The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over misleading advertisements that promise extensive character customization and gameplay features that do not exist.

“I'm not a typical gamer, but I enjoy leveling up without in-app purchases.”

“This game runs stupid fake ads showing the game as being completely different than it is.”

The grinding aspect of the game is a mixed bag; while many players appreciate the ability to switch classes and the fun of leveling up, they often find the process tedious and repetitive, especially with the reliance on auto-play and long wait times for upgrades. Critics highlight that excessive grinding can lead to frustration, particularly when rewards feel minimal or unbalanced, and some feel that the game leans heavily towards a pay-to-win model. Overall, while grinding is integral to the experience, it can detract from enjoyment due to its monotonous nature and the time investment required for meaningful progress.

“I appreciate how the game balances grinding with meaningful rewards, making each session feel productive and enjoyable.”
“Some of the grinding is monotonous, especially the gear-giving dungeons.”
“You will quickly reach a point where you can't progress without hours of meaningless grinding (watching the computer play).”

“I like the graphics, but the plinky-plinky music gets old real fast, and the sounds are below average.”

I haven't even played much, but it looks good; just a shame!”
“Make me watch a video about a woman's butt so I can finish a video about elephants listening to classical music.”
