Reviews on "grinding" highlight a mixed experience: while some players appreciate the minimal grinding required for upgrades and the immediate access to all weapons, others find the limited inventory slots create a repetitive cycle of selling and rebuying character parts. Overall, the game reduces the monotony often associated with grinding, allowing for a more streamlined progression without the burden of excessive microtransactions.
- “There are lots of weapons to choose from right from the start, so there's no tedious grinding to get the powerful weapons.”
- “The game offers a balanced approach to grinding, making it feel rewarding rather than a chore.”
- “Grinding in this game is enjoyable because it allows you to explore different strategies and build your character effectively.”
- “You have a limited number of slots you can put in each category. For example, when you want to buy more body parts for the character, the limit would be 7. If you were planning to buy more than that, you would have to sell it, and why do that if then you would have to repeat the process of grinding to rebuy the previous character parts that you just sold? It's like a cycle.”
- “This is just the same really, without the endless grindy microtransactions.”
- “I personally enjoyed grinding a weapon to get a new one, but it's nice to know that they took a bit of monotony out of the game.”
