The gameplay is criticized for being repetitive and lacking depth, with a limited tech tree and minimal skill or class variety that fails to enhance the core experience. Players find the mechanics floaty and unengaging, often resulting in damage from accidental encounters rather than skillful play, leading to a static and predictable gameplay loop focused on simple tasks. Overall, the experience feels shallow, with little incentive for strategic micromanagement or meaningful progression.
“The 'how to play' is pretty straightforward, as is the gameplay itself.”
“Also, the game might benefit from a bit more micromanaging; gameplay feels too static in my opinion.”
“The gameplay itself is very floaty and getting damaged is often the result of flat out accidentally walking into a mob's attack rather than any skill.”
“The gameplay is not very varied and you just spend the entire time running in circles while holding down a button until you get to the boss fight.”
“Currently, it seems your whole gameplay style is focused around 'spawn portals, avoid arrows, collect souls/red stone.' The upgrades don't seem to change a whole lot other than just some numerical differences.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered underwhelming, with some users finding the aesthetics unappealing and noting that it lacks the flashy visuals of more intense games. Despite its low graphical intensity, players have experienced performance issues, such as frequent lock-ups.
“Aesthetics are just awful.”
“This is probably one of the least graphically-intense games I play, so I'm confused as to why it locks up so much.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious due to slow gameplay and expensive, irrelevant metaprogress, which detracts from the overall enjoyment.
“While it seems like this game could be great, in my opinion, the gameplay itself is too slow. Meta progress is too expensive and irrelevant at the same time, and because of that, it feels tedious to play.”
