The gameplay features enjoyable mechanics that allow players to choose a weapon style and engage in grinding against NPCs to earn currency and upgrade stats. While the depth of gameplay is limited, it offers a fresh take on melee combat, particularly for fans of similar titles, though concerns about its implementation in PvP remain.
