grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, as inconsistent movement mechanics lead to a reliance on luck rather than skill. Many feel that the extra challenges and soul rewards are unnecessary, as they can achieve upgrades and progress without the need for extensive farming. Overall, the grinding experience is viewed as lacking in purpose and enjoyment.
- “It's a tedious fight and the movement mechanics make the timings super inconsistent, which makes it feel pointless to retry since it feels more like luck than anything.”
- “The game designer seems to think that players really want to get those extra souls that are in dangerous spots or extra rooms, but on my first playthrough, I got more than enough souls to get all upgrades and more than half the gallery without farming and without those souls, which makes the extra challenge a bit pointless.”
