The gameplay is generally praised for its innovative mechanics, such as "intimate mode" and "ripped clothes," which enhance the dungeon-crawling experience. While the core loop of leveling up and strategizing in battles is engaging, some players find the grind tedious and the gameplay can become repetitive over time. Overall, the game successfully combines solid mechanics with an engaging story, though a restoration patch is recommended to fully enjoy the experience.
- “The core gameplay loop is going into a dungeon, gaining levels, losing levels by the end of the game (but keeping your stats you only get for every new level you gain), which is rogue-like.”
- “The story is engaging and long, the grind is not overly annoying, the difficulty is quite balanced, and all of the unique mechanics are quite well implemented, providing a different experience.”
- “Don't know what to say other than a very enjoyable core gameplay loop that keeps me engaged with the game even when there aren't any distractions on screen.”
- “The grind is so horrible in this game that it takes the focus of the story and gameplay away from the game itself.”

Players generally find the grinding in the game excessive, with many feeling it detracts from the engaging story and character design. While some appreciate the mindless nature of grinding as a quick and fun activity, others report spending a significant portion of their playtime on it, leading to frustration and the use of cheats to alleviate the grind. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a major drawback, with a consensus that it overshadows the narrative experience.
- “Not too grindy, but skills and items are fairly needed to progress.”
- “The characters are really well designed and I want to get hooked on the story, but I'm wasting more time grinding than focusing on the story.”
- “Feels like a high production value game, and the main drawback is that grinding for quests takes forever (hope you remember where literally every enemy is and have the right RNG to meet them).”
- “Like 90% of the game is either grinding levels or grinding enemy drops for weapons, quests, armor, or grinding out character quests.”

The music in the game is a standout feature, offering a diverse and atmospheric soundtrack that enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the variety of tracks that match different moods and settings, from mysterious melodies in the fairy forest to character-specific themes that reflect their personalities. Overall, the well-crafted music contributes significantly to the game's immersive quality.
- “The music part was also another pleasant surprise, starting with the initial menu which has no music, only forest sound effects, but as soon as we go through the first menu, we are greeted by a large repertoire of songs that make up the pleasant soundtrack throughout the game.”
- “The soundtrack is nice to listen to and helps build the atmosphere of the scenes.”
- “It’s also pretty varied, featuring songs that give a mysterious vibe when exploring the fairies’ forest; gloomy tracks during the darker moments of the game; or jazzy tracks when it’s time to get down and dirty.”
- “Moreover, each character has themes fitting with their personalities and backgrounds, like a harpsichord track for the rich, sheltered girl; an upbeat track for the bartender; or a military-like song for the female knight.”
- “Artwork, dialogue, music, gameplay - Dungeon Town is one of those rare eroge that isn't just good in spite of its genre, but embraces its roots and creates a super memorable game in doing so.”
