However, players have noted issues with clunky controls, a steep learning curve, and a lack of polish in menus and graphics, which detracts from the overall experience.

- “I love the gameplay and its punishing fights, where you will die if you're slacking.”

- “Incredibly disappointing the direction this game went in to, in the early access it was a fun, procedurally generated dungeon crawler with the only issues really being room and enemy variety; they've completely demolished the base they had for gameplay and made the game $60, not worth it in the slightest.”

Overall, while some players critique the game's mechanics, they often find the humorous moments to be a redeeming quality.
