The gameplay is characterized by clean combos and enjoyable mechanics, complemented by smooth animations and appealing art and sound design. While the running mechanic feels somewhat conventional, the game offers a variety of characters with unique abilities that promote teamwork and synergy. Although it can be easy to exploit certain mechanics, the game remains engaging, particularly with challenging modes like the tavern brawl.
“Combos are clean, mechanics are fun, and there's still stuff to add as we can see in the roadmap.”
“Nice art and sound design, smooth gameplay and animations.”
“The game gives you a fighter/berserker character with a transformation mechanic (greatly appreciated by the way) and a lighter, more tactical spear-maiden/healer and buffer with heavy emphasis on teamwork and synergy; you can find something to your liking here.”
“The game is a ton of fun for the price, but it's a bit too easy to exploit the mechanics even on the hardest difficulty. However, the tavern brawl is insanely challenging.”

The game's story is described as linear and lacking depth, with alternate quests failing to enhance the narrative experience. While some users find the story interesting, overall, it does not stand out compared to other beat 'em ups available on Steam.
“Interesting story”
“The game is already very linear in its story, and the alternate 'quests' just don't seem to do much.”
“So a big no from me on the RPG elements, the story, and the open-world exploration, and combine that with middling combat, and you have a game that is easily outshined by many of the beat 'em ups (2D and 3D) that are on Steam already.”
