- “The grid mechanic adds a fresh layer to traditional card gameplay, and the cheerful art direction and snappy pacing make each session a joy to play.”
- “This is an actually innovative deckbuilder that turns a lot of conventions on their head with clever mechanics and a totally novel gameplay structure.”
- “Gameplay features interesting and unique mechanics, multiple characters with very different play styles, and a depth that you might not expect from the art style.”
- “Additionally, while the game has a fair amount of content, players looking for extensive long-term progression systems or deep storytelling may find the experience more mechanical than emotional.”
- “But, in the end, the base loop of gameplay just isn't fun enough - not even for a puzzle-lover like me.”

The graphics of "Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale" are characterized by a distinctive, hand-drawn art style reminiscent of "Adventure Time," which many players find charming and expressive. While the visuals are praised for their creativity and unique aesthetic, some users note that the simplistic 2D graphics may not appeal to everyone and can feel repetitive or grating over time. Overall, the game's art direction is a significant draw, contributing to its whimsical atmosphere and engaging gameplay.
- “The hand-drawn art style is distinctive—simple but expressive—and the animations, though modest, give life to the whimsical characters and enemies you encounter.”
- “The art style is gorgeous if you like the art of Adventure Time (like I do).”
- “The art style is outstanding, all characters look great and have that dark/wacky fantasy style fans of Adventure Time know and love.”
- “Everything has weird delays, the art style tries to be charming but just comes off as kind of grating. A lot of the sound effects are annoying, and the optimal winning strategies are all about duping as many tiles as possible, which becomes tedious as you have to dig through your deck for ages to find that last enemy.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic cartoony art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “The artwork is nauseating, and I feel unwell looking at the characters.”

- “Replayability is one of the game’s strongest features.”
- “The game has multiple characters, each with unique playstyles, so replayability is great.”

- “There definitely could be a lot more substance to the unlock system and harder difficulties, which unfortunately damages the game's replayability.”
- “I bought the game and I didn't stop until I beat the game with the available characters; I think more items and spells would make it even more replayable.”
- “With two characters currently in the game, it's a little bit light as far as variety, but the game already feels fully featured and has some solid replayability thanks to the variety of perks, cards, and ascension-style difficulty levels.”

The game is contentless (procedurally generated only) 2D mobile app card game/deck builder/Slay the Spire ripoff with a quirky old-man theme as you build/upgrade your deck and play through card battles.”
