The gameplay is characterized by a simple yet engaging core loop that encourages experimentation with unique mechanics and synergies, providing a satisfying optimization experience. However, players note a lack of content and challenge, with some runs feeling either too easy or overly difficult due to unpredictable balance. While the mechanics are innovative and fun, many reviewers express a desire for more depth and variety to sustain long-term engagement.
- “The core gameplay is great, with fun synergies to experiment with and the always-fun number-go-up itch scratch for your brain, but there's just not enough.”
- “Each character has different mechanics which takes 1-2 runs to grasp.”
- “The gameplay core is so good that it is well worth it even though it kind of leaves you wanting more.”
- “The gameplay is something I am very interested in, but it needs way, way more flesh and challenge to keep me engaged.”
- “Anyway it's good fun for a bit of a laugh, but be forewarned you may only get a very limited number of hours, and because the balance is totally cooked by the gameplay's inherently unpredictable nature, you may find your run to be randomly way too easy or way too hard.”
- “It could be cool with more content and harder monsters with unique mechanics you had to work around, and conditions to enable you to work around them.”

Overall, the game's replayability is seen as a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the design that encourages multiple playthroughs, many express a desire for more playable characters, levels, and abilities to enhance the experience.

- “Update: there is a challenge 'bonus' boss if you do the NG+ mode up to 5 on each character, which gives a bit of replayability as well.”
- “I would love to recommend the game to more people, but with the little amount of content it has and replayability, it is sadly a bit lacking.”
- “I want more: other characters, meta-progression to unlock new skills, longer adventures... there just isn't enough replay value.”
- “Replay value is maybe 3/5.”
