“Nice action game with terrible music, predefined 'walking'.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and boring, particularly due to slow manual movement and stationary enemies that fail to provide a challenge. Additionally, the lack of checkpoints throughout lengthy levels exacerbates the frustration, making progress feel unrewarding.
