The gameplay of this roguelike sequel largely retains the core mechanics and fast-paced action of the original, with a wealth of new weapons, mechanics, and build variety that many players find fun and satisfying. However, some reviewers note that it feels like an expanded rehash rather than a significant evolution, with certain systems feeling diluted or poorly integrated—especially co-op connectivity and balancing—leading to occasional stutters, latency issues, and a sense of repetitiveness for some. Overall, while progression and variety add depth, the gameplay experience is somewhat polarizing, praised for its addictiveness and expanded options but criticized for lacking innovation and polish in certain areas.
- “Great fast paced roguelike with a lot of funny mechanics.”
- “Most games in this genre focus more on stat based power scaling but fail to provide meaningful action based mechanics with their weapons and skills.”
- “The randomization of the loot on each floor really makes for exciting gameplay and with so many weapon options I think there is something for everyone.”
- “Poorly integrated co-op systems: it's a peer-to-peer system routing through servers in Asia/Europe/America, introducing additional latency if you live far from servers, causing common desyncs and making the combat gameplay lackluster at best; it really needs a true peer-to-peer connection.”
- “The gameplay itself is a mess.”
- “Disappointing: the game will improve eventually but for now it's just a re-hash of the first game with a sterile UI and downgraded game mechanics (only the important ones of course); don't buy it yet, just play the first one if you want to have fun.”

The graphics receive widespread praise for their vibrant neon-soaked pixel art style that enhances the fast-paced, chaotic gameplay without becoming overwhelming. The game improves upon its predecessor's aesthetics with updated visuals, cleaner interfaces, and well-designed bosses, though some users note occasional uncanny character portraits and a busier art style that can feel cluttered. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to an immersive and polished experience, despite minor critiques on visual cohesion and weapon design.
- “Bosses are more reactive, fights feel faster, and the neon aesthetic pops without becoming overwhelming.”
- “The neon-soaked visuals and energetic soundtrack keep the action flowing, and the fast-paced gunplay just feels great.”
- “It takes the good aspects of the first game and expands upon it and makes everything amazing, the visuals are beautiful and the gameplay is smooth.”
- “Nothing like the first game other than art style, and even here that isn't done well.”
- “I wish they made the graphics better at least.”
- “Either way, the character art feels strange and uncanny to me and it clashes with the pixelated graphics of the rest of the game.”
