The grinding aspect of the game is frequently criticized for being tedious and unbalanced, as it encourages players to prolong battles to maximize gold farming. This design choice may detract from replayability due to a perceived lack of depth in unlocks, although some players still find it enjoyable as a time-sink.
“Very grindy and unbalanced.”
“The game can get a little tedious in the way it basically forces you to extend battles to farm gold (this could perhaps be reduced by giving a gold bonus for defeating enemies faster?), and looking through the unlocks it doesn't seem like it has a huge amount of depth, which could impact replayability, but overall it's a fun little time-sink!”
“- a bit grindy, it rewards drawing fights out long enough to build up gold from your bullion items (at least 4 turns)”

The game is considered to have limited replayability, primarily due to its repetitive mechanics and lack of depth in unlocks. While it offers a fun experience, the necessity to prolong battles for gold farming can make it feel tedious over time. Overall, it falls in the middle of the pack for the roguelike-deckbuilder genre.
“Middle of the pack for the roguelike-deckbuilder genre, no replay value.”
