Players note that grinding in the game can lead to significant rewards, such as acquiring high-tier pets early on by farming in the initial levels. However, some express concern that this may undermine the intended challenge of late-game content, as much of their time is spent grinding in survival mode.
- “It seems one can upgrade the items so much that you can get all the 4-star pets just by farming a bit in the early levels. Aren't they supposed to be for the late game?”
- “I've spent the majority of my time grinding in survival mode.”
