The grinding aspect of the game is noted to be quite tedious and unbalanced, as it encourages players to prolong battles to farm gold, which may detract from replayability due to a lack of depth in unlocks. While it can feel grindy, 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. 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).”
