The game's stability has been widely criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs and glitches affecting gameplay, menus, and user interface. While some players find enjoyment in the core mechanics, the persistent issues detract from the overall experience, leading many to recommend waiting for further updates and fixes before diving in. Overall, the game feels unfinished and in need of significant polish to reach its full potential.
- “Love these games, and I wanted to love this game, but unfortunately it's just not landing. Definitely still buggy on full release; hits/sfx don't line up as they should, it just feels 'off'. Maybe down the line they will make some more significant fixes, but in its current state I just can't recommend this game unfortunately.”
- “Oh and the interface is buggy as hell, with sticky windows that you can't close. The inventory makes you place things 'exactly' in the spot.”
- “After over 100 hours of gameplay, this is still a buggy mess.”

Players appreciate the game's solid visuals and optimization, even on lower-end hardware, although some experience frame rate limitations.

- “Fantastic art style and graphics.”
- “It has good visuals, a lot of solid elements to it, and a lot of potential.”
- “I agree that the game could have more polish and there are some sound and graphical glitches every now and then; however, they don't make the game any less fun.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant performance issues, bugs, and clunky gameplay that detracts from the overall experience. While some users have experienced smooth performance on high-end systems, others describe the game as barely playable, suggesting it feels more like an unfinished concept than a polished product. Overall, the consensus indicates that the game requires substantial improvements in optimization and balancing before it can be considered worth its price.
- “I haven’t run into any bugs, and the game runs smoothly.”
- “Maybe two other interesting facts; I play on a high-end notebook with onboard graphics and it works fine, so optimization is not an issue.”
- “I had zero performance issues on an NVIDIA 4-series card.”
- “Personally, I think this should still be in beta with the performance issues and bugs still present.”
- “This is honestly one of the worst games you could spend money on. It's not worth the price as it is now; it is never-ending bugs and things thrown together with little care or thought. As others have said, it's literally barely playable. It's not even the performance; it's like the whole game was made by AI and nothing works with each other. You will die to nothing, your runs will end with things completely outside of your control, and some abilities completely outclass others. AOE effects are hidden underground. It's just a mess. This should be an alpha test, not early access. It's more of a concept design than a real game. It could be good with time, but it's far too early for this to even be for sale, let alone at this price.”
- “Gameplay requires balancing, bad optimization, and the game is clunky.”

While there are attempts to enhance the narrative, many players feel that the story is not the main draw, with comparisons to Diablo highlighting its derivative aspects. Overall, the storytelling is seen as underwhelming and overshadowed by gameplay mechanics.
- “The game already has a lot of different loot, some crafting, and even a storytelling part. The gameplay is fun, and the characters feel unique.”
- “Rogue-like, bullet hell, whatever you call it, I have a feeling it's more of an action RPG. It has a story, cool skills and modifications, and plenty of stats. Finally, a game where stats matter and you have a choice about which stat to invest in.”
- “There's a lot of things taken directly out of Diablo regarding the story.”
- “The quests were attempted to be fixed, but they're still broken.”
- “The quest line could also use a bit more guidance.”
- “Patch notes claim to fix things they do not; I have run 3 different game saves now and all get different quest bugs.”
