The gameplay is generally praised for its dynamic mechanics, variety of weapons, and engaging enemy encounters, making it enjoyable for fans of the genre.

“Dynamic gameplay, hardcore, lots of weapons, enemies, and challenging bosses.”
“An excellent game, dynamic, a large selection of weapons, a variety of monsters, and character abilities that you can develop to suit your style of gameplay.”
“On top of very buggy gameplay, expect enemies who were literally in front of you to despawn and respawn behind you as an unfair advantage due to the game's horrible programming when it comes to spawning and despawning enemies.”
“4 dollars is not worth feeling frustration over enemies that use really unfair mechanics to get the upper hand, even though it's already pretty hard without those mechanics.”
“I think the mechanic is to teleport enemies closer to you when you're on a higher platform and they're under you, as most of the levels are very vertical. This mechanic ruins the game.”
