The gameplay is described as highly addictive and enjoyable, featuring stylized graphics and impressive music, making it a fun experience overall. However, the uniform color scheme of characters can be initially confusing, and while the asynchronous multiplayer mechanics are fresh, they may feel passive at times. Despite some concerns about multiplayer and entry barriers, the single-player mode and map editor offer solid gameplay that encourages skill development and achievement hunting.
- “The gameplay is addicting, the graphics are very nicely stylized, the music is amazing, and altogether this game is a blast.”
- “Interesting asynchronous versus multiplayer, feels quite fresh; I can't remember a game with such mechanics.”
- “Though I am not sure about the multiplayer component yet—playing as a ghost is just too passive—but it has potential. The game is in early access anyway; I have already spent a considerable amount of hours in the single-player and map editor, and the gameplay is pretty solid (and getting all the achievements takes some time and skill).”
- “All living creatures that are on the map, including the player, are the same (white-blue) color, which is a little confusing at first when you don’t know the rules and upcoming mechanics.”
- “The game has the potential to attract the attention of streamers, if not for the entry threshold and some undeveloped details of the multiplayer mechanics.”
