The gameplay is praised for its diverse monster mechanics and dynamic environments that create a unique experience in each level, providing at least an hour of engaging content. However, as the game progresses, it can become overwhelming due to reliance on RNG for monster encounters, which may lead to conflicting gameplay mechanics. Additionally, the necessity of headphones for audio cues is emphasized, as it significantly impacts the player's ability to respond to threats.
“I really like the different mechanics for all of the monsters, and changing the environment each night makes for a unique experience every level.”
“This game does throw enough curveballs to keep from getting too repetitive, such as introducing monsters that require different mechanics to ward off.”
“This is one of those games that absolutely requires headphones; otherwise, you won't be able to hear the monsters' attack cues and respond in time.”
“This game does throw enough curve balls to keep from getting too repetitive, such as throwing in monsters that require different mechanics to ward off, but towards the end it starts to feel like an overbearing storm that relies a little too much on RNG to decide what groups of monsters attack you, which often have conflicting methods of dispersal (i.e., needing to close your eyes and change a channel to see an image at the same time). This is also one of those games that absolutely requires headphones; otherwise, you won't be able to hear the monster attack cues and respond in time.”
“You get at least an hour of gameplay (unless you're just a natural).”
