The grinding aspect of Rogalia is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the in-depth crafting and farming mechanics, many find the early game grind tedious and repetitive, often requiring significant time investment for minimal rewards. The game's grid-based farming system and high resource costs contribute to the frustration, although those who enjoy grinding and base building may find it rewarding in the long run. Overall, the experience can vary greatly depending on individual preferences for grind-heavy gameplay.
- “The game redefines the term 'dead content.' A long, tedious grind that is extremely boring is required for all starting players unless you choose to engage in microtransactions.”
- “There's too much grinding for too little of an outcome.”
- “I think the main problem is that the developer does not have enough knowledge and/or experience to develop the game further to make it actually enjoyable instead of having us spend hours grinding, only to make money by opening a new server instead of expanding what he already started.”
