The gameplay is a mix of retro and modern mechanics, offering a fun and engaging roguelite experience with distinct character classes and a variety of strategies. While many players appreciate the smooth controls and satisfying combat, some criticize the lack of variety and depth, particularly in co-op mode.

- “Outside of this, there's not much replayability.”

- “My only con is it starts to be a bit grindy after you reach level 25; however, each time I'm dying, I'm urged to start over in order to do all levels and reach the end of the story (adventure mode!) or to do the horde mode (survival mode).”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “Jumping or landing on platforms is a bit tedious.”
