Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, often exacerbated by technical issues like freezing. Achievements require repetitive backtracking through dialogue trees without clear indicators, and the necessity to collect excessive resources adds to the monotony. Overall, the grinding feels unnecessary and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“Instead, they decided to make a tedious and boring mini-game that for some reason froze my computer for 3 seconds every time I didn't click on an interactable object.”
“For the achievements, which may not be something everyone is looking to do in a video game, you needed to go through every incorrect dialogue tree without any indicator of what you chose previously. To ensure you get all of them, you have to go back through all of them again. Additionally, there is no point in the cash after purchasing everything, although for the achievements, you need to collect more than enough stars to be able to get everything. Then you need to do the 500 dragons, which normally would have just been tedious and easy to do, but every time I missed one, my screen would freeze and I would lose.”
