Charming and unique art style with fluid animations and a catchy soundtrack.
Fast-paced gameplay with a variety of weapons, enemy types, and interesting level designs that encourage exploration.
Engaging characters and story with a good balance of humor and adventure, making it enjoyable for a wide audience.

Gameplay can feel repetitive and may not differ significantly from its predecessor, leading some to view it as a DLC rather than a standalone sequel.
Difficulty spikes may frustrate players unfamiliar with 2D platformers, and the lack of save points can lead to repetitive gameplay after dying.
Some minor technical issues, such as clipping problems and camera control difficulties, can detract from the overall experience.

The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced 2D platforming with tight controls and a unique art style, incorporating some light RPG elements. While it retains similarities to its predecessor, "Zeran's Folly," some players feel it lacks innovation and can be overly forgiving, allowing players to bypass challenges easily. However, the variety of weapons and equipment mechanics provide opportunities for diverse playstyles and added challenge for those seeking it.
- “It's a great 2D platformer with a unique art style and some lite RPG mechanics.”
- “Fast-paced gameplay with simple and tight controls.”
- “Of the few weapons I've unlocked (there appear to be 8 or 9), they have very different playstyles, and with the weapon leveling mechanic, it offers up a variety of ways to play.”
- “Gameplay-wise, it's not that different from the previous game - Zeran's Folly; this game feels like a big DLC rather than a sequel.”
- “I'm very sorry to say this, but the level design, for the game not punishing you for anything and giving you very high amounts of life and healing, turns out to be something totally useless: the entire gameplay consists of skipping every obstacle on your way by getting hit and occasionally hitting an enemy or two to get a health bar.”
- “There is a gameplay walkthrough speedrun video on YouTube by the game developer himself, and if you watch it, you'll get what I mean.”

The story is self-contained, allowing new players to jump in without prior knowledge of the predecessor. While it lacks the depth and mature themes of the first game, it maintains an adventurous tone with interesting characters, though it does not feature a central villain or mystery. Overall, the narrative keeps players engaged with its charm and quest-driven structure.
- “A polished and charming platformer with interesting characters and a story that keeps you saying 'just one more quest...'.”
- “The characters and the story are interesting; I always wanted to know more.”
- “But yeah, similarly to the first game, you are looking for macguffins, but unlike in the first game where the artifact hunt turned suddenly serious, this game's plot remains about adventure and there isn't really a main villain or a mystery.”
- “The story is self-contained, so you don't need to play the predecessor first to understand it.”
- “Low fit – [i]leowald[/i] doesn’t really have you searching for movement upgrades to progress – you’re put into missions with metroidvania-style levels and you occasionally get a movement upgrade as part of the story.”

The humor in the game is characterized by charming and funny characters, with a mix of lewd slapstick and a range of raunchy, crude, and dark jokes. While some players appreciate the refreshing and unique comedic style, others find it overly offensive or distracting, particularly in "Zeran's Folly," where the humor can be quite aggressive. In contrast, "Leowald" offers a more balanced approach to humor, maintaining its edgy tone while being less intrusive.
- “Charming and funny characters.”
- “It's a metroidvania with quite a lot of charm and humor, along with some sprinkles of lewd slapstick here and there.”
- “Buy it if you like freedom of movement in your platformers, or if the visuals and humor hit your fancy.”
