Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be centered around a simplistic farming minigame, where they plant, water, and harvest crops to earn upgrades. Despite its basic mechanics, the integration of farming with horde survival gameplay is praised for creating an engaging experience, even for those who typically do not enjoy 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 planting, watering, and waiting.”
