The graphics in the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users criticizing the character models and overall visual quality as outdated and detrimental to gameplay. While some elements are described as visually pleasant, the muddy graphics and confusing design choices hinder the overall experience, making it feel more like a chore to play.
- “It is a kind of reloaded Pac-Man with demons and 3D graphics which may not be the best but are pleasant to watch as you can easily see your character and the other elements in the level.”
- “The main character model looks like a walking potato sack because of horrid visuals.”
- “Some levels have more than one gate graphic, so how are you supposed to know which one is the actual gate?”
- “Pac-Man with shooter dynamics tackled on... the big drawback is the muddy graphics make it more of a chore to play than it should be.”

The gameplay is described as repetitive and reminiscent of classic titles like Pac-Man, featuring top-down shooting mechanics. While some players find the premise intriguing and the later levels more engaging, the overall experience is hindered by poor graphics and a lack of originality.
- “Otherwise, for 2 quarters, it might be worth looking into if the base gameplay sounds at all appealing to you.”
- “The central premise (what if Pac-Man was a wizard/priest/whatever?) does result in some interesting gameplay past the boring early levels.”
- “Even worse, the 'stunning 3D graphics' are actually detrimental to gameplay!”
- “Tldr: DOS-era style Pac-Man game with top-down shooting mechanics.”
- “- Repetitive gameplay.”
