The gameplay is engaging and enjoyable, with a grid-based system that allows players to learn mechanics at their own pace, though it can initially feel challenging. The unique "play as what kills you" mechanic adds depth, creating a rewarding loop despite some balancing issues, while the "ambush" mechanic has been criticized for its frustrating randomness. Overall, players appreciate the fun and strategic elements, rating the gameplay highly.
- “The gameplay is so fun.”
- “It is difficult at first as you're learning the mechanics, but as you familiarize yourself with them, it becomes manageable.”
- “I love the idea of becoming the character that killed you, and it has created a very nice gameplay loop so that even when you die, you can try again with new tactics!”
- “The 'ambush' mechanic is something that needs to be removed; having an hour-long run brought to an end because RNG decides to spawn 8 enemies around you is not fun nor appealing design.”
- “It is difficult at the beginning when learning the mechanics, and then as you familiarize yourself with them, it becomes manageable.”
- “In my case, when it gets too complicated I usually give up, so being able to familiarize myself with the game mechanics at my own pace while still enjoying the experience is really great.”
