The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of engagement, poor hit detection, and frustrating boss mechanics that rely on repetitive attack patterns and excessive health. Players feel that the difficulty stems from flawed mechanics rather than strategic challenge, leading to a frustrating experience that detracts from overall enjoyment. While some mechanics, like healing orbs, show potential, their absence during critical boss fights further exacerbates the issues.
“There is a mechanic of picking up pink orbs to heal your commander (and later on, summon the riders) that plays a big part in the parts between bosses.”
“Gameplay itself is boring, hit detection is strange at best, the bosses have 1-2 attack patterns and possess ungodly amounts of health.”
“Difficulty in a game should not lie in poor mechanics to be adjusted to, but rather in the strategy you need to develop to beat the game.”
“If the mechanics weren't so damn shoddy, this game would be excellent.”
