The gameplay is praised for its depth and intelligent design, offering a rewarding experience as players learn enemy patterns and master controls, reminiscent of titles like Dark Souls and Sekiro. While the mechanics may seem simple at first, they reveal a surprising complexity that enhances combat and platforming challenges. However, the difficulty in mechanical controls can be a barrier for some players, potentially limiting playtime.
- “The game is deep in the gameplay; it's absolutely clear that it is conceived in an intelligent and logical way. It's pleasing to learn the patterns of the enemies, and it's nice to reach a certain place and obtain a bonus after some hardcore platforming.”
- “I couldn't help but be enchanted by the skill cap of the gameplay and all the cool things you can do as a draco knight once you master the controls.”
- “I definitely will say that the game presents itself as deceptively simple at first, but behind that is a gameplay system with a surprising amount of depth.”
- “The main drawback of the game and why I didn't put as many hours into it as I'd like is the mechanical control difficulty.”
- “I emphasize the phrase 'general mechanics' as the difficulty each boss possesses is not exclusively unique; rather, each boss becomes an instance of learning how fighting in this game works, and shallow mechanics are not introduced for specific purposes, very similar to the Sekiro experience.”
- “There are only really a few additional mechanics you gain in addition to jumping that are related to the platforming aspect, and likewise, you run into the same type of obstacles a lot, so the variety really comes into how those obstacles are structured.”

Players appreciate the game's flexibility in combat, allowing for extensive grinding to refine skills and timing, or opting for a more casual approach by dodging attacks. This balance between grinding and platforming enhances the overall gameplay experience.
