The gameplay has been criticized for being repetitive and lacking depth, with many players feeling that it resembles a basic mobile game rather than a robust roguelite experience. While the procedural generation offers some replayability, the combat mechanics, including dodging and stun locking, are described as clunky and frustrating, detracting from the overall enjoyment. Despite decent visuals, the uninspired design and minimal challenge leave players wanting more from the gameplay experience.
- “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 gameplay is extremely repetitive with the typical slash and the use of a secondary weapon, making it feel like a very basic mobile game that you quit pretty soon. If a game doesn't have good gameplay, it's not worth playing, even if the rest is decent.”
- “The stun locking mechanic is abused by both players and enemies, leading to a lack of skill in combat. Dodging feels clunky and doesn't work properly, resulting in getting hit by attacks you thought you avoided. Overall, bad mechanics make this game not worth the money.”
- “The game has decent production value, but the gameplay is boring and the game design is totally uninspired. It feels like a simple mobile game with terrible mechanics that the developers tried to disguise with 'rogue-like' elements.”

The game's story is generally viewed as minimal and lacking depth, with some players finding it fun for a single playthrough but not engaging enough for repeat experiences. While the procedural generation adds unpredictability and replayability, the narrative itself is often described as uninteresting, with combat overshadowing the story elements. However, some players appreciate the humor and character variety, noting that choices can influence the gameplay experience.
- “The story's procedural generation mechanics add an element of unpredictability and replayability, making each match unique.”
- “The best thing this game has versus 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, the story can be played in different ways depending on your choice.”
- “For me, the game was here for a fun time, not a long time. I don't really see myself touching this game again, and for that reason, I don't recommend anyone to get it. If you're interested in the story, go watch a playthrough on YouTube.”
- “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). The enemies are super quick and easy.”
- “- Minimal story and what was there... wasn't interesting.”

- “The game shines in the visuals and the construction of a roguelite game, but the gameplay is extremely repetitive with the typical slash and the use of a secondary weapon.

For me, if a game doesn't have good gameplay, it isn't worth playing, even if the rest is pretty good like in this one.”
- “The art style and combat system combined is something so magical; it gives you these fairytale vibes with a very interesting hack and slash twist in it!”
