Reviewers suggest that the gameplay requires enhancements in combat and player mechanics to unlock greater potential for variety in options, arenas, game modes, and enemies. While the sandbox nature of the game is appreciated, there is a consensus that refining these core mechanics is essential for overall improvement.

The game's optimization has been criticized for significant performance issues, particularly during magic effects, which can cause frame rates to plummet to around 5 fps, necessitating game restarts. Players also report a blurry visual experience or low fps when adjusting SteamVR resolution settings, indicating that optimization improvements are needed.
“You either play in a blurry mess (which isn't that bad, to be fair), or play with low FPS using SteamVR resolution settings. It might be my system as well, but there's really nothing in this game that justifies such poor performance, in my opinion.”
“There are performance issues that need to be addressed. Whenever there is any type of magic involved, like fire, the FPS dips to around 5 FPS, and I need to restart the game.”
