The gameplay offers a fun and fluid blend of rogue-lite and twin-stick shooter mechanics reminiscent of Risk of Rain 2, with engaging co-op play and smooth controls. However, many reviewers note that while initially addictive and polished, the gameplay can become repetitive due to limited enemy, item, and level variety, as well as underwhelming upgrade impact. Overall, it’s a solid, enjoyable experience with strong potential that needs more content and variety to maintain long-term engagement.

- “The game's mechanics are finely tuned, offering a challenging yet rewarding gameplay that keeps you coming back for more.”
- “This game delivers an exhilarating experience akin to Risk of Rain 2, offering engaging gameplay and captivating visuals.”
- “Items aren't interesting, with most items simply providing invisible stat boosts that don't drastically change your gameplay.”
- “Gatekeeper is entertaining through having many different possible ability and item combinations bringing many different perspectives of gameplay, but one downside is how the game gets stale rather quickly due to the lack of progression and improvements.”
- “The only issue I have: the gameplay got monotonous after a while due to the lack of variety in mob types, boss types and upgrade types.”

The game currently offers enjoyable gameplay but suffers from limited replayability due to a lack of variety, unique stages, and meaningful differences between runs.

- “It was fun, but it lacks replay value past a few runs given the current lack of bosses and unique-feeling stages.”
- “Game lacks replayability as of today, but other than that it's really fun and well made.”

Grinding in the game is generally smooth and suitable for farming or playing with friends, but some players find it repetitive and lacking variety in items or perks to change play styles. While the grind isn't overly tedious, runs can feel long and somewhat easy, leading to potential boredom during extended farming. Adding new mechanics, items, or penalties for prolonged farming could improve engagement and reduce the current sense of repetitiveness.
- “Right now the game lacks items or perks that change play style, suggesting new items or artifacts that create synergies and new features. Farming prisms can be a bit boring, so that's a part to work on.”
- “Please make it less terrible to farm items as players spend time in stages doing so. Not every stage allows for farming, and enemies get harder when all I want is just one item. Specifically, the crit is always expensive but all items can be like that.”
- “A run takes too long if you try to buy all items at the current level; it can be a little bit grindy.”
