The gameplay is praised for its engaging deckbuilding mechanics, drawing inspiration from titles like "Slay the Spire" and "Monster Train," while introducing unique twists and diverse hero synergies. Players appreciate the balance and smoothness of the mechanics, although some note that the game could benefit from further bug fixes. Overall, it offers a compelling rogue-like experience with a rich, thematic setting.
- “This game is a very well-made twist on both Monster Train and Slay the Spire, with different enemies and modified mechanics, expertly balanced.”
- “This game has Slay the Spire's addicting rogue-like deckbuilding gameplay on the deliverance side, Monster Train's wave fighting mana-based combat with a little rogue-like deckbuilding sprinkled in, all wrapped together in a very Darkest Dungeon-esque setting.”

- “Solid gameplay, needs a little more time to work all the bugs.”
- “One greatly resembles Slay the Spire with original twists and key differences in mechanics.”
