Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly after the initial hours of gameplay. Many express frustration with the lack of engaging content in the endgame, as well as the absence of features like auto-clickers or AFK farming, which could alleviate the monotony. Overall, while the game starts strong, it ultimately suffers from excessive grinding that detracts from the overall experience.
- “Not very grindy for an idle game.”
- “A couple of months later, the devs released an update with a new game plus that added almost nothing except one achievement and two more hours of even less fun grinding.”
- “After that, it's just a matter of tediously manually leveling up each character, one by one.”

The gameplay is initially enjoyable but quickly becomes repetitive, lacking depth and variety as players progress. With a short playtime and minimal mechanics, the experience feels limited, especially in the endgame where choices are trivialized. While the production quality is commendable, the overall gameplay loop fails to sustain long-term engagement.
- “Only takes about a day to beat with all achievements, but the gameplay is fun and the concept is solid.”
- “Production quality is great and the small little details are cool, but the gameplay loop itself just missed the mark for me.”
- “Minimalistic, nice soundtrack, and gameplay not overloaded with mechanics.”
- “There's no builds or anything; you just get the same thing with slightly different mechanics and flavor text.”
- “Gameplay flow felt fine while unlocking characters, but there are no real choices with the eventual 'endgame' being maxing all that is available, to the point where it trivializes the scaling of the game.”
- “After the first hour, this game gets boring because it does not change the gameplay loop.”
