Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a significant drawback, as it often leads to monotonous and mindless resource farming, especially when pursuing lofty progression goals. While the initial gameplay is enjoyable, it tends to become repetitive over time, resembling an idle game once automation is introduced. Despite these issues, some players still consider it a decent value for its low price.
“The progression is the thing that bugs me the most as the end goal is way too lofty to achieve without mindless grinding, and the level system is kinda dumb.”
“It's fun for the first hour or so, but quickly becomes monotonous grinding and hunting/gathering resources.”
“Fun little game not to be taken too seriously; it becomes almost like an idle game after you automate resource farming.”
