Gameplay is criticized for its lack of depth, featuring minimal enemy types and mechanics that have little impact on the overall experience. Players have limited control, primarily choosing a deck and a single upgrade card per level, with no advanced card selection options. However, the game does offer a gradual introduction to its mechanics, leading to a more frantic pace as players progress, and includes helpful in-game explanations for clarity.
- “It's a slow burn at first as the game introduces you gently to its mechanics, but after an hour of play, when you have leveled up and gathered enough cards, you suddenly find yourself progressing much further and things can become fairly frantic.”
- “The blend of deck building mechanics and tower defense is just right.”
- “Also, whenever I had a question or didn't understand a game mechanic, there is always an explanation from the in-game helper or a key indicator to try it out yourself.”
- “There are no gameplay features on any of the maps—just a single random enemy path.”
- “The only control you have as a player is to select your deck and weapons at the beginning of the run and select one upgrade card every time you level up (most of these are just +10% stat boosts, with very few having any mechanical effect).”
- “There are no card selection mechanics like rerolling, banishing, or freezing.”

Players note that while they may enjoy grinding and meta progression, the game ultimately lacks variety, leading to repetitive experiences in each run regardless of the chosen weapon or ability.
- “Even for someone like me who doesn't mind grinding at all and loves to hunt for meta progression, it literally has nothing more to offer but hunting for meta progress. Every single run feels exactly the same as the one before, no matter the weapon or ability.”
