Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a significant drawback, noting that while the initial gameplay is enjoyable, it quickly becomes repetitive and tedious after a few hours. Many reviewers express frustration with the slow pace of rewards and the high costs of upgrades, which necessitate extensive grinding to progress. Overall, the game may appeal to those who enjoy farming mechanics, but the grind can detract from the overall experience for others.
“This is a fun game for the first 20-30 minutes, and it gets extremely grindy after that.”
“The main issue is the grinding required to progress; expect to do a lot of it. Rewards in this game come at a snail's pace.”
“Also, the upgrade costs later on seem to be too high, which, in addition to what I said above, makes the pace of the game very slow because any further improvements (which aren't even obvious) would require a fair bit of grinding.”
