The gameplay of "Get to the Orange Door" is characterized by its fast-paced, fluid movement mechanics reminiscent of "Titanfall 2," combined with roguelike elements that offer a variety of weapons and upgrades.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, often requiring hours of farming in limited environments to progress or unlock upgrades. The lack of variety in missions and enemy types contributes to a sense of monotony, making the grind feel less rewarding and more like a chore. While some enjoy the adrenaline of combat, the overall experience can become frustrating due to poorly designed mechanics and a lack of engaging endgame content.

- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “This game is great for a few hours, but soon you realize there are only 5-6 'shatter' (main mission) levels, concluding in a lackluster and frustrating fight, and dungeons which literally only exist to farm points for permanent upgrades to your character, to the point where 5 hours of grinding can make you practically immortal.”
- “Which means that, if normal runs are giving you trouble and are nearly unbeatable, you wind up grinding dungeons for several hours until you've progressed to the point where you've got a couple of extra lives, starting bits, etc. This means you're traversing the same set of 3-4 rooms with combat encounters for hours just to be able to attempt a normal run.”
- “Focusing on the gameplay is important, but without a good endgame, you kind of just get stuck in endless grinding.”
