Gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating the depth of combat mechanics and exploration reminiscent of 'Dark Souls,' while others criticize the limited RPG elements, poor control scheme, and frustrating user interface that detracts from the overall experience. Despite the appealing graphics and original world-building, the gameplay can feel unplayable for some due to its design flaws.
