The reviews highlight that the game is heavily focused on grinding, which can be both a draw and a drawback. Many players find the grinding aspect satisfying and addictive, enjoying the progression and upgrades, while others feel it becomes tedious and repetitive over time, often requiring real money to avoid excessive grinding. Overall, the game appeals to those who appreciate grinding mechanics, but it may frustrate players seeking a more balanced experience.
- “There's no feasible way to reach the end of 'idle tycoon' games like these without either relentlessly grinding, eventually it taking up all of your free time and becoming boring and repetitive, like a job, or converting your hard-earned real-world cash into some worthless digital points, which are then immediately spent on a slight upgrade you know is never going to pay back.”
- “To unlock the new mines after the first few just takes a long time and some of the shafts cost too much to unlock in my opinion as well, which after a while becomes tedious and no longer fun.”
- “The game is fun, it's just I feel it takes too much grinding. I love how it gives you money even if you aren't playing, but one problem is it's kinda hard to get new shafts and to get 800 it's gonna take probably 1 year or more.”
