The gameplay of Krai Mira is characterized by an atmospheric post-apocalyptic setting but suffers from average mechanics, frustrating combat, and significant bugs. Players often experience issues with real-time sneaking, inventory loss, and AI companion control, leading to a clunky and sometimes unfair difficulty curve. While the combat mechanics show potential, the overall execution leaves much to be desired, resulting in a basic RPG experience with limited plot development.
“Krai Mira attempts to immerse players in a post-apocalyptic world with its atmospheric setting and diverse gameplay.”
“Nice gameplay, atmosphere, and graphics, and it does what it sets out to do so far.”
“I enjoy the battle mechanics, but it would be nice if the player had some control over their companions, as the AI controls them all and they tend to blindly charge the enemy.”
“Game mechanics are average, and include the two most ancient flaws of RPGs: horrible real-time sneaking without sneaking mechanics.”
“It's pretty wonky; mechanics aren't particularly fleshed out, combat is frustrating, the player loses their complete inventory several times (and doesn't get it back!), and the difficulty curve is quite high.”
“This is an exceptionally basic RPG with little plot and poor gameplay.”

While some believe it has potential, the overall consensus is that it remains a semi-finished product that requires further refinement.
“I was very surprised to see this 'extended cut' come out, as the last time I looked at this it was a buggy early access mess. This is truly poor marketing. I really don't care if all the fanboys give this a thumbs down; playing through this is just a depressing experience of how not to make a game well. This mediocrity in every aspect is not something that should be rewarded or praised.”
“Buggy as hell.”
“The quest is bug-ridden, and you seem to just ramble for no purpose.”

Players note that grinding for strength and health using healing items can make the game significantly easier, suggesting that exploiting certain mechanics can reduce the overall challenge.
