The gameplay is generally enjoyable and diverse, featuring a supportive community and a variety of perks and demons. However, several mechanics are criticized for being poorly designed, such as the card recycling system and specific item interactions, which detract from the overall experience. Players suggest significant improvements, including expanding the card pool and reworking problematic mechanics to enhance fun and balance.
- “Fun game so far, the community is nice and the gameplay seems varied and interesting with the different perks and demons.”
- “Certain mechanics are bad and need rework, while other elements should be improved.”
- “41 cards are not enough; I would add at least one more card of each type, drop the cultists by one, and add one altar instead. Additionally, the used card-enemies are put back in the deck, which is not fun since the card got consumed. Why encounter it again? At the same time, the altar cards are thrown away if you encounter a boss in that location. Completely bad mechanics.”
- “Another early broken example is the 'bone' from the easiest first boss, Hellhound. At first, I thought the bone was broken, but it's just another bad mechanic combined with very bad RNG to actually make use of it with the flashlight. There are too many things that need to happen in the perfect order and at the right time to make use of it, which is not fun at all.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and unengaging, particularly criticizing the inclusion of overkill achievements that require repetitive actions, which detracts from the overall gameplay experience.
- “Adding overkill achievements (kill said enemy 100 times) is not only tedious and boring, but also shows how little gameplay value there really is.”
- “The grinding in this game feels endless and lacks any real reward, making it a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.”
- “Repetitive tasks with minimal variation make the grinding aspect feel like a punishment rather than a challenge.”
