Gameplay is generally well-received, with players enjoying the archery and sword mechanics, though some find the bow gameplay lacking. However, the repetitive nature of mini challenges and the current lack of content in early access raises concerns about the game's value. The developers are praised for their responsiveness to player feedback and for incorporating engaging details and mechanics into the game.
“In addition to bow & 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.”
“Since the playtesting days, the developers have been really nice and been listening to player feedback on things like bug fixes and gameplay suggestions.”
“They have really built some cool game mechanics.”
“At this point in the 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. Many users express a desire for more flexibility in gameplay options and settings, as well as concerns about the navigation of missions becoming cumbersome with future updates. Overall, while the initial experience may be off-putting, players are encouraged to push through to form their own opinions.
“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 is added later.”
