    The gameplay is praised for its solid and inspired mechanics, featuring unique elements like a day-night cycle and demon hunting instead of traditional star collection.

Overall, it offers a fun and competitive experience, especially when played with friends.

    • “The actual gameplay is awesome; instead of stars like Mario Party, you hunt demons.”
    • “The day-night cycle makes the game move quickly, and the battle mechanics are really unique and fun with friends.”

  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is a significant issue, with reports of lag during minigames that can render them unplayable, particularly when played at night. Players also note that some minigames are overly lengthy and suggest the need for features to streamline gameplay, such as idle mechanics. Additionally, there are complaints about a lack of character customization options and a desire for a more extensive character roster.

    • “At night you fight demons, you get extra slayer points based on your performance.”
    • “Overall optimization could save the game at certain points.”
    • “Cons: optimization (the game lags in some minigames and it really makes it tough to play them or makes them unplayable in worse cases), some minigames drag on too long & may need some fixing (example: badminton), if you want minigames you gotta try to keep it daytime as much as possible, turns last too long sometimes (some type of idle feature would help), not enough room for 'stamps'/voicelines, not enough skins/cosmetics for the character roster (recolors at least, if there isn't enough from the source material you can get creative or allow us to recolor or make our own), while the roster is okay I feel like there could be more characters to play as (joke characters, side characters, etc. it's a party game, go nuts).”
