The gameplay is generally well-received, offering a solid version of familiar mechanics akin to games like "Vampire Survivor," with enjoyable boss encounters.

Despite these drawbacks, many still find it a good time, rating it positively.
“This is actually a good version of the game mechanics, where it is actually possible to complete a round without being flattened.”
“The gameplay is basically the same as in common games like 'Vampire Survivor'.”
“At some stages in the levels, you have to go against bosses, which I really like as a mechanic.”
“It's a 'Vampire Survivor' like at its core, but with slower, less fluid gameplay and uninspiring weapons.”

The graphics of the game are described as generally acceptable, with some users noting that they look "fine enough" but could benefit from enhancements for higher-end systems. However, there are criticisms regarding the aesthetic consistency, as new content seems mismatched with the original design, leading to a perception of a lack of cohesion. Overall, while the visuals are not the game's main flaw, they do not elevate the experience significantly.
“Good, I guess, but add higher graphics and all for better computers.”
“Visuals are good.”
“Out of all the games Blue Wizard could've worked on, it was this one, and to think it's already a dead game with an all-time peak of 13 players. It's safe to say this was a pretty wasteful endeavor, seeing as most of the people who played it were either free or in testing. I think this was a failed game, basically just Vampire Survivors re-skinned and with less content. Plus, the content they have been adding just doesn't seem to fit the aesthetic of the overall game. It makes me think that maybe they had a different developer add them from the one who made it in the first place, which happens, but I just think they didn't do a very good job of it.”

“I unlocked everything within two hours due to how easy it was, and for me, it lacks replayability.”
“Add more playable eggs, maps, and weapons.”

The story of the game is perceived as lackluster and derivative, with many reviewers likening it to a re-skinned version of "Vampire Survivors" that fails to deliver meaningful content or a cohesive aesthetic. The overall sentiment suggests that the game feels like a wasted effort, leading players to recommend alternative titles that offer richer experiences.

“Overall, I think you should go buy Vampire Survivors instead or some other game like Patch Quest or even The Binding of Isaac if you have the money and want a super big game that'll last you for years. But as any roguelike, it can be rather frustrating and demands too much from your fingers.”
