Players consistently describe the grinding aspect of the game as slow, tedious, and frustrating, with a lack of meaningful progression. The repetitive nature of clicking and sudden difficulty spikes contribute to a monotonous experience that many find off-putting. Overall, the grinding feels engineered to be excessively tedious rather than challenging.
- “It's slow-paced, grindy, and you don't feel a sense of progression.”
- “This game feels like it was engineered to be as slow and grindy as possible.”
- “The huge turnoff for me is that the dungeon gets extremely tedious where you keep clicking the fight button over and over, which would be fine except the game will sometimes radically spike the difficulty to attempt to force you to restart from scratch and have it technically be your fault for not paying enough attention after several hundred clicks of the fight button.”

- “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals.”
- “Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
