Reviews indicate that while "Potion Party" features a grinding mechanic necessary for progression, it allows for relatively quick achievement of level goals, preventing deep grinding. However, players find the repetitive nature of grinding can become tedious, especially in solo play, and express a desire for customizable controls to alleviate discomfort during extended sessions. Overall, the game is more enjoyable in cooperative mode despite its grinding requirements.
- “As is, hard to recommend as the mechanics of the game require grinding to beat it completely.”
- “Playing it along gets too chaotic and gets old quickly, so it's definitely not fun to do by yourself unless you enjoy grinding the same levels over and over to get gold to unlock things and make life a little easier.”
- “Super fun co-op, but just wish key binds were able to be customized. After grinding for a few hours, my hand hurts because all controls are on one hand!”
