8 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay has been criticized for its execution, leading to prolonged and tedious combat that can make players feel like mere spectators. While the mechanics are simple, they often lack engagement and depth, with many abilities feeling ineffective and reliant on random dice-rolling, resulting in a dull experience. Overall, the potential of the gameplay concept is hindered by amateur presentation and repetitive mechanics.

“The actual gameplay is thus:”
“The problem comes in the execution, where you become a mere spectator. This might not be bad if the combats were fast, but the current mechanics lead to eternal combats, where you inevitably end up getting bored.”
“The potential of the concept is obscured by amateur presentation, resulting in 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.”
