Dungeon Exiles offers a strategic autobattler experience with RPG mechanics and a unique path system, providing engaging gameplay that encourages players to optimize their builds. However, the game suffers from a lack of documentation on its mechanics, leading to confusion, and while initially enjoyable, it can become repetitive due to limited content and depth. Overall, the gameplay is fun and visually appealing, but the impact of player choices on outcomes can feel unclear.
“Dungeon Exiles is an autobattler, offering a deeply strategic gameplay experience with semi-complex customization.”
“Fun autobattler with RPG mechanics and elements and a Slay the Spire path system.”
“Very fun auto battler with rich mechanics.”
“Biggest gripe I would have with it is the lack of documentation as to its mechanics, an obvious example being wondering what's the difference between evade, dodge, parry, and block (which are then subdivided into attack and spell versions).”
“There are also issues with core gameplay.”
“There are many mechanics from other games that come together in Dungeon Exiles.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, often lacking the rewarding feeling typically associated with such mechanics. The six-tier difficulty system is seen as unnecessary, as it forces players to engage in prolonged grinding without sufficient upgrades or satisfaction. Overall, the grinding experience is described as a long and somewhat frustrating endeavor.
“It can feel a bit grindy at times, but the rewards make it worthwhile.”
“The grind is long, but it offers a sense of accomplishment.”
“While it may be tedious at moments, the grinding experience adds depth to the game.”
“One long, tedious grind.”
“The game tends to make up for its lack of depth with sheer repetitiveness, yet without the grinding satisfaction of a meta upgrade system.”
“The six-tier difficulty system is unnecessary, locking higher difficulties behind tedious progression.”

The game offers high replayability through its combination of deep skill mechanics and roguelike procedural dungeons, making it engaging for players. However, some users feel that it may not sustain long-term replay value.
“It takes the best parts of Path of Exile’s skill depth and combines it with roguelike procedural dungeon elements for a game that’s highly replayable and endlessly engaging.”
“That being said, it's enjoyable enough, but I don't see this having much replayability.”
