The game features fast-paced gameplay that is easy to control, making it a good transition for players into chaotic, high-speed games.
The music and sound effects are immersive, contributing to a unique and enjoyable atmosphere reminiscent of The Binding of Isaac.
The game offers a variety of mechanics that provide replayability, even if there are currently limited unlockables.

Controller support is lacking, as the shooting mechanics do not align with the preferred 'Isaac style' controls.
The upgrade system feels strange and limited, with players quickly seeing all available upgrades and unclear reasons to choose anything other than the epic upgrade.
Some characters, like Schizo, can be frustrating to play due to the lack of practice opportunities and long respawn times after dying.
