The gameplay is generally praised for being fun, fluid, and responsive, featuring a variety of enemies and a skill tree that adds depth and prevents repetition. While the mechanics are easy to learn and offer a challenging curve, some players find the combat to be somewhat generic and lacking in cooperative elements. Overall, the game provides a dynamic combat experience, but there are calls for improved online multiplayer options.

“Easy to grasp mechanics with an interesting and challenging learning curve.”
“Combat mechanics can be fast, dynamic, and fair with a level up system.”

Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; some find it tedious and slow-paced, particularly due to the inability to retain experience at higher levels, forcing them to replay lower stages. However, others appreciate the light grind, noting that it adds an interesting element without becoming overly burdensome, making it enjoyable for family play.
“Fun to play with the kids; it has a light grind that isn't tedious and keeps the game interesting.”
“Since you can't keep any experience from the level you are on, I was pushed into grinding low-level stages for a couple of hours instead of being allowed to grind at the stage I was failing.”
“It's slow-paced, grindy, short, boring, and annoying.”
“- can be a bit grindy”
