The gameplay is characterized by a straightforward loop that combines clicker mechanics with dungeon-crawling RPG elements, offering a polished experience with decent pixel graphics and a good soundtrack. However, many players find the mechanics shallow and repetitive, with limited depth and variety, leading to a brief playtime of around 2-3 hours. While the game has potential, it lacks the challenge and strategic engagement that could elevate it beyond a simple, enjoyable experience.

- “Duncrush, developed and published by Golden Pick Games, presents itself as a compact yet engaging fusion of clicker mechanics and dungeon-crawling RPG progression.”
- “The gameplay is deliberately straightforward, relying on rapid interactions and steady power gain, but it layers atop this simplicity an appealing sense of momentum.”
- “I feel like the gameplay will likely be quite simple, as we’ll probably just follow the same path with not many options for different ways to play.”
- “There are attempts at replayability via an infinite or rogue-like mode unlocked after completing the main run, but they offer only minor variety and don’t shake up the basic gameplay loop.”
- “The gameplay loop never changes, the mercenaries seem to get stuck all the time, the item system does not add anything extra.”

The game offers limited replayability, primarily due to a lack of meaningful progression and variety in its gameplay loop. While there are attempts to enhance replay value through an infinite or rogue-like mode, these features do not significantly alter the experience, leaving players wanting more in terms of achievements and engaging choices.
- “But I think it at least needs more achievements for replayability.”
- “There are attempts at replayability via an infinite or rogue-like mode unlocked after completing the main run, but they offer only minor variety and don’t shake up the basic gameplay loop.”
- “But if you’re hoping for satisfying progression, meaningful choices, or replay value, it’s hard not to see this as wasted potential.”
- “It's somewhere in the middle, and lacks a real sense of progression and replayability because of it.”

Overall, players find the grinding in the game to be manageable, with most progress feeling rewarding rather than tedious. While some aspects, like the loot system, can become repetitive, the game offers a relatively short completion time of around 2.5 to 3 hours, with minimal grinding required for achievements.

- “I appreciate that the grind is rewarding and not just a mindless task.”
- “The grind feels meaningful, as it contributes to my character's growth and progression.”
- “Fun game that takes about 2.5-3 hours to get all the achievements. Once you have completed the base game, aside from grinding the rest of the achievements which take about an extra 10 minutes, there's not much to do.”
- “Loot system is initially interesting but ends up being just grindy and uninteresting.”
- “The total time (~90 minutes at the time of writing) does not include the ~2 hours in the demo that transferred over, but part of that was a bit of grinding not necessary in the full game.”
