The story in the game is somewhat scattered and not fully engaging for some players, with lore primarily found in notes scattered throughout levels and a strong intro cutscene. While the narrative is described as unique and complemented by decent voice acting and immersive elements, others find it overshadowed by difficult combat and pacing issues. Overall, the story appeals to fans of action RPGs who appreciate character development and immersion despite some frustration with game difficulty.
- “But this game has a great deal placed on storyline and graphics; while the story is truly one of a kind, the graphics are like most games today, overpowering and GPU intensive.”
- “Enoch is a good action RPG with an engaging story, satisfying character development and individualization possibilities. The music and immersion will most likely last you at least a few days, so I can recommend it for anyone liking action RPGs.”
- “We couldn't get into the story enough to see if there was one, and the combat system is tough.”
- “There’s some lore and story in the game available in scattered notes you find throughout the levels.”
- “I can't progress past a certain point: a room with 3 enemy humans in it, since they are too quick and you run out of stamina/health before you can kill more than one. It's not a glitch, it's just that the game is too difficult. I gave up after dying more than 10 times at that location.”

- “Graphics are actually pretty nice and the level design is decent as well.”
- “Had to dramatically reduce graphics to be able to not slideshow on stream.”

The gameplay presents an interesting concept but is hindered by missing features such as a mini map and leveling system, which affect immersion and depth. Combat feels repetitive and lacks engaging mechanics, while the absence of manual saving further limits player control. Overall, the gameplay feels incomplete and somewhat soulless despite having potential.
- “I think the game has nice gameplay and I didn't feel it was a Diablo clone.”
- “Overall the game has a good idea, but lacks in quite a few places. The lack of a mini map is one of my biggest issues. No leveling system just does not feel right. The mechanics are a bit boring; you just wait until human adds make an action of three attacks, then you hit them and back off till they're dead. The same goes for the other adds: you hit them, back off, then hit them again and so on. Even if there is no mini map, at least they could give a manual save. The game overall feels soulless.”
- “It feels like some mechanics are missing which would actually make it a good game.”

The game offers limited replay value overall, though its character advancement system adds some incentive to revisit. High-quality graphics enhance the experience but may demand significant GPU resources.
