Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively time-consuming and tedious, often requiring a significant investment of time for minimal rewards, primarily cosmetic items. The PvE mode is criticized for being unpolished and overly easy, leading to a lack of meaningful engagement. Overall, many feel that the grind detracts from the overall experience, making it feel less rewarding.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “I'm actually daring to say this story mode could turn out to be better than how Multiversus' PvE mode plays out. Multiversus' PvE mode, for reference, is unpolished, wildly easy, and very grindy. There is no point to play PvE unless you want to earn more cosmetics, which the mode does offer. For the price of your time, which is very precious!”
