The gameplay of the game draws strong comparisons to classic Legend of Zelda titles, featuring simple mechanics and a focus on exploration and item discovery. However, players have noted significant frustrations with enemy AI and server responsiveness, which can lead to challenging encounters and a feeling of unresponsiveness. While the leveling system and diverse enemy models add depth, the overall experience can be marred by the need to navigate difficult combat scenarios.
- “The gameplay perspective and dungeon design immediately reminded me of the classic Legend of Zelda games.”
- “The more players level their account (through playing the game), the more powerful enemy models they will unlock, who attack and move faster. Different enemy models are not only cosmetic changes, but alter the gameplay.”
- “Lots to discover in this game, simple mechanics but lots of fun; discovering new items and powers is what keeps me going.”
- “The pixel visuals fit the game well and the different findable/purchasable objects and weapons give a nice incentive to grind mobs, but the most important part probably remains the gameplay, and that is quite flawed in Dungeon Royale.”
- “Which makes the gameplay very frustrating as you need to bait enemies in corners, so when you meet another player, you aren't half dead already.”
- “I'm sure this mechanic is intentional, but it makes your life a living hell, especially since, as mentioned earlier, the player-led monsters can run and hide from you, or team up and make it impossible to progress.”

- “The soundtrack was also pretty decent, even though it definitely lacks some variety.”
- “The game really needs some menu sounds and maybe some ambience or music there as well.”
