Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics in the game, noting that it often requires replaying earlier levels for upgrades and coins, leading to a tedious experience. Many feel that the game leans towards a pay-to-win model, making progression difficult without significant grinding, which detracts from overall enjoyment. While the game has potential, the excessive grind and difficulty spikes have been a common point of criticism.
“There are a few random difficulty spikes that will require grinding by replaying earlier levels for coins that allow you to get upgrades.”
“It becomes apparent very early on that it's pay to win, and even paying likely isn't going to get you enough to actually advance very far without grinding.”
“Has great potential, but is impossibly grindy.”

“Not too much lame story but more excitement and fun.”
“This game also needs online PvP against other people so you can edit your team, and still play even if you beat the story mode.”
“Put it on events, not the story. Please add more dinosaurs like Allosaurus, Carnotaurus, big Ankylosaurus, Baryonyx, Styracosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Giganotosaurus, and Velociraptor. It can attack the hidden cavemen. Please do this, I'm begging you; it would add some spice to the game and create more levels like a modern-day Spartan era.”
