    • “For the story mode, I just kept having to do tedious missions again and again, with the only difference being having to use different characters and fight different enemies.

Eventually, it felt more like having to do homework rather than having fun killing the enemies.”
    • “I've played for just about 150 hours, and the offline game gets repetitive when you reach the highest skill level. You're basically just grinding to level characters so you can have more diverse gameplay, and getting a character to max takes a lot of rounds.”
