Gameplay is generally enjoyable, with players finding value in the 2 hours of content for $4, though many express a desire for more depth. The arcane towers feature a unique splitting mechanic that allows for significant damage output, potentially due to a bug that causes critical hits to propagate, leading to unexpectedly high damage numbers. Overall, while the mechanics are engaging, some players feel the game could benefit from additional content.
“I'm okay with 2 hours of gameplay for $4, yet I wish for more.”
“Arcane towers, in particular, fully upgraded, can clear the map to the edges through the splitting mechanic, even while nominally doing only 4 damage per hit; there may or may not be a bug whereby critical hits in the splitting mechanic 'propagate' down the line, as I not infrequently saw them doing 400+ damage out of their base damage of 4.”
