    • “I really enjoy the gameplay”
    • “The gameplay is engaging and fun”
  • music2 mentions

    The music in the game is often described as overpowering, but players appreciate that it can be disabled, making this concern relatively minor.

    • “Cons: the music is overpowering; however, it can be disabled, so that is a very minor issue.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect tedious due to the limitation of selecting only up to 8 characters at a time, which requires frequent backing out and manual re-selection, hindering the learning process.

    • “You can only choose up to 8 characters at once, which makes sense to avoid clutter on the screen, but for learning purposes, this becomes tedious - backing out, manually selecting them, and going in again.”
