The gameplay is praised for its unique and well-managed mechanics, offering a fast-paced and engaging deckbuilding experience with strategic depth. While it can take a few runs to fully grasp the systems, the quick energy cycling and varied options make each turn dynamic and fun. However, some note that similar grid-based card battle games have provided a more enjoyable experience.

- “It took me a run or two to fully understand the mechanics, but once you do this is a fun little card battler.”
- “The game mechanics, grid-based card battling have been done many times before - I've played several games that play similarly and I enjoyed them all more than Rustbowl.”
- “You have to pay attention to the different mechanics and which ones to optimize.”
- “Thanks to the game's starting energy of 4 and ability cards cycling themselves by drawing new cards from your deck, the gameplay runs quickly and gives you lots of options each turn.”
