long. Please increase the drop rates for premium; it takes hours to find someone to fight online. Perhaps it might give players an incentive to buy premium. It might be pay-to-win, but I, the consumer, don't care. Also, the story needs a chapter 2, the aftermath of chapter 1, basically fighting super enemies, an optional storyline due to it being difficult. Maybe the difficulty will bring in more players.”
