Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, particularly after the initial enjoyable hours, with many noting that progression becomes slow and tedious. The need for significant grinding to earn rewards and upgrades, especially at higher levels, detracts from the overall experience, leading to feelings of frustration and repetitiveness. While some see potential in the game, the grind-heavy mechanics may limit its long-term appeal for many players.
“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.”
