Right out of the gate the grind is completely unbearable and the benefits of the upgrades are basically unnoticeable.
The levels are so long and the enemies so boring that playing through the first level starts to feel like a chore, and this is before you end up having to replay it many times because the upgrades are all extremely expensive and you basically don't get any experience from a level unless you actually complete it due to the experience loss on death.

On easy i can play through the game without grinding, no need to repeat levels, in fact it gets too easy as I am overpowered after a while. I will not make it easier.
