The gameplay is a blend of space bullet hell and ARPG mechanics, drawing heavy inspiration from Path of Exile with its intricate skill trees and crafting systems. Players appreciate the depth of customization and the rewarding progression, though some find the action simplistic and the learning curve steep for newcomers. While the core mechanics are engaging and the game offers significant replayability, some users note a lack of diversity in boss mechanics and potential repetitiveness in gameplay.
- “Brilliant game - space bullet hell autobattler with deep mechanics and customization. Players familiar with Path of Exile will feel right at home, and everyone who loves the genre or has a knack for figuring things out will enjoy it. The game features a skill tree with starting classes, ascendencies, maps with their own skill trees, late-game bosses, endless mode, deterministic crafting, corrupted items, annoints, and more. It's well worth the money.”
- “Every session feels rewarding because progress never truly stops—each defeat leads to new insights, each victory unlocks new tools, and each experiment brings you closer to mastering the game’s intricate mechanics.”
- “The combination of a survivor-like ARPG and a Path of Exile-style mechanic depth really makes for something interesting to spend time fiddling with character builds and challenging content.”
- “Monster mechanics seem to end at bullets, beams, and booms.”
- “I wonder how much more gameplay diversity there is, because so far, aside from some light dodging, there hasn't been much of a 'mechanic' to any boss or such.”
- “Gameplay gets a bit repetitive.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the clean, futuristic aesthetic and effective sound design that enhance readability and immersion. However, many users criticize the visuals as rough and lacking coherence, with AI-generated elements and poorly designed assets detracting from the overall experience. While some appreciate the game's focus on gameplay over graphical fidelity, there is a consensus that improved art quality and consistency would significantly benefit the game's presentation.
- “Visually, the game embraces a clean, futuristic aesthetic.”
- “Though the visuals and sound design may not rival large-scale studio productions, they deliver precisely what a game like this needs: readability, immersion, and rhythm.”
- “Nice (AI-generated?) graphics.”
- “It's clearly DALL-E style; the weapons look like garbled mush, the 'companions' who have dialogue during the campaign look really bad, and generally the graphics are nothing to write home about.”
- “From the general art style resembling slightly photorealistic art that neural networks output these days, to the broken yet very distinctly visible geometry of the dice in the game.”
- “The artwork is honestly pretty bad.”

The game's story is minimal and primarily serves as a backdrop for gameplay, focusing on sector-based missions that offer tiered loot and buffs. Players experience a fast-paced, reward-driven structure reminiscent of "Diablo-in-space," with current NPC art and narrative elements being placeholder content. Overall, the emphasis is on gameplay mechanics rather than a deep narrative experience.
- “The dopamine rush is phenomenal, with most missions lasting about one minute before lavishing you with new rewards.”
- “Once you get there, you start getting 'sector' drops that allow you to do a specific mission or area based on a set tier of levels for amazing loot the further you go into each sector.”
- “Edit: now there is also a sector leveling tree separate from the main skill tree that allows you to spend a mission point when you complete a sector for the first time and spend it towards various buffs for end-game sectors (things like sectors dropping a higher tier, more experience, better chances of 'twisted' loot with random affixes on unique weapons, etc).”
- “(Currently in version 0.2, all the NPC art and 'story' seems to be AI-generated placeholders. They are functional, but I would not be surprised if Kiki and Turtle don't make it into the full release.)”

- “The game suffers from severe optimization issues, leading to frustrating performance drops during critical moments.”
