Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, particularly due to the limited variety of mobs available for farming, which forces them to repeat the same encounters for extended periods to progress. The high costs of healing and mana restoration further exacerbate the grind, making it challenging to maintain a balanced party without overleveling. Despite these frustrations, some players note that effective grinding strategies can still yield significant rewards in terms of gold and experience.
“The grind in this game is rewarding, making every level-up feel like a significant achievement.”
“I love how the grinding mechanics are balanced; it never feels tedious and always keeps me engaged.”
“Grinding in this game is not just a chore; it’s an integral part of the journey that enhances the overall experience.”
“Restoring mana and health was insanely grindy, and I could only repeat one type of mob per floor, so I was stuck repeating the same three mobs for hours just to make any progress with coins and gear.”
“The first hit and critical hits are ridiculously strong, while sustaining and healing is too expensive and grindy.”
“This makes grinding a specific party difficult and prevents you from overleveling.”
