The game is widely criticized for its excessive grinding, with many players finding it tedious and overly time-consuming, often likening it to idle clickers rather than a traditional RPG. While some appreciate the lack of mandatory in-game purchases for campaign progression, the grindiness is a significant drawback, with many feeling it detracts from overall enjoyment and gameplay ergonomics.
“It's a bit grindy... no, actually, it's a *lot* grindy.”
“It's waaaaay too grindy... so of course there's a pay-to-win option, which they put right in the center of town and highlight for you just so you don't miss it.”
“Incredibly grindy, more cookie clicker than RPG, no thought given to control ergonomics.”

“Can't wait to see the rest of the story!”
“Pretty cute and lovely game; I wish it would be longer with more heroes and more worlds and quests to explore!”
“You level up skills, cook, craft, quest, etc., so I would have to say that's way more content than a mere clicker would be.”
“We still don't have the end of the story and there are still only 4 characters available.”
“There's not much story at all.”
“Pretty cute and lovely game, wish it were longer with more heroes and more worlds and quests to explore!”

The game's monetization model features microtransactions for purchasing powerful weapons and armor, but players can progress through the campaign without spending money, as in-game currency can be earned through gameplay. While the game is grindy, it does not require in-game purchases to enjoy the experience fully.
“The game is very grindy, but otherwise doesn't require in-game purchases to enjoy and progress entirely through the campaign.”
“Microtransactions are used to directly buy powerful weapons and armor.”
“There are in-game purchases, but you honestly don't have to buy the gemstones because you can get them from the different stages as you play.”
