The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players enjoy the nostalgic, old-school grind reminiscent of classic RPGs, others find the endgame excessively demanding, requiring either significant time investment or substantial monetary spending to progress. Many reviews highlight that while initial story content is manageable, the need for extensive grinding to fully upgrade characters can be overwhelming and feels pay-to-win for those unwilling to invest the time. Overall, the game caters well to fans of grinding but may deter those seeking a more balanced experience.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “Insanely pay-to-win if you don't want to spend literal thousands of hours grinding out fights for 'diamonds'.”
- “I find it ludicrous that anyone can describe the game as 'not at all pay-to-win' when you are literally given the choice of grinding 1,000+ hours or simply paying $200 if you wish to fully upgrade a character... not pay-to-win my @$$.”

- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
