  • gameplay13 mentions

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable and features a light, fun atmosphere with significant build potential and quick unlocks. However, it suffers from a lack of variety, balance issues, and frustrating mechanics, such as ineffective blocking and overpowered enemy attacks that can lead to instant deaths. While the core mechanics are solid, the overall experience is marred by these shortcomings, particularly in solo play and loot progression.

    • “The gameplay is light and fun.”
    • “Lots of build potential, you unlock things quickly, gameplay is exactly what it looks like.”
    • “The gameplay and mechanics are nice.”
    • “All in all, I have to rate this negatively, despite the potential and really liking the gameplay so far.”
    • “We got some fun out of this game, but it's severely lacking in variety and needs some gameplay/balance tweaks.”
    • “Also, the blocking mechanic is bothersome; you block and still get hit through, which is frustrating.”
  • stability8 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent game-breaking bugs that cause freezes, particularly after boss battles and during online co-op sessions. Players report a lack of content and insufficient developer support, with many experiencing persistent glitches that hinder gameplay. Overall, the game's stability is a major concern, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “There are game-breaking bugs that, after the first boss is beaten, cause the game to freeze and display 'waiting for players,' forcing you to close the game.”
    • “On top of that, there is a large list of fixes already, and the game is still very buggy.”
    • “Cool game, but full of bugs. Playing single player, it freezes at an info pop-up saying 'waiting for other players to continue,' or a button doesn't work and the pop-up is stuck on your screen, blocking half your sight.”
  • graphics7 mentions

    The graphics of the game are praised for their charming and beautiful art style, with some comparisons to other titles like "Enter the Gungeon" and "Ittle Dew." The animation and sound effects are also highlighted as wonderful, contributing to an overall enjoyable visual experience. However, some users find the comic style graphics to be merely "okay" and somewhat generic.

    • “The art style, animation, and sound is wonderful all around.”
    • “Fun game with an awesome art style.”
    • “Beautiful art style.”
    • “The comic style graphics are okay, but they don't stand out in a modern gaming landscape.”
    • “Feels like 'Enter the Gungeon' with 'Ittle Dew' aesthetics, which may not appeal to everyone.”
    • “While the game mechanics are solid, the graphics leave much to be desired.”
  • grinding6 mentions

    Players have noted that the grinding in the game can become tedious and repetitive, with some expressing frustration over long wait times in multiplayer and a lack of engaging gameplay. While there is a sense of progression, many feel that the grind detracts from the overall experience, making it difficult to stay motivated, especially when faced with bugs and control issues.

    • “Big warning: I stopped playing the game when, after 40 hours of grinding, a bug with the bomb-throwing zombies kept me from advancing.”
    • “This is very disappointing, and I am certainly not grinding another 40 hours while hoping the bug won't appear again.”
    • “Overall, the game feels too easy, grindy, and irrelevant, and it's hard to want to push through it again and again to get another try at the last boss.”
  • replayability6 mentions

    The game's replayability is mixed; while it features randomly generated levels that enhance replay value, some players find that once completed, the basic boss patterns and character/item progression can diminish the incentive to replay. It offers enjoyable multiplayer experiences and varied loadouts, but overall, its longevity may depend on individual preferences and play styles.

    • “Randomly generated levels with complete replayability.”
    • “This game is simplistic and short, but it offers some replay value depending on the loadout you build through random purchases and finds in the game - similar to Risk of Rain.”
    • “Great and fun game with really good replay value; it's also fun with friends. It can be a bit challenging, so if you're not into games like The Binding of Isaac, you might want to reconsider.”
    • “Replayability on completion is not great as boss patterns are fairly basic and character/item progression might make it too easy.”
    • “This game is simplistic and short, but it has some replay value dependent on the loadout that you build through random purchases and finds in the game - similar to Risk of Rain.”
    • “Pick this game up if it's on sale to play a couple of hours with some friends, but there is no replay value once you beat it.”
  • music5 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it well-suited and unobtrusive, many criticize it as boring, repetitive, and lacking the energy needed to enhance the gameplay experience. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as generic and not particularly engaging, detracting from an otherwise fun game.

    • “The music, sound, and particle effects are well suited to the game.”
    • “The game mechanics are solid, the music is unobtrusive, though a little bit generic, and the comic style graphics are okay.”
    • “Boring, repetitive music.”
    • “Fun game and great to play, but the background music is kind of subpar, lacking, boring, and repetitive.”
    • “You need music to get you hyped, not to bore you.”
  • humor3 mentions

    The humor in the game is initially entertaining, featuring great voice acting and amusing dialogue, but it tends to wear thin as the gameplay progresses, leading to frustration rather than laughter. Overall, while it has its funny moments, the humor may not sustain its appeal throughout the entire experience.

    • “It's like Link and Castle Crashers tried for a Dark Souls baby, and it came out dumb but funny.”
    • “Great voice acting, funny dialogue.”
  • story2 mentions

    The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth, with players noting that there is no engaging narrative to follow. Additionally, technical issues such as lost quest progress and experience points further detract from the overall experience.

    • “Every region has different monster skins, but the attacks are almost identical and there's no story whatsoever.”
    • “For now, I have to give it a negative review as several times my wife and I have spent upwards of 1-2 hours playing, then need to quit and find that all our quest progress and experience points are lost upon the next start of the game.”
