Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Always played this on the mobile phone, its nice to have it on steam tbh, makes the grind feel a bit more worth it because i can now run it in the background lol, fun game, worth it if your in for the grind, love to see how everything changes on your progress and kinda has a story to it if you think about it. just needs a bit more custom options.
