The gameplay is praised for its well-executed VR interface and charming visuals, reminiscent of classic dungeon keeper games, but is generally considered shallow and lacking in depth, with only a few levels and limited replay value. While controls and interactions feel solid, the tower defense mechanics are straightforward and offer little innovation beyond the VR perspective. Overall, it shows potential but may feel underdeveloped for some players.
- “The game has 3 levels, each playable on 3 difficulties, and you gain experience to level up to unlock better minions and defenses to summon. The idea is fantastic and the gameplay feels great.”
- “Granted, I'm not sure there's anything essentially unique about the gameplay itself, except the VR interface is really well done and there's nothing like watching tiny goblins and knights fighting in front of you like a bunch of miniature toys.”
- “Love this game, brilliant graphics and gameplay. You can tell straight away when a game has bags of potential; the dungeon lighting is impressive and can't wait to see what they add to this little gem.”
- “However, for now it's got about 1 hour of gameplay in it as a pretty run-of-the-mill tower defense.”
- “The only really innovative element is the VR perspective - the actual gameplay is very simple and offers little in terms of either replay value, storyline, or moments that make you go 'wow'.”
- “The visual/audio style is spot on, a love letter to the Dungeon Keeper games, but the gameplay itself is more of a traditional tower defense wave attack game.”
