Players find the grinding aspect of the game both addictive and frustrating.

The gym with its equipment didn't appear or respawn, which makes strength training a tedious and tumultuous task. You have to promptly do other exercises to even gain a single point of strength. Purchasing and equipping props disappeared and didn't register in my experience. Lastly, the AI is incoherent and incompetent in fights and co-op.”
- “I just get tired of grinding out my training to get beat up every match though.”
- “After grinding for months, one out of the blue error made me lose my data. Guys, come on, why didn't you add a save button option to restore my data and potentially others' data too? It is so devastating to witness this happen; my money went down the drain...”
