Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of potential and frustration, with players noting mechanical issues and a lack of beginner-friendly guidance. While the core mechanics, particularly the FPS RPG elements and crafting system, are praised, challenges such as invisible damage from enemies and slow healing detract from the experience. Overall, the game combines interesting concepts reminiscent of Hexen and Full Metal Alchemist, but requires updates to improve accessibility and combat fluidity.
- “This game is a bit like if you combined Hexen meets Full Metal Alchemist with RPG game mechanics mixed in with Hexen FPS mechanics.”
- “I find the core mechanics of the game to be pretty solid overall.”
- “The heart of the game really revolves around two major things: the FPS RPG mechanics and the transmuting, the latter of which is much like the Horadric Cube in Diablo 2 in a very good way, providing a simple yet complex and well-done crafting system.”
- “There are a lot of mechanical and guiding issues with the game, at which point guides don't even exist.”
- “The monsters can hit you with invisible, unavoidable damage while you try to fling your skill shot spells at them, and struggle to figure out the alchemy mechanic to get a potion to heal. When you do, the healing is very, very slow.”
- “It needed that to be fair; it took away too much from the core combat element of the game, being too stuck in an inventory window which you need to use a fair bit due to the survival mechanics.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and engaging content, with players expressing frustration over the grind-heavy nature of quests and the overwhelming PvP environment that hinders progress. While some players see potential for an interesting narrative, many desire a richer storyline to enhance the overall experience and make the journey more enjoyable.
- “You start off in a very dark winter area, pick up some quests, and off you go.”
- “There is potential for an interesting story.”
- “I want to see more story so that every player can enjoy not just the fighting or the goals, but the journey that takes them there.”
- “Lack of ground resources makes many quests an insanely long grind compared to kill quests.”
- “Progress of 1.5 hours of grinding and questing resulted in only 3 levels, 2 quests completed, and 1 pair of boots.”
- “I know it's a PvP game, but for goodness' sake, I can't even complete the first quest in the game without someone killing me. Obviously, this game is not for me.”

- “The game has a lot of potential, but the graphics are mediocre. The idea is interesting, though the mechanics and guides need an update to be more beginner-friendly.”
- “I'm not a fan of Unity games, as they generally have what I perceive to be lower graphics quality and more frequent graphical errors. There were a few issues, such as weird lighting and walking through walls. For some reason, I always get a headache after looking at the graphics for a little while.”

The game's stability is severely criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, including significant issues with hitboxes and combat mechanics, leading to a frustrating experience. While some players note that it has a lot of content for an early access title, the overall consensus leans towards it being a poorly executed and unstable product.
- “It isn't too buggy and has a lot of content for early access.”
- “The game runs smoothly without any major crashes or glitches.”
- “I appreciate how stable the gameplay feels, even in the early stages.”
- “It's a hilariously buggy trainwreck that was so bad the developer shipped his private API keys in the game assets, leading to much ridicule from gamers.”
- “This game is awful. Do not play it. I don't even know what the purpose is. It's got PvP aspects or whatever it's supposed to be, projectile-based combat, but it's buggy. The hitboxes are really off, the combat is just awfully slow, and it's incredibly boring with long cooldown times. Do not buy this, not even for 50 cents.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, with significant time investment yielding minimal progress, such as only a few levels and completed quests. However, improvements to the transmute system have enhanced the experience by streamlining crafting and allowing for a greater focus on combat, making the overall grind feel less burdensome.
- “Progress of 1.5 hours of grinding and questing turned out 3 levels, 2 quests completed, and 1 pair of boots.”
- “My initial impression of it wasn't too great, and a big part of that was the transmute system, which was too tediously involved. The developer improved it, and it really made a big difference by putting more focus on the combat while making the crafting quicker and less point-and-click heavy in general.”
