The gameplay is generally well-received, particularly the archery and sword mechanics, which many find enjoyable despite some criticism regarding the bow's performance. However, players note a lack of content, as the current experience revolves around repetitive mini-challenges, which may not justify the price at this stage of early access. The developers are praised for their responsiveness to player feedback and for incorporating engaging details and mechanics into the game.
“In addition to bow and sword gameplay, there are many small details the developers have been cooking up, like relaxing landscapes, beautiful ambiance design, and little minigames to discover across the map.”
“They have really built some cool game mechanics.”
“First of all, the gameplay is pretty good; the archery is fun, and slicing things feels satisfying, but it can get repetitive with the mini challenges.”
“At this point in early access, I am impressed with the archery gameplay, but the lack of content doesn't quite justify the current price tag.”
“The bow gameplay itself is terrible, but the sword gameplay must redeem it, right?”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with some players finding the campaign mode unnecessary and the mission structure confusing. Users expressed a desire for more customizable gameplay options and clearer navigation, as the current setup can feel cumbersome and detracts from the overall experience. However, there is a suggestion to persevere through the initial moments to better assess the game's narrative.
“Just do not let your first few moments spook you off, get to the first mission and then decide what you think.”
“Is the nonsensical story/campaign mode really necessary?”
“In order to unlock the ability to use swords, you need to complete 10 missions with a terrible bow.”
“I would appreciate two things - the ability to pick specific modes and settings like: Beat Saber clone, medium difficulty, some additional settings... or: archery, easy, totems - so I could play exactly what I want, ideally with more procedurally generated content. Some modes are mixed with others in some mission lists, and it will soon get hard to navigate and search for specific stuff if more will be added later.”
