The gameplay is characterized by fluent mechanics and enjoyable card play, with a unique roguelike deckbuilding approach that features a free-roaming map. While it introduces interesting ideas and mechanics, some players feel that the game lacks enemy variety and suffers from a lack of streamlined mechanics, resulting in a somewhat disorganized experience. Overall, the core gameplay is engaging, with strategic decisions that stand out compared to other titles in the genre.
- “But, the gameplay is fluent, and the card play is enjoyable and not affected by the graphics.”
- “I am honestly surprised by the game's mechanics and depth.”
- “Where it really shines is the core gameplay; just the fundamental decisions about how to play your hand each turn often feel a little more engaging than most roguelike deckbuilders for me.”
- “I'm also talking about gameplay mechanics and card effects that don't have an obvious build around (e.g. leftmost card or discard synergies).”
- “A quick summary of the gameplay: the game is a roguelike deckbuilder that does away with the map nodes and adds a free-roaming map (which I liked).”
- “Game mechanics feel like a salad that don't feel streamlined.”

The graphics in the game are currently inconsistent, with a mix of appealing and poorly executed visuals, including bugs and glitches that detract from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the diverse art styles and find the card designs beautiful, others may find the jarring contrasts and lack of polish off-putting. Overall, the visuals are a work in progress, with developers actively addressing issues, but they may not appeal to everyone.
- “Mage Tower 2 is a charming little bite-sized roguelike experience, with an engaging enough complete-objectives-based progression system, some very silly self-aware artwork, and some legitimately cool spells.”
- “While the UI and settings can definitely use some work and polish, the artwork is surprisingly well done for such an indie game and in my opinion makes this game worth the $15 USD asking price.”
- “Ea roguelike deckbuilding RPG + addictive + 6 classes = adventure in Diablo-like graphics battling against various monsters.”
- “Currently, 22.11.2025, during early access, the game is still quite rough around the edges, but that mainly relates to the visuals.”
- “The bad graphics are contained to story scenes, and the cards are beautiful.”
- “There are noticeable glitches with graphics and sound at the moment; the dev is working on them. The graphics aren't going to be for everyone, but certain types of people are going to love it.”
