The gameplay is praised for its solid concept and enjoyable loop, offering enough tactical depth despite a limited selection of three heroes. While the tutorial is somewhat dry, it effectively explains the mechanics, which are simple yet clever and satisfying. However, players may find the gameplay challenging, particularly if they are unfamiliar with the genre.
