Players note that the grinding mechanics in the game evoke nostalgia for classic Pokémon titles, offering rewarding experiences through capturing and trading norpons, as well as engaging in various activities like farming and raiding. However, some reviewers feel that the mid-game content feels unfinished, suggesting that the developers may not have anticipated the speed at which players would grind, with promises of more late-game content to come. Overall, while the grinding is creatively rewarding, it may lead to a sense of time-wasting in battles and resource gathering.
- “It feels like the developers' focus is to waste as much time as possible on fights (level grinding) and finding rare or better norpons.”
- “- unfinished from the mid-game onwards (I believe the dev didn’t count on anybody grinding as fast as I have this early on - more late game content has been promised)”
- “Norpons brings back the old school grinding and reward system from old school Pokémon games and the noticeable similarities are warmly welcomed.”
