The gameplay is characterized by a brisk 20-30 minute experience that, while enjoyable, lacks challenge and replay value typical of shmup/bullet hell games. It features standard mechanics like bomb effects and a well-executed teleportation system, complemented by great art and music, but ultimately feels disjointed without a cohesive element to tie everything together.
- “This is an interesting bullet hell; the teleportation mechanic works well and the sheer bizarreness is worth a look.”
- “Great art, wonderful music, good core gameplay design, good controls; there is just nothing stitching it all together.”
- “This is an interesting bullet hell; the teleportation mechanic works well, and the sheer bizarreness is worth a look.”
- “The game also includes seemingly random 'bomb' / screen-clearing effects that you can use if you have enough MP, so all of the staples of shmup gameplay are present.”

The music in Eldr Legacy is praised for its uniqueness and complements the game's funky, eastern-inspired aesthetic. Each of the five levels features distinct musical themes that enhance the overall experience, making it particularly appealing to fans of niche shmup genres. However, the game's short playtime and limited replay value may deter broader audiences.
- “Eldr Legacy includes a set of 5 levels, each with their own unique music, backgrounds, and bosses to defeat.”
- “Long story short, if you like funky and strange shmups with an eastern tinge to their content, music, or enemy design, you'll probably enjoy this game.”
- “Great art, wonderful music, good core gameplay design, and good controls.”

The game offers a brief 20-30 minutes of gameplay with minimal challenge and little replay value, making it less appealing for those outside its niche audience. While fans of quirky shmups may enjoy the experience, the lack of co-op and limited content significantly restrict its replayability.
- “The game is not very challenging in the grand scheme of shmup/bullet hell games and has little to no replay value, but I did find myself chugging through its brisk 20-30 minutes of gameplay and enjoying what it had to offer.”
- “Long story short, if you like funky/strange shmups with an eastern tinge to their content, music, or enemy design, you'll probably enjoy this game. However, at its very short total playtime (plus infinite lives seemingly?) and lack of much replay value at all (as well as lack of co-op), it's hard to suggest to anyone beyond fans of the niche content and genre.”

The story is described as either a masterpiece or a convoluted, lore-heavy experience that may have been affected by translation issues, but it remains engaging and enjoyable, offering a compelling narrative within a brief 30-minute playtime.
- “I can't tell if it's a masterpiece or if the translation changed the game into a janky, lore-heavy, schizophrenic post; either way, I really liked it. It's a good 30-minute play with an insane story.”
