Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and lacking in strategic depth, often requiring significant time investment or monetary spending to speed up progress. The gameplay primarily revolves around repetitive leveling and technology research, with combat outcomes presented in a summary format rather than through engaging battles.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “Well, it's kind of like a Facebook-style pay-for-speedups type of 'strategy' game, but with very little strategy in my opinion. It's just lots of tedious leveling and researching of technologies. When you attack an enemy, your victory or defeat is displayed on a summary screen, with no combat shown.”
