The gameplay features diverse and unique boss mechanics that players appreciate, but overall, it tends to be repetitive and simplistic, focusing heavily on 3-4 letter word challenges. While the core mechanics are easy to learn and the mythology aspect adds charm, many players feel that the lack of differentiation between levels diminishes the sense of progression and engagement. Despite these criticisms, some users still find enjoyment in the game, particularly if they are not overly critical of its mechanics.
- “Loved the boss mechanics!”
- “+ great mechanics for bosses, all unique”
- “A super clever game with a refreshing gameplay mechanic.”
- “The game itself is simplistic, and the mechanic of having to find words before a timer runs out is not as fun as 'Typing of 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.”
- “So gameplay gets pretty repetitive as you do a lot of the same 3-4 letter words over and over.”

The game's story features a moral about perseverance and includes a campaign mode with side quests and challenging bosses, but many players find the implementation lacking and the graphics subpar. While the concept of traveling and battling different bosses is intriguing, the overall execution is deemed "adequate at best," leaving some players feeling that the narrative gets overshadowed by gameplay speed. Additionally, the story mode is relatively short, lasting about an hour, and may not engage those who are not proficient typists.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “There is a campaign mode where there are side quests and challenges available along the way.”
- “The game has a neat story idea of traveling from place to place, fighting different bosses with varying challenge levels interspersed.”
- “Awful graphics and 'story'; it would have been better off with something minimalist and clean.”
- “The game has a neat story idea of traveling from place to place, fighting different bosses with varying challenge levels, only to be rather let down by the 'adequate at best' implementation.”
- “The faster typers and solvers may find that the story mode and features get a little lost in the speed of things.”
