grinding

Players widely criticize the game for its excessive grinding, noting that progression often feels tedious and heavily reliant on luck rather than skill. Many feel that the difficulty of obtaining new characters and the need to grind for coins detracts from the overall enjoyment, with some suggesting that the game leans towards a pay-to-win model.

The modes have become increasingly difficult for no reason, the pet system and body mods are more ways to waste your time on grinding for, and overall the game has become less of a fun pick up and slowly unlock cool and unique characters and has become a grind fest with an obvious pay to win feature.”
