The gameplay is praised for its uniqueness and engaging combat, with a variety of enemies that introduce unique mechanics in different areas, despite some reuse across biomes. However, some players feel the game may not justify its price, even as it captures a nostalgic dark atmosphere reminiscent of older titles. Overall, the mechanics are challenging and well-received.
“Edit: I just wanted to clarify that, while non-boss enemies are sometimes reused biome to biome, there are additional unique enemies for each new area (some of which have very unique mechanics).”
“Amazing gameplay/combat, love the references, dark atmosphere, and vibe of old games!”
“Mechanics are very challenging as expected hahaha”
“The game is easy to recommend due to unique gameplay, but I feel like it's not worth the price.”

Reviewers note that the game's lack of complex upgrades and synergies, reminiscent of "Scourgebringer," may hinder its replayability, as players might not find enough variety or incentive to revisit the game after completing it.
“The upgrades aren't mind-boggling; you won't be getting any Isaac-style synergies here, which might limit replayability.”
“Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to go back and play through it again.”
“The lack of diverse paths and outcomes makes replaying the game feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
