The gameplay features a solid core loop that aligns with traditional dungeon keeper mechanics, providing an enjoyable experience overall. However, players find the elemental mechanic cumbersome and note a lack of variety and options throughout the game, which may limit long-term engagement.
“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 lacks replayability due to its single map, absence of challenges, and static enemy waves and bosses, resulting in a repetitive experience.
“There isn't a lot of replayability currently; just one map, no challenges or anything. You dig your own tunnels, and waves, bosses, and new entrances are static.”
