The music in the game is generally praised for its calming and tasteful soundtrack, enhancing the overall fun and engaging gameplay experience. However, players have noted issues with the lack of sound effects for enemies and abilities, as well as problems with overlapping tracks that can disrupt the listening experience. Additionally, there is a desire for separate volume control to better manage the music.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game primarily revolves around a simple farming minigame, where they plant, water, and wait for crops to grow before selling them for upgrades. While the farming mechanics lack complexity, many appreciate how this system effectively complements the horde survival gameplay, making it enjoyable even for those who typically don't favor farming games.
“Instead, you need to play the farming minigame first and then sell your crops to buy upgrades.”
“There appears to be no other complexity to the farming minigame other than plant, water, and wait.”
“I usually don't go for farming games other than RimWorld, but the way this game integrates farming with Brotato-style horde survival runs just works for me.”
