Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be extensive, particularly due to the requirement of achieving 1 million bug kills, which can take around 30 hours to complete. The river map is recommended for efficient farming, allowing players to average about 25,000 kills per run, making the grind feel repetitive and time-consuming. Overall, the achievements are considered very grindy.
- “95% of your time with the achievements in this game will be spent farming the 1 million bug kills. It helps to play on the river map as enemies are pushed from outside the map quite close to you, and you can average around 25,000 kills per run. It took me a total of 30 hours to grind both kills and deaths.”
- “Very grindy achievements.”
