The gameplay is characterized by smooth animations and easily readable attacks, which enhance the importance of defense mechanics like parrying and rolling. While combat is engaging and challenging due to tough enemies, some platforming sections suffer from overly precise mechanics. Overall, the game offers a strategic experience, particularly in its beat'em up elements, but could benefit from adjustments to improve certain gameplay aspects.
- “The gameplay is smooth, and the boss fights are epic.”
- “Defense mechanics like the parry and roll are well done during combat and make the game a little more interesting despite it being very simplistic.”
- “I love this simple mechanic that makes beat'em up games strategic rather than mindless spamming jump kicks, because you will be in big trouble if they duck and dodge your attack.”
- “- platforming sections are far too precise for how sensitive the roll mechanic is.”
- “On its own it stands up pretty well all things considered, fix a few gameplay-related things and it's a retroactive classic.”
- “- enemies are tough and challenge you to utilize your defense mechanics, which also contributes to the combat.”

The music in the game features a decent selection, with chiptune tracks that complement its overall style effectively, including several standout pieces.
