The gameplay offers a fun and fluid blend of melee and gunplay with a compelling core loop, featuring weapon variety and roguelike elements. However, it can become repetitive and somewhat monotonous due to grind-heavy mechanics, awkward design choices like drone micromanagement, overly long progression, and lack of significant gameplay-changing upgrades. While enjoyable for casual or arcade fans, some frustrating mechanics and limited character differentiation suggest it’s best experienced on sale or with future improvements.
- “Fun gameplay involving both melee and gunplay, with some humorous dialogue.”
- “The game cycle is enjoyable, the grind is fun, the mechanics are sound and best of all, it just feels right, the way the weapons work, the enemies behave and how you have that 'just one go' feeling all over you.”
- “It's gameplay loop is compelling, and it has enough weapon variety that it rewards the player by not just choosing stats.”
- “The hitboxes on all of the traps are spaghetti and the game is full of them, which only slows down gameplay more as you walk through an empty hallway with sixteen electrified puddles or have to backtrack because a boulder or giant noh mask starts chasing you.”
- “Don't touch this unless it's on steep discount and even then be prepared for monotonous repetition and frustrating mechanics.”
- “The only upgrades you get during a run are just modifiers to your stats, no new abilities, no gameplay-changing buffs, nothing.”

The story is generally described as simple and straightforward, centered on a classic good versus evil plot with a rescue mission. While some find it functional and complemented by a nice soundtrack, many feel it is repetitive, half-baked, and overshadowed by monotonous gameplay, with the world-building showing more potential than the actual narrative delivers.
- “Has an endless mode once you complete the story and a New Game+ mechanic that lets you keep all your stats and body enhancements and play as a different character.”
- “Fun and very well-constructed game story.”
- “The story is pretty simple and good and the soundtrack is very nice.”
- “At the end of the day, the story is bad and half baked. The tower needs something to break up the monotony, and the roguelike elements don't work because the overwhelming majority is for survivability, meaning that it's going to take you nearly the same length of time with all upgrades as with no upgrades.”
- “Simple story, repeat lines of dialogue, etc. You are here to kill, level up some, get to the end.”
- “The story is okay, but the world it suggests is much more interesting than the actual plot.”

The music and soundtrack generally receive positive remarks for fitting the arcade-style gameplay and enhancing the experience, with some standout tracks noted. However, a common criticism is the lack of volume control, particularly the inability to reduce music below 10%, and the repetitive nature of stage music, which may detract from enjoyment over extended play.
- “Good music and soundtrack that suits this type of arcade game well.”
- “The story is pretty simple and good and the soundtrack is very nice.”
- “It's a shame, because the style of the game is excellent, along with the soundtrack.”
- “We're forced to listen to the same song on repeat for 20 floors at a time?”
- “Also, I still absolutely hate how you can't turn music volume to 0%!”
- “Repetitive stage music.”

The humor in the game is generally praised for its funny dialogue, entertaining voice acting, and dark comedic tone that enhances the gameplay experience. Some players appreciate the fresh jokes and humorous boss interactions, while others find certain dialogue dated or less amusing. Overall, it delivers a lighthearted and engaging atmosphere, especially appealing to fans of quirky, gooner-style humor.
- “It is everything it says on the tin, it is a fun, roguelike that will keep you laughing the whole time with its wholehearted leaning into its jokes.”
- “Redoing bosses has new dialogue and funny moments I highly appreciated on a personal level.”
- “The humor is super goon-coded in the best way and it makes for a really entertaining stream if you're a streamer.”

The game is generally well-optimized, running smoothly with responsive controls and no significant bugs or crashes. However, some users report inconsistent resolution options and noticeable performance issues on larger maps, which may affect the experience depending on the player’s setup.
- “In terms of performance, the game runs smoothly, and the controls are responsive and work well.”
- “Perfect performance, no lag, crashes, glitches, or bugs.”
- “Very well-made game in DX12 and optimized.”
- “Performance-wise it runs fine, but somehow doesn't give an option for 1440p resolution, while some report that 4K is an option for them (haven't seen the 4K option in-game with my 1440p screens).”
- “There's one major gripe and a big performance issue to caveat everything with, but I'm setting this review as a recommend because it is a fun game; there's just some tedium to get through, and your mileage may vary with the performance issues.”
- “The only other caveat to mention is that there's something wrong with the performance on larger floors.”
grinding

The game features extensive grinding, especially during long runs and the final boss's multi-stage battle, which can feel repetitive and time-consuming. Progression often requires multiple hours of repetitive floor clearing, with limited opportunities to save mid-run, leading to player fatigue. While expected by some, the grind may feel exhausting and monotonous to many.
- “The final boss is absurd, with 3 stages and a huge amount of HP; it's not impossible or overly difficult, just grindy.”
- “Mindless, grindy, and a 100-floor run can take you over 7 hours.”
- “It gets exhausting and grindy, and it wouldn't if you could save your progress mid-run.”

- “The game is fun, it has like this old school arcade feel complemented by the art style and look.”
- “Very much like their real budget titles and is most similar in feeling to Bullet Girls Phantasia but more toned down, only improving in graphics and non-shooting combat.”
