The gameplay is primarily focused on progression mechanics, emphasizing character customization and equipment management rather than active combat, making it more suited for idle play. While the auto-play AI performs adequately, players may find the need to pause frequently to manage upgrades and abilities, which can slow down the experience. Overall, the game offers engaging RPG elements that cater to those who enjoy deep progression systems, though it may not satisfy players looking for fast-paced action.
- “The core gameplay is more about fine-tuning your character's equipment, abilities, and passives.”
- “This game has a number of progression mechanics and unlocks, a lot of which comes with a good amount of customization.”
- “It has addictive progression mechanics and provides a good amount of dopamine for those who like this kind of thing.”
- “The beginning of the game gives you the impression you should try to play this actively; however, the way you earn gold and upgrades makes the gameplay loop much more suited for automatic idle play instead.”
- “The problem with playing this as a survivor-like game is the sheer number of level-ups you will be dealing with, on top of managing the equipment and abilities. Unless you pause the gameplay when you meddle with these elements, it will make each run take ages. The auto-play AI does a pretty decent job, so if you like to focus on the equipment side of things, this game may scratch that itch.”
- “Like I said, you need to be more in the mood for progression gameplay over individual run-to-run action gameplay.”
