While it offers some entertainment, the overall difficulty is lacking, preventing players from fully engaging with the game's mechanics.

“The instructions are confusing, and new mechanics are often thrown in seconds before they are needed to avoid death, particularly during long boss battles.”

The game experiences notable stability issues, particularly during boss scenes, which can be buggy and overwhelming due to excessive tricks. Additionally, incomplete character models and minor glitches detract from the overall immersion.
“The boss scenes are a bit buggy, and sometimes it feels like there are too many tricks being packed in at once in a non-intuitive way.”
“The lack of effort put into completing the models is noticeable; I looked up one model and its feet didn't have a polygon face, so it was see-through. It's not a huge issue, but for gameplay, it breaks the immersion. There are also other tiny glitches like that with the toys constantly.”
