The gameplay is praised for its unique mechanics, tight controls, and satisfying boss encounters, making it a standout in the roguelike genre.

While the game is enjoyable and visually appealing, it is noted to be on the shorter side, with some criticism regarding balance issues and the effectiveness of certain mechanics.
