The gameplay is generally well-received, offering a solid experience reminiscent of popular titles like "Vampire Survivor," with enjoyable boss encounters. However, some players find it can become repetitive over extended play sessions, and the mechanics may feel less fluid and engaging compared to other games in the genre. Overall, it strikes a balance between fun and monotony, earning a mixed but positive reception.
“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' clone at its core, but with slower, less fluid gameplay and uninspiring weapons.”

The graphics of the game are described as "fine enough," but there is a consensus that they lack the polish and depth expected from a modern title, especially when compared to similar games like Vampire Survivors. Some users suggest that the aesthetic inconsistencies and the need for higher graphical fidelity detract from the overall experience, indicating that the visuals could benefit from further refinement.
“Visuals are good.”
“Good, I guess, but higher graphics settings would enhance the experience for better computers.”
“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.”
“Graphically, the game looks fine enough.”

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