The gameplay is criticized for its lack of depth and innovation, with procedural generation offering some replayability but failing to elevate the overall experience. Many reviewers find the combat mechanics simplistic and repetitive, with minimal abilities and uninspired design, leading to a boring and unchallenging experience. Additionally, issues with multiplayer progression and a lack of engaging travel mechanics further detract from the gameplay quality.
“The story's procedural generation mechanics add an element of unpredictability and replayability, making each match unique.”
“While the game is definitely heavily inspired by Castle Crashers, the gameplay is not the same.”
“Nice mechanics too.”
“The mechanics of dodging and attacking are there but in its bare minimum.”
“The traveling mechanic is boring because, as nothing really hurts you, your choice of path on the way and response to the encounters don't really matter.”
“The game has a decent production value but the gameplay is so boring and the game design is totally uninspired.”

The game's story features procedural generation, enhancing replayability and unpredictability, though the main narrative is relatively short and lacks depth. While it offers a variety of unlockable items and a challenging higher difficulty, the campaign mode is more focused on combat than an engaging adventure, with minimal and uninteresting story elements. However, players can experience different outcomes based on their choices, and the presence of humorous characters adds some charm to the overall experience.
“The story's procedural generation mechanics add an element of unpredictability and replayability, making each match unique.”
“The best thing this game has compared to others is the hand of fate-like map and story generation, tying it all together in a 4-player co-op environment.”
“Many funny characters, and the story can be played in different ways depending on your choices.”
“I thought campaign mode was going to be more of an adventure (with story) like Castle Crashers, but combat was simply a small arena with hack and slash mechanics and minimal abilities (melee and ranged... that's it)... and the enemies are super quick and easy.”
“- minimal story and what was there... wasn't interesting.”
