The core gameplay loop is enjoyable and incorporates familiar mechanics typical of dungeon keeper games, providing a fun experience overall. However, players find the elemental mechanic cumbersome and note a lack of variety in gameplay options, leading to a somewhat repetitive experience.
“The core gameplay loop is good.”
“Been super fun so far and seems to have all the usual mechanics you look for in a dungeon keeper kind of game.”
“The elemental mechanic is just a pain, having to shuffle them each wave.”
“The gameplay doesn't really change much and there aren't really a lot of options while playing through the game.”

The game currently offers limited replayability due to its single map, lack of challenges, and static elements such as waves, bosses, and entrances, which do not encourage varied gameplay experiences.
“There isn't a lot of replayability currently; just one map, no challenges or anything. You dig your own tunnels, and the waves, bosses, and new entrances are static.”
“The game lacks variety, making it hard to find reasons to play again after the initial run.”
“Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to return, as the experience feels repetitive and unchanging.”
