The gameplay is generally described as addictive and engaging, featuring a mix of familiar mechanics and fresh ideas, complemented by stunning graphics and smooth combat. However, some players note a lack of variety in strategies and mechanics, leading to repetitive gameplay, particularly in co-op modes where competition for resources can detract from the experience. While the crafting system adds depth, there are concerns about uneven difficulty and a lack of unique features in a crowded genre.
“It’s got a great mix of familiar mechanics and fresh ideas.”
“The gameplay loop is straightforward, but man, it's addictive.”
“The cooperative gameplay adds a whole new layer of fun.”
“As for gameplay itself, it is a survivor game... not a whole lot else to say but the game doesn't seem to do anything to spice up a bloated genre.”
“No unique mechanics so far, just hoards of enemies filling your screen while you hope you can outpace the volume of enemies with getting enough RNG to put together a decent combination of abilities to clear them.”
“Co-op feels barebones, difficulty is uneven, build and gameplay variety isn't there.”

The game's soundtrack has received mixed reviews; while some praise it as a killer addition that complements the intense gameplay, others find it unmemorable and lacking the energy needed to keep players engaged, with some even describing it as dull.

The optimization of the game appears to be inconsistent; while some users report smooth performance even with numerous enemies on screen, others experience significant performance drops during early gameplay with multiple mobs present.
“The game runs smoothly, even with a lot of enemies on screen.”
“The performance is going down really fast in early runs with a bunch of mobs on the screen.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game enjoyable, especially when playing with friends, though it can feel repetitive at times. The harsh difficulty scaling encourages grinding lower levels for easier coin acquisition, as attempting harder levels can lead to minimal rewards after significant time investment.
“The difficulty scaling is quite harsh, too, making grinding the first level repeatedly for easy coins currently the best way to make yourself stronger, as dying on a harder level 5-10 minutes in may sometimes net you virtually no coins.”
“A bit grindy sometimes, but worth it.”
