The gameplay is criticized for being minimal and unengaging, with only a couple of minutes of actual action overshadowed by tedious tasks and achievements that pad the experience. Players also noted technical issues, such as the mouse not being locked to the gameplay area, further detracting from the overall experience. Overall, the game feels empty and lacking in substantial content.
“The gameplay that’s there isn’t ‘bad’ per se, the issue is more there’s only a minute or two of it, composing a single ‘fight’, and the majority of my ~40 minutes of playing was getting a single tedious achievement afterwards.”
“This 'game' has 2 minutes of gameplay and like 10 of walking to towers only for an achievement to pad out game time.”
“Empty game, really does include about 10 minutes of gameplay, if not less.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be cryptic and tedious, with much of the gameplay time spent on repetitive tasks rather than engaging content. While the actual combat is not considered bad, the limited amount of it leads to a frustrating experience dominated by grinding for achievements.
