The gameplay is described as awkward for a bullet hell shooter, with a reliance on character abilities and weapon selection. While some players find it reminiscent of Touhou 6 and appreciate the smooth controls and intense combat, others note that the mechanics can be challenging to master, leading to mixed feelings about the overall experience.
- “For gameplay, I'd say it's really nice; the controls are smooth enough to dodge the shots and take down enemies. All this combat is quite intense, as the bullets come towards you at a relatively fast speed, or in tight barrages that seem nearly impossible to dodge.”
- “Now, the gameplay itself is pretty awkward for a bullet hell shooter.”
- “This is the exact gameplay to expect for the entirety of the game, along with using our characters' abilities and weapons chosen from the menu.”
- “This game reminds me of the 3D version of Touhou 6, which has similar gameplay.”
