Players express frustration with the game's focus on grinding, particularly criticizing the minimal farming aspect that is heavily featured in promotional materials but lasts only a few minutes. Many reviewers found the stealth and military elements tedious and repetitive, overshadowing the enjoyable farming mechanics they were eager to engage with. Overall, the game is seen as failing to deliver a balanced experience, leading to disappointment among those seeking a true farming game.
“I am mainly upset at the fact that the majority of the screenshots displayed a farming game, but in reality that part lasted me maybe 5 minutes.”
“I genuinely just want to get back to farming. What kind of nonsense 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?”
“The game fails to break itself up sufficiently between the farming side and the military side. I played for a solid hour just doing the repetitive jumping puzzles because either the game lags and you find yourself trapped in an unwinnable position, or it completely crashes.”

The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with players finding the main soundtrack repetitive and annoying, often recommending muting it for a better experience. While the sound effects are considered decent, the music's performance can be problematic, occasionally causing crashes during fast-paced segments, which can be game-breaking. Overall, the music aspect seems to detract from the gameplay rather than enhance it.
“The game music models and rendering are solid, but sometimes it locks up unpredictably or crashes altogether; this can be game-breaking during the fast-paced running segments.”
“The main soundtrack, though, seems quite annoying.”
