The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring satisfying mechanics that allow for distinct character playstyles and a fun, engaging loop. While it incorporates roguelike elements and offers a variety of strategies, some players note a lack of depth and room variety, leading to a quicker mastery of the gameplay formula. Overall, the controls are responsive, and the blend of retro and modern mechanics enhances the experience, though some feel it could benefit from more content and challenge.
- “The retro style gameplay and modern mechanics blend so well.”
- “Gameplay feels fast, smooth, and allows different strategies to win battles.”
- “The gameplay is super satisfying; there are many ways to combo your moveset, and each class does it uniquely.”
- “Love the concept and the graphics, but the gameplay is awful.”
- “This, along with the relatively low room variety, leads to solving the gameplay formula rather quickly.”
- “It lacks a bit in terms of variety in gameplay; some upgrades change the way you play, but usually it's only a boost to one of your previous moves.”

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

Players note that grinding becomes more pronounced after reaching level 25, with some feeling compelled to restart to complete the story or engage in survival mode. Additionally, the mechanics of jumping and landing can add to the tedium of the grinding experience.
- “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.”
