Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and frustrating, primarily due to the rapid degradation of tools and weapons, high resource costs, and the frequent need to start over. While some appreciate the game's premise and leveling speed, many feel that the grind for materials and the difficulty of tasks detracts from overall enjoyment, often leading to a pay-to-win sentiment. Overall, the consensus is that the game requires significant adjustments to balance the grinding experience.
“I hope you guys update soon... I would have only given 3 stars, but the leveling up goes really fast, so it's not too grindy.”
“Good premise but the energy it takes to travel is ridiculous, really limits gameplay, and the amount of resources everything takes compared to the low durability on everything and the fact that you can't repair tools, weapons, or armor makes grinding extremely tedious because it leaves no resources to actually upgrade things to make better armor, weapons, or tools, and since everything breaks so fast you are constantly losing your gear and starting over with nothing to fight mobs needs rebalance.”
“This is just as bad as every other mobile survival title where making money is the only goal of the devs. The weapons break as if they were toys, the hunger/thirst is too frequent, you can't ever get enough materials to build and craft what you want without grinding for days or paying cash and I don't mind supporting good devs that make good games but this is neither.”
“Whats the point of grinding to craft good gear and enchants if the gear doesn't last 5 minutes without breaking no matter what the quality.”
