Grinding in the game is considered tedious and time-consuming, with added screen shaking making the experience frustrating rather than enjoyable. It feels more like a filler activity for mobile play than engaging gameplay.
- “It's tedious, and feels like a time-burner for a mobile device rather than something that's meant to provide fun.”
- “I would have given it a thumbs up if it wasn't for that enormously tedious screen shaking.”
