grinding

The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with players noting that enemy difficulty escalates too quickly while upgrades offer minimal benefits, leading to a tedious experience. Many feel that the need to grind for hours just to achieve slight improvements can detract from overall enjoyment, especially on higher difficulty levels where gameplay becomes excessively punishing.
- “However, the roguelite/like elements are underwhelming and incredibly grindy.”
- “The main problem here is that enemies escalate way too fast, while, on the other hand, the upgrades you are getting are similar to '5% more critical chance', '8% more shield', '2% more critical damage', '10% more max hp', so you better rush it, because, after 20 minutes, you will die in 2 hits... and here I am talking about medium difficulty (in hard difficulty after 10 minutes all enemies feel like a boss and it takes over a minute to kill one, while they can instakill you, turning the game into an insanely tedious experience).”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
