grinding
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both entertaining and tedious, as it involves slow farming for resources, particularly gold coins, which can feel frustratingly reliant on ads for progress. While the concept is enjoyable, the high costs of upgrades and traps, combined with relentless enemy attacks, can make the experience feel overly demanding and repetitive.
- “Farming for gold coins while sleeping is very slow even if you continue to upgrade it.”
- “Great concept but really needs you to depend on ads to win since the upgrades for the doors are expensive to keep up with the speed of the demon who keeps bashing your door without stopping. The weapons do deal damage, but honestly, the demon doesn't care and keeps bashing it (grinding its level) while having overpowered abilities to wreck your door. Traps that stop the demon are very expensive, and none of them are available to shoo away the demons in the first stages, so you can ensure your safety.”
- “Fun game but tedious.”

- “It's a pretty nice game, though I think it needs more upgrades in graphics and gameplay. Some optimization for the mobs and defense would be great. It would look really fantastic if you guys added 3D figures to it. Overall, it's enjoyable, but I look forward to what's next.”
