The gameplay offers a mix of enjoyable mechanics and meaningful decision points, though it lacks depth and can become repetitive over time.

The story is criticized for being repetitive and lacking depth, with missions feeling monotonous as players grind for experience and gold to progress. Each biome follows a similar pattern of completing multiple missions before facing a boss, leading to a perception that the game may have originally been intended as a mobile title. Overall, the narrative elements seem overshadowed by the gameplay mechanics.
- “Each biome is basically 'do the same mission 5 times to get a boss, then repeat the process.'”
- “Somewhat lacking in depth of story to the point I'm fairly certain you were making this a phone game at some point.”
- “The first few minutes of every mission are boring until you farm enough experience and gold to buy a better weapon.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it can be necessary for upgrading equipment and unlocking chests, the high costs of items (priced in an unusual currency of cabbages) can lead to boredom and repetitiveness. Despite this, many still enjoy the gameplay enough to continue through the grind, especially for shorter play sessions.
- “I felt difficulty but nevertheless it didn't stop me from keeping playing, so I had to do a bit of grinding to upgrade equipment and buy chests (yes, there are chests in this game; however, certain chests will unlock as you progress). The pricing for those chests is mind-blowing, to say the least. The first chest that contains small potions (6 of them, I think) is priced at 250 cabbages - yeah, that is the currency in this game, not gold, but vegetables. The next tier chest that contains 8 potions costs 1,000 cabbages. Are you for real?”
- “Can get a bit boring after some time since it is very grindy if you want to get everything maxed out.”
- “A nice tower-defense-brawler; it's a little grindy and repetitive, but the gameplay is enjoyable enough for when you want to play a short session.”
