The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and a lack of tutorial guidance, thrusting players into a post-apocalyptic world where they must independently navigate mechanics and collect monster eggs to settle debts. While the scale of the environment can lead to excessive running and some mechanics remain unclear, players generally find the gameplay manageable after a brief adjustment period, with particular praise for the engaging "gamba" mechanic.
- “Love the gamba mechanic though, probably the best part of the game.”
- “The gameplay overall is simple but juxtaposed with a lack of any real tutorial, mercilessly dropping you into a seemingly post-apocalyptic world where you're forced to figure everything out on your own while collecting monster eggs to pay off your debts.”
- “My only real negative is the scale leading you to run around a lot, and the lack of tutorial/direction, but it's easily figured out with a few minutes of gameplay.”
- “It feels like a patchwork of models, with a high degree of overlap with the previous gameplay.”

The game is reported to be quite unstable, with numerous bugs and glitches that significantly impact gameplay and performance. While some players find it enjoyable in a casual setting, especially given its low price, they caution that it requires a tolerance for its many technical issues. Overall, the consensus is that the game's stability is lacking, making it a less favorable choice compared to other options.
- “After spending two hours in the game experimenting with glitches, bugs, and cheesing enough money to go on safari hunts instead of searching for eggs, I can confidently say: why play this game when you can play Lethal Company?”
- “Long story short: the game is buggy, repetitive, and a clear imitation of a more enjoyable game.”
- “It's absolutely worth a shot with a few friends at its low price of free and small download size of ~1.5GB, in my opinion, provided you go in knowing it's quite buggy and some areas have some pretty intense performance hits.”
