Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while there are persistent buffs and a skill tree that can be enhanced with some grinding, many feel that the game can become excessively grindy, particularly with challenging bosses and time attack challenges that are difficult for new characters. The combat is praised for its responsiveness and variety, but the slow progression due to high enemy health can detract from the overall enjoyment, leading some to recommend waiting for improvements if grinding is a concern.
- “Still, the game is a bit grindy in its current state; many of the time attack challenges are borderline impossible to clear on a fresh character, some bosses have way too much health for how often they break out of combos, and if you're only making it to the second boss consistently, it can take upwards of an hour to earn a single skill point.”
- “Some enemies and bosses have far too much health for a fresh run, slowing the pace down and making the progression system feel grindy when it takes so long to earn even a single skill point.”
- “You can get some persistent buffs, but you aren't going to cruise through higher difficulties just from grinding.”
