The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that are easy to learn but can become challenging, especially with fewer than four players. While it offers enjoyable co-op experiences and some engaging bullet hell elements, players note a lack of replayability and a relatively short overall lifespan, with many completing the game in just a few hours. The ability to revive teammates adds a layer of strategy, but the limited variety in upgrades may hinder long-term engagement.
“Its mechanics are simple, and runs can go for however long you like, though with less than 4 players, the difficulty spike can be pretty steep.”
“After floor 9, there will be some surprisingly good bullet hell mechanics.”
“Gameplay is easy and quick to learn but maybe harder to master.”
“Good for a couple of hours with friends on console, but the shaky gameplay and the lack of replayability (through complete lack of player agency except in the XP upgrade, which aren't varied enough to provide interesting gameplay).”
“Fun to play, but pretty short lifespan (me and my friend got to the end credits in 3 hours of gameplay).”
“At first I was complaining how basic this game felt, but after giving it more of a chance, the game is pretty solid gameplay and pretty damn hard on average if you're not getting the right perks and weapons.”

While the game is enjoyable, players have noted significant optimization issues, including crashes that detract from the experience. Many feel that a save feature for each floor would help mitigate these problems, despite potential impacts on the rogue-lite mechanics. Overall, the game performs well in both online and offline modes.
“Runs smoothly online and offline.”
“This game is really fun, but every floor needs a save feature (even if it affects the roguelite aspect), because there are crashes and optimization issues that lead to frequent crashes.”
“The optimization is a mess; I often experience frame drops and stuttering, which ruins the overall experience.”
“While the gameplay is engaging, the lack of proper optimization makes it frustrating to play, as I encounter constant lag and performance issues.”
