The gameplay is characterized by tight controls and satisfying combat, with a focus on melee weapons and limited ranged options, leading to a somewhat repetitive experience, especially with boss mechanics. While the game incorporates roguelite elements and offers rewarding build crafting, the overall gameplay loop is simple yet engaging, making it more appealing at a discounted price. The vibrant environments and enjoyable music enhance the experience, despite the routine tasks involved in loot management.
- “The game features tight controls, incredibly satisfying and addictive combat, and basic yet rewarding build crafting. The music is wonderful, environments are lush and colorful, and the game overall just has a very engaging gameplay loop.”
- “What I do have to say though, and that's why I feel like the game is recommendable at a lower price point of a discount, is that the gameplay loop is very simple and yet somehow fun.”
- “When you have to go through the routine task of sifting through all of your garbage loot to deconstruct it (for money), and consider what is probably worth keeping for later, that's business as usual for any RPG or ARPG, but this game only has so many weapon types, all melee weapons, and the only ranged gameplay you will get is with how you'd utilize three different bow attacks and a number of spells.”
- “Bosses all have the same mechanics when it comes to their life bar - they retreat to the middle/top of the screen to summon adds/minions and they're invincible for a short while.”
- “Most of them even add roguelite mechanics like procedural generation to somewhat conceal their repetitive nature.”

The story is characterized by a repetitive quest structure that involves multiple trips to dungeons to obtain quest items, which some players find tedious and unengaging. However, the town segments are praised for their charming characters, engaging dialogue, and interesting relationship dynamics, offering a light yet intriguing narrative backdrop. Overall, opinions are mixed, with some considering the story to be a downgrade from previous titles in the genre.
- “The town portions include charming townsfolk, gorgeous character designs, varied and interesting relationship interactions, fun dialogue, and a light but intriguing story.”
- “- The story is ungodly boring and pointless.”
- “It feels like a little bit of a downgrade to Rune Factory games at first, especially since it seems like you need to complete all challenges in a dungeon to proceed with the story.”
- “Got quest -> go to dungeon 1st time to find condition to get quest item -> go to dungeon 2nd time.”
