Gameplay in this title is a mixed experience, with players enjoying the world generation but finding the gameplay loop repetitive and lacking depth. While the automatic asset assignment and generation speed are praised, the quest mechanics can feel confusing and unengaging, leading to moments where players struggle to find purpose in their actions. Overall, the game may appeal more for its creative world-building than for its actual gameplay experience.
- “As promised, I have jumped into the gameplay of the games/worlds generated and am having lots of fun.”
- “I would get it just for the world generation even if the gameplay is not as interesting, as I would end up imagining these worlds based on these AI generations, as the world generation is that good.”
- “While some aspects, like the automatic assignment of assets and the speed of their generation, are impressive, the gameplay loop is lacking.”
- “The process of creating worlds can be time-consuming, and the end results are often a mixed bag, featuring bizarre graphics and unpredictable gameplay elements.”
- “I do find the UI for world generation a little vague, as I don't know how it works. From world generation to starting a game, I don't know if I can partially generate a world and enter, or what happens if I enter a world then finish generation and enter a world again; so it could use a tutorial area to explain how the mechanics of the game work.”
- “While some aspects, like the automatic assignment of assets and the speed of their generation, are impressive, the gameplay loop is... lacking.”

The graphics in the game are a mixed bag, with 2D visuals that are less polished compared to the roguelite's user interface, yet the overall performance and AI response time are significantly improved. While the world creation process can be time-consuming and yield bizarre results, the game still offers a fun experience, especially on lower-end hardware.
- “I see it as a massive upgrade from the first game and lots of potential because it's already fun and runs even better than the first one for me despite the complaints. The game is great, please give it a shot.”

The story is criticized for its repetitive and uninspired gameplay loop of interacting with NPCs and completing quests, which detracts from the overall experience. An example of this is a quest involving a chocolate fountain that feels disjointed, as players are unable to interact with the surrounding assets and must rely on NPCs for quest items, highlighting a lack of coherence in the narrative design.
- “The gameplay loop of talking to NPCs, doing quests, and then talking again is unsurprisingly bland. It feels odd when a quest had me 'look for a chocolate fountain to dip my golden honeycomb in.' Despite being surrounded by chocolate fountain assets, I couldn't dip my quest item in any of them. To make matters worse, I didn't even have the honeycomb until I asked an NPC to provide it.”
