The reviews indicate that the game involves a significant amount of grinding, which many players find tedious and time-consuming, especially at lower levels. While some appreciate the grind as a core aspect of the gameplay, others criticize it for being overly repetitive and lacking engaging content, such as quests or meaningful rewards. Overall, the grinding experience is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the challenge while others feel it detracts from the game's enjoyment.
- “This game needs a lot of useless grinding which is no fun at all.”
- “Unless you enjoy slogging through mind-numbingly countless hours of tediously repetitive grinding before the first boss at a suggested level of only 15, then this game should not be on your list.”
- “I change my previous comment; it takes too much grinding to level. I expect when you get around level 30 or so it will take time, but at the beginning, you have to kill a lot to level up once. That I dislike. Other than that, I love the game, but like I said, the amount of grinding for levels at such a low level is crazy.”
