grinding

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it excessively time-consuming and tedious, particularly for material upgrades and event currencies. While some appreciate the casual nature of grinding and the game's free-to-play friendliness, others express frustration over the lack of skip or speed-up options, leading to repetitive gameplay. Overall, while the game offers enjoyable characters and storylines, the grinding experience can detract from the overall enjoyment for many players.
- “Initially I loved the game, but sadly the continuous grinding for upgrades drove me away from the game. I mean, the other day I ran like 20-30 battles on level-up materials and I barely got materials to level up 1.5 characters, and both started from level 10ish. Level break materials are more of the same, the co-op almost never matches, and if it does, if people see you inferior to them, they bail out. Anyway, best of luck to those who enjoy the game.”
- “The only problem I have is how tedious the event grinding and acquiring of event currency to exchange in the shop.”
- “Grinding is a joke because the reward system is random.”

- “One thing I don't like is that the voices are a little too quiet when compared to the background sounds and music.”

- “Amazing combat, awesome character designs and interactions, well written story.”
