The gameplay of the game has been described as addictive and engaging, with a solid core loop that encourages experimentation with builds and mechanics. However, many players feel it lacks depth and replayability, particularly in the late game, where the mechanics can become repetitive and overly simplistic. There are calls for more content, meta-progression systems, and better balancing to enhance the overall experience and maintain player interest beyond the initial hours of play.
- “The game has a very engaging gameplay loop that had me feeling that itch to do one more run basically immediately.”
- “The core gameplay and theorycrafting elements create a solid addictive game loop.”
- “The shop reroll mechanic paired with item merging is amazing.”
- “Between these versions and the 1.0 launch, a lot has changed without warning, leaving many players feeling like they bought a completely different game, and a lot of the appeal of the test versions is gone in favor of more watered-down gameplay.”
- “The gameplay dynamic gets stale very fast, and the music got repetitive after only 30 minutes.”
- “There's no real staying power; the core game mechanics get learned fast, and each character is designed to focus and exploit a specific mechanic.”

The game's replayability is a mixed bag, with some players finding it highly enjoyable due to diverse build options and clever mechanics, while others criticize it for becoming repetitive and lacking depth after a few runs. Many reviewers express a desire for more character balance, additional content, and meta progression to enhance replay value. Overall, while there are elements that can keep players engaged, significant improvements are needed to sustain long-term interest.
- “Fun, clever, huge replayability, a really nice game.”
- “Very fun, the game offers a ton of different builds, keeping the game interesting and very replayable.”
- “It'll appeal to the min-maxers who enjoy number-crunching the stats to push the best out of their builds, but if you're like me and suck at that kind of thing, there's still great appeal in seeing how far you can go even if you don't have a head for the details, with loads of replayability with multiple build options through a variety of gear and character combinations.”
- “The gameplay is satisfying and it could be an awesome game, but the lack of polish and any kind of replayability just kills the enjoyment, and after 2 runs, I regretted my investment.”
- “There is no replayability once you figure it out.”
- “Overall, it feels kinda boring and doesn't really inspire much replayability.”

The grinding aspect of the game is described as initially enjoyable but quickly devolves into a monotonous and tedious experience, with slow pacing and opaque combat mechanics. Players often find themselves mindlessly spamming attacks and managing a cumbersome inventory, leading to frustration with the lack of meaningful progression and the repetitive nature of the grind. While it may appeal to fans of grind-heavy loot games, many reviewers feel that the game ultimately lacks depth and balance, making the grinding feel aimless and unrewarding.
- “The game is quite fun for the first few hours, but quickly becomes monotonous and tedious.”
- “Pacing is slow, fights are opaque, inventory management is a nightmare, the gambling is tedious at high levels, itemization is boring and constrained by sets.”

- “The graphics, sound effects, concept, and flow are all fantastic and work with each other in a satisfying way that has stayed with it since the demo versions first started floating around.”

- “I don't know if the game will improve: out of the several months I have been playing the demo and the prelude, the only thing that changed was the balance of the game and the graphics got darker.”
- “Graphics are 'fine.' You don't play this for the graphics; you do it for the gameplay, which unfortunately needs a lot of development.”
