grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unbalanced, particularly due to the pay-to-win mechanics that make it difficult to earn coins for upgrades without spending real money. While the game is enjoyable and offers a variety of weapons, the high costs for upgrades and repairs can lead to frustration, especially for those who prefer not to invest additional money. Overall, the grinding experience detracts from the fun, making it feel repetitive and unfulfilling.
- “Game is fun but there is an unbalanced pay-to-win aspect. Grinding out coins to buy new weapons leaves you purchasing 5000 coins for the gun you already have. To top it off, my gun needs repair and for 5k coins, I win the same gun. Come to find out you can only have one rifle of each kind and it still needs repair.”
- “Fun game, but I can see how it might become a bit tedious.”
- “Love the challenge of it with different rifles and sights. It would be good if it wasn't so much on the upgrades, though it gets a bit tedious trying to build up the money so high for the lack of what you get.”

- “The sight won't stay in one place; it wants to go all over the place even when you aren't touching it.”
- “Good game, but they don't give much paper money out, which encourages you to spend on better weapons. Annoyingly, it has bugs where the trigger goes off without touching it or doesn't go off at all. Even when rock steady, it jerks the weapons. I suspect this is because you're winning too much and not spending. But all in all, the best of the rest up to now.”
