Players note that the grinding aspect of the game feels excessive, likely due to the influence of its mobile version, which has not been adjusted for the console experience. The low rate of bonus card drops exacerbates this issue, leading to a perception of unbalanced free-to-play microtransaction mechanics.
- “If this is ported from the mobile version rather than vice-versa, I would guess that the free-to-play microtransaction mechanics have not been rebalanced due to the low rate of bonus card drops and the slightly grindy nature.”
- “The grinding in this game feels excessive and tedious, making it hard to enjoy the overall experience.”
- “I find myself spending more time grinding for resources than actually playing the game, which is frustrating.”
