The gameplay features standard RPG Maker mechanics with turn-based combat, but suffers from issues such as a poor translation, bugs, repetitive dungeon design, and grindy elements. While it may appeal to those seeking animated adult content, it falls short for players prioritizing engaging gameplay, resulting in a lackluster experience overall.
- “Music and gameplay is okay.”
- “I'm a gameplay guy though, and Begieade failed to meet my (rather low) bar for this genre.”
- “On the downside, you’ll get a sloppy (if comprehendible) translation, some bugs, monotonous dungeon design, grindy gameplay, and a short plot.”
- “I’m a gameplay guy though, and Begieade failed to meet my (rather low) bar for this genre.”

The gameplay is often described as monotonous, contributing to a sense of frustration, especially on normal difficulty, leading some to recommend lowering the difficulty for a more enjoyable experience.
- “On the downside, you’ll get a sloppy (if comprehensible) translation, some bugs, monotonous dungeon design, grindy gameplay, and a short plot.”

- “On normal or harder difficulty, this requires some leveling by either the (long and grindy) combat route or the (shorter yet still grindy) sexual route.”

The graphics in Begieade are highlighted for their original art style and quality animation, particularly in the lewd scenes, which serve as a key selling point. However, some criticism is directed at the character design, which features typical tropes. Overall, the artwork and animation are well-received.
- “Begieade’s selling point is obviously the fact that all the lewd content is animated, and in a fairly original art style at that.”
- “Again, it's a pity as the artwork and animation are both quite good.”
