Gameplay is characterized by enjoyable mechanics and distinct character classes, offering solid replay value despite some flaws. Unlocking character classes and environments can be time-consuming, with certain challenges proving difficult to tackle solo. While the game has its share of issues, including balance problems with bosses and some awkward mechanics, many players find it engaging enough to keep returning to, especially in single-player mode.
“Unlocking the character classes will take a few hours of enjoyable gameplay, so if the game is cheap on sale, it is worth checking out.”
“Not the most polished of all time, but solid mechanics and a ton of replay value.”
“The mechanics and variance for each character class in this are extremely fun to play; I'll definitely keep going back to it just in single player.”
“I would say something about the gameplay now, but the game bricks itself before I can get to that part of it.”
“While I enjoyed the gunslinger and wizard - I haven't unlocked the tinker at the moment - the gameplay with the archer was just a pain in the butt.”
“You can't even swap controllers in hands because the shield and mechanics make that not work.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by the amusingly flawed movement controls and the entertaining configuration menu. Players find it particularly funny that the only item capable of defeating giants behaves oddly, especially in multiplayer mode, adding a layer of absurdity to the gameplay experience.
“The config menu is hilarious.”
“It's eerily funny that the one item that can kill the giants is the only item that behaves this way, and only in multiplayer mode.”

“Not the most polished of all time, but solid mechanics and a ton of replay value.”
“Once you have killed 300 monsters as a wizard and unlock the gunslinger, the game becomes much more interesting and playable.”
“However, once you have killed 300 monsters as a wizard and unlocked gunslinger, the game started to be more interesting (and more playable).”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, as it restricts exploration and features repetitive enemy encounters, particularly with uninspired orc characters that lack variety and engage in monotonous combat behavior.
“The game restricts exploration and features monotonous orcs that all have the same voice, making encounters feel tedious as they pause awkwardly and throw axes at you.”
“The grinding in this game is incredibly repetitive, with little variation in enemies or environments, leading to a dull experience.”
“I found the grinding mechanics to be frustratingly slow, with no real sense of progression or reward for the time invested.”
