The gameplay of "God of Weapons" is characterized by a unique blend of inventory management and action mechanics, drawing inspiration from titles like "Vampire Survivors" and "Brotato." While the inventory system is praised for its engaging "Tetris-like" organization and synergy bonuses, many players find the overall gameplay loop repetitive and lacking in depth, with some noting that it can become tedious after a few hours. Despite its smooth mechanics and potential for fun, the game suffers from balancing issues and a lack of variety in enemies and environments, which may limit long-term enjoyment.

- “God of Weapons seamlessly fuses roguelike elements with weapon hoarding mechanics.”
- “The gameplay lasted for 3 hours, then got boring.”
- “The horrid inventory management, which is a core mechanic of this game, turns this into a game I advise against until they've fixed that.”
