Reviews indicate that the game suffers from excessive grinding, making progression feel tedious and frustrating, particularly at early levels. While some players appreciate the rewards and resources available through grinding, many express dissatisfaction with the amount of effort required to advance, suggesting that it detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “Hammer Quest, for instance, was great and this game is similar but requires way too much grinding.”
- “I cannot get past level 9, even after buying a 17 million dollar sword. That is a bummer; I refuse to grind for like 60 million or more for another stronger sword just so I can pass level 9. What will likely happen if I make it to level 10 is I will have to grind more. At least that is the pattern of this game so far. Why does this game require so much tedious grinding?”
- “For some reason, this developer depends on grinding way too much.”
