- Controls can be clunky and frustrating, particularly with the button mapping for activating the chronosphere and transitioning between rooms.

- Replayability may be limited due to the lack of significant upgrades and the reuse of non-boss enemies across different biomes.

The gameplay is praised for its uniqueness and challenging mechanics, with a dark atmosphere reminiscent of classic games. While some non-boss enemies are reused across different biomes, each area introduces additional unique enemies with distinct mechanics. Despite its engaging combat and references, some players feel the game may not justify its price.
“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!”
“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 Scourgebriner, may hinder its replayability, making it feel less engaging over multiple playthroughs.
“The upgrades aren't mind-boggling (you won't be getting any Isaac-style synergies here), which might limit replayability.”
“The lack of diverse upgrades and synergies makes the game feel repetitive after a few runs.”
