The randomization of spell mutations lacks player control, often resulting in frustrating downgrades and a feeling of helplessness.
The game can become laggy with too many objects on screen, especially during intense moments, which detracts from the experience.
Enemies are often too fast, making it difficult to avoid damage and leading to a sense of forced grinding without meaningful progression.
