The gameplay is criticized for being slow and disengaging, with prolonged combat sequences that become boring. The dice-rolling mechanics feel random and simplistic, and some abilities lack clear usefulness within the gameplay loop. Overall, the execution fails to make the concept compelling or enjoyable.
- “The gameplay is pretty simple, though it took me a few battles to really understand what was happening.”
- “- dice-rolling mechanics.”
- “The problem comes in the execution, where you become a mere spectator, which might not be bad if the combats were fast, but nevertheless the current mechanics lead to eternal combats, where you inevitably end up getting bored.”
- “The potential of the concept is obscured by amateur presentation to go along with dull, mind-numbing gameplay that essentially boils down to rolling random dice and pressing random things on the screen.”
- “Abilities do not always seem useful based on the gameplay loop.”

The graphics in the game are simple and inconsistent, with varying art styles across enemies that some may find rough or unpolished. While not highly immersive or visually cohesive, the low-budget visuals do not detract from the overall engaging gameplay for many players.
- “While Dice & Dungeons is clearly a low-budget production (the art style seems to vary from one enemy to another), it hooked me and didn't let go until I'd completed all of the game's achievements.”
- “It's not the most immersive thing if you've seen them before, not to mention the fact that they aren't the same art styles so there's not much consistency to the game's look.”
- “Graphics are very simple.”
- “The game has very rough graphics, which detracts from the overall experience.”
- “The art style varies from one enemy to another, indicating a low-budget production and lack of visual consistency.”
- “The graphics are very simple and not particularly immersive, especially if you've seen similar styles before.”

The game runs well on the Steam Deck without requiring workarounds, but its optimization could be improved, particularly regarding the visibility of icons under the avatar.
- “I bought the game and played it on my Steam Deck, and while the game is fully playable without needing any special workarounds, there is an issue with optimization for Steam Deck.”
- “Icons under the avatar are not as hard to see but still need optimization.”
