The gameplay is characterized by charming graphics and addictive mechanics, though its minimalist design may frustrate some players due to limited unit control and a lack of detailed explanations for its mechanics. While the strategic element of upgrading land adds depth, many combat mechanics feel somewhat shallow, requiring players to figure out certain aspects on their own. Overall, the game offers an enjoyable experience, albeit with some potential drawbacks.
“Charming graphics and incredibly addictive gameplay.”
“Upgrading your acquired land and making the land quality change the possible rewards was a great idea; I really like this particular mechanic, since it rewards strategy.”
“Many combat mechanics seem interesting but a bit shallow.”
“I enjoyed the game overall, but the minimalism might be a sticking point for some people: you have very limited control over your units, and the game doesn't explain its mechanics in a lot of detail, so be ready to puzzle some mechanics out for yourself.”

The game offers limited replayability, especially for a roguelike, as it fails to introduce significant changes or new experiences between playthroughs. While it is not expected to match the replay value of titles like "The Binding of Isaac" or "Slay the Spire," players note that the lack of variation makes subsequent runs feel repetitive.
“The game doesn't add much replayability for being categorized as a roguelike. It's not expected to add as much replayability as The Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Slay the Spire, or other big roguelikes, but in its current state, it barely changes anything from the first to the second playthrough.”
