Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, often leading to frustration due to slow progress and the reliance on an energy system. While some appreciate the game's content, many feel that the excessive grinding detracts from the enjoyment, making it feel like a chore rather than a rewarding experience. The pay-to-win elements and the limited effectiveness of certain gameplay mechanics further exacerbate the grind, leaving players feeling overwhelmed and fatigued.

“Resurrecting a character costs one day of grinding (grinding which may be even more difficult early on exactly because some of your army is dead).”
“Slow, boring, uses the accursed energy system which is always bad, pay-to-win style gameplay, you pay subscription or special currency for auto battle, requires extraordinary amounts of grinding, and mercenaries are all but useless.”
