Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the slow progression in unlocking characters, skills, and items. The excessive clicking required to open chests and the lack of clear indicators or timers contribute to a sense of annoyance, making the overall experience feel overly grindy. While some players acknowledge that the rest of the game is enjoyable, the grinding detracts from their overall enjoyment.
“No clue, no timers anywhere or any indication. Chests really need to be clicked 1 time to open, but as it is, like 8 or 10 clicks are required, which is super annoying. The rest of the game seems okay so far, but it feels a bit grindy to get gems to upgrade things, so I'm not very far yet, I don't think.”
“Unlike every other auto-battler out there, you have to unlock all the characters, skills, and items slowly by grinding, which is not very fun.”
“At that point, it is just a matter of grinding until your stuff is better than their stuff.”

The gameplay is engaging and interactive, typical of clicker and idle games, but requires active participation rather than allowing players to run it passively in the background. Overall, it has received a rating of 7/10.
“Mechanically, it is as interactive as most clicker/idle games, but you can't just run it in the background and forget about it either.”
