- The gameplay is overly simplistic, with no combat and limited actions, leading to a lack of depth and strategy.

The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity, allowing players to understand mechanics without tutorials, but this results in a lack of depth and engagement. While the transformation between ogre and human forms is automatic and the game features a unique side-swapping mechanic, many players find the overall experience to be boring and mediocre. However, some appreciate the cute aesthetics, music, and the original mechanics, particularly in the context of a budget-friendly indie roguelike.
