Players appreciate the satisfying farming and leveling loop in the game, which offers both PvE and PvP options for grinding. However, there are frustrations regarding balance, as teams can be unexpectedly overpowered despite a strong early-game performance, leading to feelings of unfairness after investing time in grinding.
- “Heroes of the Storm-like FPS/farming game, but HOTS is already a super dead game overall.”
- “And why are they allowed to stomp my team even though we were winning, after 5 minutes of grinding those bots?”
- “There's PvE and PvP, so you can try to figure out a balance between farming bots or just taking on other players in team fights.”

- “The monetization system is so aggressive that it ruins the overall experience, making it feel more like a money-making scheme than a game.”
- “It's frustrating to see so many features locked behind paywalls, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
