The gameplay is a moderately enjoyable action-platformer-rogue-lite that features satisfying mechanics and a good variety of builds and upgrades, despite some initial control challenges and a lengthy stomp animation. While it lacks the unique fighting mechanics of its predecessor, Wanba Warriors, it compensates with engaging roguelike elements and a visually appealing art style. Overall, players find the core gameplay to be highly satisfying, making it a standout in the roguelike genre.
“Really fun roguelike with satisfying gameplay, good build/upgrade variety. Even though the game only has 5 different weapons, they play completely different from one another and synergize with different boons and items you gather in your runs.”
“Some of the most fun gameplay you can find in the entire roguelike genre!”
“Good gameplay; the art style may seem sketchy at first glance, but in motion everything looks really cool.”
“It's a moderately fun action-platformer-rogue-lite, but totally not what I was hoping for after playing Wanba Warriors - no 'circling' fighting mechanics made it here, just your usual button-mashing.”
“The controls are a lot to get over at first, and the stomp animation is a little long and slows down gameplay a lot, but otherwise it's a generally enjoyable game.”
“Another proof that gameplay trumps everything, maybe especially in roguelikes.”
