The game's optimization has been heavily criticized, with players reporting severe performance issues, including excessive resource usage that strains high-end hardware like the RTX Titan. Additionally, some users have experienced game-breaking bugs, such as being put in infinite debt, rendering the game unplayable.
“Puts you in infinite debt and makes the game unplayable; also, the devs didn't do any optimization. It literally uses 50% of my RTX Titan.”
“The game is poorly optimized, causing frequent crashes and long loading times that ruin the experience.”
“Despite having a powerful PC, the game runs like a slideshow due to terrible optimization.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be overly complicated and tedious, indicating that it feels unfinished and in need of significant improvement. While there is potential for the game to be great, the current grinding experience detracts from its overall enjoyment.
“This game is overcomplicated and tedious. It has just released but can tell it still needs lots of work. This game is not finished and can be something great, but at the moment it is surely nothing good.”
