Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat repetitive, particularly when unlocking new fractions and characters for coins. However, the randomized, deck-building mechanics keep the experience fresh and engaging, allowing for enjoyable grinding that contributes to easier future runs without becoming tedious.
“New factions and characters add late-game depth, but it can be a little repetitive to unlock something for coins as it's a bit grindy to get them.”
“I received the game for free as an unpaid playtester, but I'd one hundred percent be willing to pay for it. It's fun, challenging, and lets you grind for easier runs in the future without that getting boring or tedious, since the randomized, 'deckbuilder-esque' nature of the game makes each run unique and different biomes need different strategies as well.”
