The gameplay is characterized by a mix of simple mechanics and strategic depth, appealing to fans of casual and board games. While the extensive tutorial helps players grasp the basics, some reviewers noted that the gameplay can feel overly simplistic and lacks substance for long-term engagement. Additionally, the online setup is praised for its flexibility, allowing for both live and asynchronous play, though some mechanics may require refinement to enhance the overall experience.
- “Also, the way that online gameplay is set up is very pleasant, as both live and async modes are supported, so you can play fast or fit it in between other activities, just as you want or need.”
- “It's a polished, fun little game and does a good job of handling both simplicity of game mechanics with a depth of strategy.”
- “Snappy gameplay.”
- “Granted, a human opponent would have eventually tried another tactic, but the fact that a never-ending loop was even possible denotes that the gameplay could be refined to eliminate this possibility.”
- “I don't regret playing that first match, but the gameplay is just far too simplistic to warrant further playthroughs.”
- “Put more simply, it resembles sliding tile block puzzles with RPG mechanics, but at a level that makes it more simplistic than the typical sliding block puzzle game.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players praising its quality and the inclusion of options like a lo-fi soundtrack that appeals to nostalgia.

Overall, the soundtrack enhances the gaming experience, contributing positively to the game's polished presentation.
- “Really nice game, cool mechanics, and great music.”
- “It's a relaxing but challenging game with a beautiful soundtrack.”
- “It's polished, seamless, and even gives you a lo-fi music option - which is a real treat if you spent a significant part of your childhood growing up to a delightfully angular 8-bit soundtrack.”
- “However, board games aren't played for their looks or their soundtrack.”
- “/me lets the game sit to be able to post the review, definitely want to turn off the music (also really don't like it when games start full blaring noise at me).”
- “Options have music and sound sliders, but nothing to make it windowed.”

The reviews highlight a significant absence of narrative elements in computerized board games, noting that they lack storylines, quests, and lore, which contributes to a feeling of emptiness. Players express a desire for a more developed storyline, suggesting that even a basic narrative could enhance the overall experience.

- “I know, programming a storyline is a huge amount of work, but I'd love to see this.”
- “The player doesn't have to decide the outcome of the story in my opinion, but by now the game still feels a bit empty.”
- “There are no quests (main or side).”
- “And, last but not least, there is no story.”
