Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be mixed; while the first and fourth bosses offer engaging chase sequences, the second and third bosses are criticized for being excessively tedious and frustrating.

“The grinding required to level up feels excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
“I found myself repeating the same tasks over and over, which made the experience feel more like a chore than fun.”
