Players note that grinding primarily involves collecting cards, with the likelihood of obtaining rarer cards increasing the more a stage is played, which can lead to a delayed sense of reward.
“Most of it is grinding for cards, with rarer cards becoming easier to get the more you play a stage, meaning you won't get a rare drop early.”
“The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
“I spent hours grinding for resources, only to realize that the rewards weren't worth the time invested.”
