Gameplay is generally simple and occasionally repetitive, with some players finding it lacking depth and variety, though others appreciate its fast-paced action, balanced items, and humor. While there are limited modes and progression incentives, local co-op and diverse weapon mechanics add some enjoyment. The game shows promise, especially with frequent updates during early access, but may need more quests and goals to sustain long-term engagement.
- “Excellent gameplay and humor.”
- “Fast and dynamic action, traps, weapons, dark humor, simple and fun gameplay, local co-op.”
- “The graphics and style are cute, the gameplay is simple but challenging, the items are balanced.”
- “There's no other modes (Poland is just a reskin), no incentive to move forward (unlocks don't seem to impact gameplay as the most important items are either further in the game or are unlocked at the start) and the game isn't exactly hard to play once you get an idea of how to keep your distance from baddies.”
- “Even if that issue was fixed, the core gameplay was insultingly simple; animations were just the rotation of the controller stick, with all other sprites gliding around on a low-quality 2D tileset.”
- “Gameplay feels a little bit repetitive after a while, probably needs more quests, rewards, and goals to make it worth playing for hours straight (just like any other roguelike or dungeon crawler).”

The music received mixed feedback, with some praising its intense and fitting battle themes, while others found it generic or dull. Overall, the background music tends to be unobtrusive, helping maintain focus on gameplay rather than becoming a distraction.
- “The background music was pretty good.”
- “Though it reeked of generic action music, that didn't really matter as your main focus should be on fighting the enemies on the map, looting new gear, and making sure to avoid traps and other bits and bobs your enemies will throw at you.”
- “The music is really dull and boring, and could be improved.”
- “Though it reeked of generic action music, that didn't really matter as your main focus should be on fighting the enemies on the map, looting new gear, and avoiding traps.”

The humor in the game is praised for its dark and quirky tone, complementing the fast-paced and dynamic gameplay. Players appreciate the unique and amusing twist on traditional mechanics, making the experience both entertaining and highly engaging.
- “Funny, highly addicting, different - while in shooting games you need to control direction so that your enemies miss, here you should control distance - so that you hit with a sword and remain untouched by enemies.”
- “Excellent gameplay and humor.”
- “Fast and dynamic action, traps, weapons, dark humor, simple and fun gameplay, local co-op.”
