The gameplay is characterized as a mix of light platforming and item collection for quest progression, offering a fun and goofy experience. Unlike typical mascot horror games, players can actively fight back against enemies, which adds a unique twist to the gameplay. While the platforming mechanics are considered average, the overall experience is deemed enjoyable and stands out within the genre.
“It was stupid and goofy as hell, with a simple enough gameplay loop to be a pretty damn fun time.”
“The gameplay was okay; it has some light platforming segments and you also have to collect items in order to complete little quests to progress further. What helps this game stand out from other mascot horror-themed games is the fact that you actually get to fight back and not just run and hide like in other mascot horror-themed games. It really helped make the gameplay stand out.”
“So with that said, Greg's Deadly Draft is an okay mascot horror, cartoony platformer that actually uses a legitimate mascot. It has an okay story, okay gameplay, and good enemies and bosses.”
“The platforming segments aren't the best; it's not the worst, but I don't know, I've played better games with this mechanic.”

The story of "Greg's Deadly Draft" is simple and lighthearted, centering on the player's mission to stop Greg the shark, with optional notes providing additional context. While the narrative is not particularly deep, it effectively complements the gameplay, which allows for combat rather than just evasion, making it a satisfactory experience overall. There is potential for further development of the story and concept, but players generally find it enjoyable as it stands.
“Alright, the story is okay, nice, simple, and does not take itself seriously, which is good. You just have to stop Greg the shark and escape. There are little notes that tell you a bit more about what is going on, although it's not really needed as you can get the general idea.”
“Wink wink, the story and concept could definitely be expanded upon, but I'm satisfied.”
