Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be extensive and often tied to pay-to-win mechanics, with frequent events and idle features that encourage continuous play. While some appreciate the auto-grinding feature, many express frustration over the game's reliance on microtransactions and the inability to pause during notifications, which can disrupt the grinding experience. Overall, the grind is seen as both a core part of the gameplay and a potential barrier for those unwilling to spend money.
- “Furthermore, unlike most grindy gacha games, you can't start attacking something and then put the phone down because if you get any notification at all, it pauses everything until you look at it.”
- “The game itself is a money grab; the gameplay lacks uniqueness. The events are good, but you'll get limited rewards unless you spend money. The modes are enjoyable, though very grindy.”
- “Decent game, but there are so many pay-to-win mechanics that every menu you open has some type of microtransaction to get more rewards or make grinding easier.”
