Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive and tedious, particularly due to the waiting for rewards and crafting mechanics. While it may appeal to fans of merging games and its spooky theme, the frequent and often crashing ads further detract from the experience. Overall, it may not be suitable for those who dislike grinding.
“Like most merging games, this one became repetitive and tedious for me. Definitely not a game for you if you don't like waiting for rewards, crafting, energy, etc. (P.S. unlocking upgrade pictures became really unfair after about the third one). Though if you really enjoy merging games and spooky things, I recommend it.”
“It's a good game and the goddesses are cute, but the ads are tedious and very frequent, often crashing the game, which cancels the reward from watching the ad.”
