Gameplay is highly praised for its polished, fast-paced combat, fluid mechanics, and satisfying progression through diverse spells, accessories, and builds that keep each run fresh and engaging. The unique wand crafting system and variety of strategic options lend depth, while charming visuals and smooth animations enhance the experience. Some critiques note late unlocking of certain mechanics and occasional balance issues, but overall, gameplay is addictive, well-designed, and a standout aspect of the game.
- “The gameplay centers on top-down, fast-paced combat where players face waves of enemies with a dazzling array of spells crafted from hundreds of magical components.”
- “The sheer variety of builds and replayable content ensures that no two playthroughs are the same, keeping the gameplay engaging over the long haul.”
- “The mechanic of combining spells and creating crazy wands makes every run unique and unpredictable.”
- “You get overpowered too fast and if you're not chasing achievements you will only get a couple hours of gameplay out of it.”
- “The fusion mechanic is unlocked after defeating all the areas, which is a bit too late, especially given the small number of fusions you can make.”
- “And some chickens are vastly better than others - the gorgon eventually loses the ability to dodge, making it unable to deal with boss mechanics, while the phoenix has a free revive, fire damage buffs, and starts with every fire spell in the game.”

Optimization in the game is a mixed bag: performance mode improves gameplay by boosting performance but at the cost of losing some HUD elements, and even then, stability issues persist during extended runs. Overall, the game struggles with poor optimization, leading to crashes and clunky controls, which detracts from the experience despite improvements over previous versions.
- “Performance mode alleviates the problem by a lot, but you also lose enemy health bars (except bosses and certain endless mode enemies) and damage numbers, so it's a case of picking your poison.”
- “That is an insane upgrade from the last one; the game has a lot more content and is way better in graphics and performance, while still being catchy and fun for spending hours playing.”
- “In the meantime, I'll be playing "Halls of Torment," a technically perfect survivor game that runs smoothly on this very same notebook.”
- “The game is clearly not optimized at all; this is unacceptable.”
- “And if you try to play endless, even performance mode won't save you. I tried setting up a god run build to test it and crashed around 40 minutes into a lagoon endless run.”
- “Performance mode alleviates the problem significantly, but you lose enemy health bars (except for bosses and certain endless mode enemies) and damage numbers, so it's a case of picking your poison.”
