The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of enemy variety and special mechanics, leading to a repetitive experience. While some players enjoy the core mechanics and fast-paced nature, many feel the game lacks depth and meaningful interactions, suggesting the addition of roguelike elements, more faction variety, and improved tutorials to enhance the overall experience. Overall, the gameplay is seen as solid but in need of more variety and engaging mechanics to keep players invested.

- “I'm enjoying the infinite delve mechanic and the new game+ mechanic.”
