Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, as it requires repetitively replaying sequences to earn supplies and credits for upgrading the underpowered starter ship. This lack of variety in the grinding process detracts from the overall experience, making progression feel monotonous.
- “Slowly earn supplies and credits to upgrade the woefully underpowered starter ship, grinding if necessary, to progress through wave after wave of underwater enemies.”
- “This grinding degrades the experience by forcing players to replay sequences multiple times without offering any variety for their effort.”
