The gameplay is generally praised for its enjoyable mechanics, which are easy to learn yet challenging to master, and the land gameplay is particularly well-received.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly in end-game scenarios where the altar resets frequently, suggesting that reducing the cooldown time for subsequent claims could improve the experience. Many feel that the amount of grinding required is excessive, indicating that it may demand more time and effort than they are willing to invest.
“Some end games can be quite tedious when the altar keeps getting reset; maybe the 5 minutes could shrink for subsequent claims of the altar?”
