The entire map is visible, allowing players to keep track of the Lich's movements while completing quests and rebuilding the world. Battle enemies using action commands to block attacks and deal critical hits, and make sure to communicate and strategize with any co-op partners. The game is won by defeating the Lich King on the 20th day, but failure means starting over.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to slow map navigation, which can detract from the overall experience. While the concept of facing increasingly stronger enemies is intriguing, the repetitive nature of the gameplay may discourage continued engagement.
“The premise of an RPG where the enemy gets stronger over time and you have to make yourself strong enough to defeat them in time is interesting. I wish we had more games that explored that idea, but the basic gameplay of Apocalich is so tedious I don't even want to keep playing it, regardless of how well it manages the balance of making yourself stronger in time.”
“Grinding in this game feels like a chore rather than an engaging part of the experience. It quickly becomes repetitive and uninspired.”
