Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, particularly after the second world, where the difficulty spikes and progress becomes slow and frustrating. Many reviewers noted that the initial enjoyment diminishes due to repetitive gameplay and the need to grind for upgrades, leading to a loss of motivation to continue playing.
- “Some annoying parts especially the long sections of nothing happening at the start of many levels; you'll be grinding the same levels a lot to unlock planes and weapons, so this nonsense gets old fast.”
- “I enjoyed it at the beginning, but the huge spike in difficulty and grinding takes out the fun!”
- “Stopped playing because the level became far too hard without any reward; constant grinding for supplies won't help since weapons or aircraft very soon hit a 125 stars upgrade wall.”
