Overall, the mechanics and abilities generally work well together, enhancing the fun factor for many players.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be quite extensive, particularly for achievements that require a staggering 1 million bug kills. Many recommend focusing on specific maps to optimize kill rates, with one player reporting a total of 30 hours spent on this grind, highlighting the repetitive nature of the task.
“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.”
