The gameplay in "Danger Gazers" is generally well-received, praised for its solid mechanics, responsive controls, and unique character options that enhance the experience. However, some players express concerns about optimization and the need for additional movement mechanics, such as a roll or evade feature, to improve combat dynamics, especially in multiplayer scenarios. Overall, while the game offers a fun and unpredictable adventure with a vibrant art style, there are areas for improvement in enemy interactions and player mobility.
“Plenty of unique and gameplay-changing characters.”
“Between its retro and funky design and art style and the completely crackers atmosphere and generally enjoyable gameplay, it is a game that brings you on one hell of an adventure.”
“The gameplay is responsive and controls well with keyboard and mouse.”
“Some of the enemies are fast enough to hit you before you can move out of the way because they start their aggro mechanics before you have seen them, especially in multiplayer.”
“If the player had any one of the following three: moves faster, had a few more health ticks, or had a roll mechanic, the sacrifice would work well, but as it stands it is a complete detriment.”
“It has its annoyances along with designs and mechanics that could have been done better.”

“Style of everything: environment and enemy visuals (with tons of their variety), game progression on the campaign map, looting system, art of special characters' 'rooms'.”
“Maybe the color scheme of the graphics and randomly generated levels does the trick, but I love the similar feeling these two share.”
“The graphics are lacking.”
“Personally, I'm not a fan of the CRT overlaid scanline aesthetic, so I changed it in the settings.”
