    • “I was enjoying the simple gameplay, repetitive but enough to switch off too.”

    • “The gameplay is repetitive and boring; I definitely do not recommend this game.”
    • “Forced ads, persistent bugs, and unresponsive controls ruin the gameplay, while missing promised features and lack of meaningful choices make progress feel slow and unrewarding.”

  • optimization
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting significant performance issues, including overheating devices, frequent crashes, and slowdowns due to memory-hogging elements. Many users express frustration over the excessive ads that disrupt gameplay, further exacerbating the poor performance.

  • grinding
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unfulfilling, often describing it as a slog filled with slow-paced mechanics and excessive advertisements.

    • “The developers really miss a trick in not including any global achievements that track across the many areas, and leveling the perks is tedious and costly.”
    • “The fun advertised in the movies and advertising for this game is nothing like the actual grindy slog of game mechanics that is in this awful, ad-filled, pay-to-win trash.”
    • “The game could be decent, but due to constantly going into slow motion when you try to move or not even moving, it makes playing tedious.”

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the game's music integration, particularly noting that ads interrupt their background music and that the game lacks its own engaging soundtrack.
