The gameplay is praised for its innovative mechanics, such as the interrupt system that allows players to halt powerful enemy attacks and the light/dark mechanic that offers strategic bonuses. While the game is intuitive and deep, providing a balance of challenge and creativity, players find it difficult to build and maintain a strong deck due to the introduction of mechanics that can weaken them over time. Overall, the game combines familiar roguelike elements with unique features, making for an engaging experience.

- “Played for a few hours, I was quite impressed with how intuitive and deep the game feels, with enough new mechanics and twists to really make you think and have a good time.”
