Overall, while the graphics and some gameplay aspects are praised, the experience is often marred by a lack of originality and excessive monetization.

    • “The gameplay loop is satisfying and rewarding.”
    • “Super addictive, great story, and rewarding gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is repetitive, improvements and bug fixes are slow, and matchups against others are horribly imbalanced.”

    • “The problem lies in the devs: unscheduled maintenance, major glitches, no recompense, and little to no response from customer service.”
  • grinding
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the slow resource acquisition and the overwhelming presence of pay-to-win mechanics.
