The gameplay features diverse and unique boss mechanics that enhance the experience, but overall, it is considered average and can become repetitive due to limited variation in level design and simplistic word challenges.

“The game itself is simplistic, and the mechanic of having to find words before a timer runs out is not as fun as typing for the dead overkill, which tests your typing skills.”
“While the core mechanic of the game is fine and the mythology aspect is cool, there's just far too little differentiation between the levels to make you feel like you're progressing or to hold interest.”
