The gameplay is primarily a roguelike dungeon crawler featuring 1v1 combat, with mechanics reminiscent of Undertale's battle system. While the pixel art is praised and the gameplay can be enjoyable, many players find it simplistic, repetitive, and lacking depth, particularly due to the absence of a leveling system and the ease of play even on harder difficulties. Overall, it offers a satisfying experience for a short duration, but may not hold long-term appeal.

“Step into the shadows, fellow adventurers, for Dungeon Vixens beckons with its dark allure and bewitching gameplay.”
“This game has very beautifully done pixel art, and while the gameplay is simple and just a little bit repetitive, it isn't horrible or unbearable.”
“Every single gameplay element is present at the most rudimentary level possible.”

“There is no leveling mechanic whatsoever.”

The game's story is generally perceived as minimal and lacking depth, with many reviewers noting that it could benefit from a longer narrative or more engaging content. While the main plot can be completed in about two hours and is described as straightforward, the lore primarily focuses on the devil queen's background, leaving players wanting more. Overall, the storytelling is considered simple and underdeveloped, with limited exploration of the game's world.
“About 2 hours to finish the main plot, which is satisfying.”
“There is a story in this game; it's told through the cut scenes when you enter the dungeon and through signs/notes in the dungeon.”
“I haven't made it far, but the story seems pretty straightforward.”
“This game made little sense story-wise.”
“Barely any story, and the lore seems to only explain why the devil queen is the way she is.”
“It definitely could have been more, either with a longer story or have more going for it.”

Overall, the graphics cater to those who appreciate a nostalgic look rather than modern, flashy visuals.
“I love the art style of this game; it reminds me of Wolfenstein 3D.”
“Plus, it has a comfy retro art style.”
“This is not a game that will appeal to people who expect flashy graphics and all the modern quality of life features most games now have.”

The game lacks background music during gameplay, which some players find confusing, especially since there is music in the main menu. While the sound effects, like dripping water, are appreciated, many feel that a subtle background melody would enhance the overall experience and reduce the need for players to provide their own music.
“The sound effects of dripping water are cool but feel unaccompanied; a low-pitched slow melody in the background would enhance the experience and allow me to play the game without needing to provide my own background music.”
“There isn't any background music in the game, but there is for the main menu, which is a bit confusing.”
“The sound effects of dripping water are cool but feel unaccompanied; a low-pitched slow melody in the background would let me play the game without the need of providing my own background music.”
