The gameplay is a mixed bag, offering enjoyable dungeon-crawling mechanics and cooperative elements that can be fun for a short period, particularly with friends.

While some players appreciate the humor and balance, many express disappointment with the game's basic mechanics and server issues.

- “Everything is shared and the gameplay is all about working together and helping each other out in order to survive.”
- “An amazingly smart and fun game with a well balanced gameplay and witty humour.”

- “Game is no longer supported by the developers, servers are down and gameplay is limited - stay clear of this title!”

The game's optimization is criticized for being unfriendly, with issues such as limited dungeon master mode stages and the need for more bug fixes. Despite these concerns, players still find the game highly entertaining.
- “The game needs a bit more optimization and bug fixes though, but despite those problems it's tremendously entertaining!”
- “My only problems with the game are that the optimization is very unfriendly, and the DM mode recycles the same stage with varied layouts.”
- “My only problems with the game are that the optimization is very unfriendly. The DM mode recycles the same stage with varied layouts, and for some reason, when I play DM mode, I only get to be Dungeon Maestro for 1 stage (I know there's a way to play for more stages; I've seen it in videos!) versus the 3 or 4 that you go through per zone as a hero.”
- “The game needs a bit more optimization and bug fixes, though, but despite those problems, it's tremendously entertaining!”
