The gameplay in "Seed of Heroes" offers a mix of enjoyable mechanics, including engaging tile dodging and high replayability, but some players find it limited due to the focus on movement and attack options. The boss-specific treasure system can hinder party building, as it restricts players from fully upgrading heroes without prior knowledge of item drops. Additionally, while the layering of various mechanics adds depth, it can also feel convoluted and overwhelming for some players.
“Seed of Heroes is an enjoyable game with a unique style and engaging tile dodge mechanics.”
“An amazing spin on the survivors-like genre, with very high replayability and tons of fun. The additional layering of various mechanics at first might seem a little overwhelming, but when you start getting into it, it only increases the fun of creating an even stronger and more broken combo.”
“Really nice graphics and dodging mechanics (like FF14/other MMOs).”
“Right now, the gameplay feels a bit limited, as there are only options to move and attack.”
“I understand the mechanic of having boss-specific treasure rewards, but it should be clearer which items drop from which bosses.”
“Personally, I don’t like this mechanic, as it limits your ability to build your party, knowing you can’t fully upgrade everyone if you’re hunting for multiple boss-specific treasures.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and tedious, often requiring over five hours of repetitive tasks before progressing past early bosses. This grind not only detracts from the overall experience but also leads to frustration as players frequently consult guides to manage item allocation for heroes.
“You pretty much won't see past boss 4 or 5 until after 5+ hours of grinding.”
“It rapidly becomes tedious.”
“Moreover, a lot of grinding is required.”
