The reviews highlight that the game is excessively grindy, with players expressing frustration over the slow progression, tedious character acquisition, and minimal rewards for farming. Many users feel that the grinding mechanics hinder enjoyment, making it difficult to advance without significant time investment, while some appreciate the challenge if they are willing to endure the grind. Overall, the consensus is that while the game has potential, it suffers from a lack of quality-of-life features to alleviate the grinding experience.
“Grinding of gears and character acquisition mechanics... well... it's a nightmare, you may get stuck on a stage in 2-3 days already (or maybe even the first day, if you are 'lucky' enough).”
“I'm really enjoying this game but I'm finding the start of it very slow, can't progress further as the next levels are too high for my 3 characters to handle alone and the process of getting a new character is tedious as it takes 10 days just to get one.”
“Game has potential, it's just too grindy; been playing 3 days and haven't been able to get a single new character, so I'm pretty much stuck in the same location.”

“The gameplay itself is great, but it's far from enough to make it a strong factor when everything else feels like a cash grab, and it's impossible to progress without spending money.”
“On top of that, monetization is borderline predatory.”
“Very dull, pricing is a straight-up rip-off; another cash grab mobile game with the same gameplay as other mobile games, identical in fact.”
