Players find the grinding aspect of Carnedge to be a mixed experience; while the game offers enjoyable replayability and progression, many report frustration with the repetitive nature of farming for specific items and levels, particularly when upgrades lead to setbacks. The blend of idler and autobattler mechanics allows for some passive gameplay, but the grind can become rage-inducing, especially during critical upgrades. Overall, the grinding can be both rewarding and tedious, depending on the player's approach.
- “Carnedge is a beautiful idler/autobattler hybrid that I had a great time with for about 4 hours before I hit a wall grinding out levels and equipment for the final level.”
- “Literally rage-inducing grinding for an item by beating a boss a few times and then losing it after trying to upgrade it more than 5 times.”
- “I took my time finishing the game; grinding specific boss loot and experimenting with different builds.”
