The gameplay features a corruption mechanic that promotes exploration, but players report that the experience is limited to about 1-3 hours before it feels repetitive. Many reviewers express concerns about balance issues and a lack of interactivity, leading to a linear experience, and suggest that expanding the talent tree could enhance gameplay variety. Overall, the game is not recommended in its current state due to these shortcomings.
“I also really like how the corruption mechanic encourages players to move around each level.”
“I reckon you will have about 1-3 hours worth of gameplay with this game before feeling like you've hit the wall.”
“I wouldn't recommend the game in its current state as there are some balance and gameplay issues causing the gameplay to be linear and non-interactive.”

The game features charming retro graphics that appeal to fans of pixel art and 1990s consoles, enhancing the intense gameplay against hordes of enemies. However, many reviewers criticize the lack of originality, noting that the graphics rely heavily on pre-made assets used in other games, and express a desire for a more unique art style in future updates.
“It's a survivors-like game with some nice retro graphics and sounds.”
“It has cute graphics with intense fights against hordes of enemies.”
“For fans of pixel graphics and 1990's consoles.”
“The graphics are by no means original - the dungeon beneath on Steam and at least three games I've seen on the Google Play Store use these exact same assets. Going forward, if this game continues to get substantial updates, I'd hope the developers at some point switch to a more original art style that isn't just a premade asset factory.”

The game suffers from significant performance issues, particularly with framerate drops during intense on-screen action, indicating poor optimization for modern computers.
“Performance tends to chug hard, and the framerate drops significantly when a lot of stuff is happening on screen at a time.”
