Its a ton of fun honestly. Yes it is a grind to level up things but there are multiple ways of getting gold and gems to advance. Im on stage 207 and i havent spent anything on the game and i have only been playing for a week. The only real problem i have with the game is the relic crafting, the translation is understandable. But with the relic crafting it says the crafting ingredient is invalid every time so ive given up making them and hope i get lucky. Great game though :) love it
