grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be slow initially, but rewarding with persistence, allowing for the development of a strong roster. However, many express frustration over the perceived pay-to-win mechanics, as hours spent grinding for officer recruit pieces often yield little to no progress towards acquiring desirable characters.
- “It starts off slow, but once you get the hang of it and are diligent with grinding, you can build a good roster of officers.”
- “It's frustrating because the game itself isn't bad, but certain aspects make it feel like the developers just want your money. For example, you could spend hours grinding for officer recruit pieces (the golden shards) and literally never get any of the good characters, like Guan Yu, Lu Bu, or even Zhou Yun.”
- “Grinding feels tedious and unrewarding, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”

The humor in the game is noted to be somewhat ironic, as players find it amusing that despite the developer's request to close background apps, issues persist. Additionally, the blend of familiar elements from the Dynasty Warriors series with gacha mechanics and town management adds a lighthearted, quirky charm to the gameplay experience.
- “The funny thing is, the developer asked me to close all the apps in the background, and the same thing still happened.”
- “I love the Dynasty Warriors series and have been waiting a long time for this game. Dynasty Warriors M looks like a mini version of DW8 combined with an old ROTK patch and gacha elements. It's funny how it has a mini bug related to graphics and requires an internet connection to play.”
