The reviews for "grinding" in Scapeland highlight a significant disconnect between player expectations and the game's actual content. While the initial farming mechanics are described as enjoyable, they are short-lived, quickly giving way to frustrating stealth and puzzle elements that detract from the overall experience. Many players express disappointment over the misleading marketing that emphasizes farming, which ultimately feels minimal and repetitive compared to the more tedious gameplay that follows.
“I almost feel cheated. I got this game while it was on a Humble Bundle sale and I wanted a Harvest Moon kind of game. Sadly, the game developers trick their customers; the farming, which is shown in almost all the screenshots, lasts for a few minutes, maybe around 10 or 15 days, and then suddenly the army shows up. You need to run around, and then the game gets incredibly frustrating. The stealth bit isn't really great, with many places where you just need to run through alarms and hide. You have no weapons other than throwing objects to distract enemies.”
“The farming is tedious and repetitive with an artificially imposed limit on what you can buy at the shop (most of the shop items are ghosted out for 'reasons').”
“I genuinely just want to get back to farming. What kind of BS is it that you make over half of the screenshots of the game about the farming aspect, when really that only lasts a couple of minutes in-game?”
