The gameplay is rooted in the familiar mechanics of mystery dungeon games, featuring a unique fang system that allows players to utilize monster abilities and explore procedurally generated dungeons. While the game offers engaging puzzle floors and strategic elements, some players feel that it lacks variety and depth compared to other roguelikes, leading to potential monotony over time. Overall, it appeals to fans of the genre but may not stand out significantly in a crowded market.
- “The game is very similar to normal mystery dungeon games with the cool mechanic of using monster abilities through the use of their dropped fangs to explore and navigate the procedurally generated floors of the 3 non-DLC dungeons. You can bring out a few items from the dungeons to your next run, actually you could bring an inventory full of them, except to the last dungeon where you can't bring any.”
- “The game also has 50 puzzle floors called Fairy Garden which are very good for learning the game's mechanics and testing your intellect. Some are very, very hard, but there are guides you can use after your level of frustration goes through the roof.”
- “Cute roguelike with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-styled gameplay.”
- “There are plenty of turn-based dungeon crawler roguelikes on Steam that have much better pacing and gameplay to offer.”
- “The brave mechanic that encourages you to fight in open areas is such a stupid idea.”
- “And the gameplay is not fun and varied enough to justify a roguelike over a roguelite.”

The story in Dragonfangz is characterized by a whimsical yet confusing narrative, featuring a quest for a legendary sword that players never actually encounter. The dialogue suffers from poor English translation, leading to nonsensical and comical exchanges, while the game includes minimal story events between dungeon floors. Overall, the narrative feels disjointed and lacks depth, overshadowed by gameplay mechanics.
- “Dragonfangz has a fancy title, the name is supposed to be the fabled sword you are on a quest to find, but you, as a player, never actually see it or use it or battle. 'It's too powerful,' your fairy companion whines. 'You won't learn anything if you are overpowered,' the wise tree guardian says as he nods in his own selfish satisfaction.”

- “This is a rogue-lite dungeon crawler with some really bad English translation, making the story nonsensical and comical at the same time. Sometimes the characters you're talking to in the dungeons have differently spelled names in the very dialogue the character is speaking as you're reading it.”
- “Story: surprisingly, there are little story events between floors.”

The music in the game is generally described as decent but repetitive, with a limited selection of tunes that fail to leave a lasting impression. While the sound effects are considered nice, they lack memorability compared to other titles, such as Darkest Dungeon. Overall, the music contributes to the experience but does not stand out significantly.
- “The art style, graphics, and music are decent.”
- “The art is nice, the sound is okay, and the music is decent, but since there are only a few tunes, it gets repetitive.”
- “The music and sound effects are nice, but not too memorable.”
- “Comparing it to something like Darkest Dungeon, none of the songs or ambient noises or effects really stuck with me much.”
- “The music is okay, but the entire UI feels like it's straight away ripped from a mobile game.”

The graphics are generally well-received, with users praising the art style and overall visual quality, rating it an 8/10. However, some find the aesthetic to be more suited for a younger audience, which detracts from their enjoyment.
- “The art style, graphics, and music are decent.”
- “Graphics: 8/10.”
- “The only cons to me are the pre-teen aesthetic and voice; I don't like it. Besides that, the price of the DLC is expensive, but maybe in the future I'll buy the Cave of Fangs and/or the Inferno Hollow.”

The game's humor is characterized by the charming and talkative interactions between the main heroine and her companion, which add a delightful touch to the gameplay. While some users noted that the translation may be slightly off, it often contributes to the humor, making the experience enjoyable and engaging. Overall, the game is described as a cute and funny roguelike reminiscent of "Shiren the Wanderer."
- “This game is fun! If you ever play Shiren the Wanderer, it's like that game: turn-based, monsters move when you move, but the main heroine and her companion are quite talkative and funny. It's quite charming.”
- “The translation seems a bit off, but I don't mind; it's not bad and it may even be funny the way it is.”
- “It's a cute and funny Shiren-styled roguelike; the translation is very understandable as well.”

Players note that the game features a more pronounced grinding element compared to western titles, with a significant reliance on RNG affecting item availability and spawn rates, which can make progression feel more tedious.

- “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it hard to stay motivated, especially when progress feels slow and rewards are minimal.”
