The gameplay is fast-paced and challenging, featuring a deep progression system with around 380 challenges that unlock new mechanics and provide passive bonuses. While the combat is satisfying and the mechanics are intricate, some players feel the lack of defensive options makes the game overly difficult at times.

“Gameplay is fast-paced and challenging with an incredible progression system that continually drives you to push yourself more and more.”

“While 'elewar: fused survivors' may not boast AAA graphics or marketing, its addictive gameplay loop and continuous updates make it a must-try for fans of roguelite and action RPG genres.”
“There is no defense, except to try to avoid; there is no 'dodge/dash/evade' mechanic in the game. I play a lot of bullet hell/heaven games, and I get that they are supposed to be 'challenging', but when the game makes it too 'challenging', it becomes not fun.”
“The game could maybe add an iframe mechanic, or invulnerability for a short time when you get hit.”
“3/10 gameplay-wise, it's slow.”
