Reviews indicate that while the game features a grindy element, players can successfully progress through stages using skill rather than extensive grinding. Many users noted that they did not fully max out subsystems, suggesting that achieving complete upgrades would require significant grinding, particularly for those with completionist tendencies.
- “By the end, I hadn't maxed any of the subsystems, and most weren't even halfway to being maxed, so it would have taken a lot of grinding to max the whole ship for the OCD folks.”
- “I'd also normally criticize it for being grindy, but I just beat the stages with player skill instead of grinding.”
