The gameplay of Omnifootman is a mixed bag, featuring a roguelike structure with souls-like mechanics that offer strategic depth through class systems and ability synergies. While the combat is engaging and responsive, players note issues with poor graphics, unpolished physics, and a lack of clarity in mechanics, leading to frustration, especially for newcomers. Overall, it provides around 15-20 hours of content, appealing primarily to fans of the genre despite its shortcomings.
- “The souls-like gameplay is actually well done and the class system makes you want to do another run, so it scratches that part of the roguelike fun.”
- “The game is a dungeon-crawler RPG with souls-like gameplay, items, procedural maps, and permanent items.”
- “It's a fun game with good combat mechanics that feel real.”
- “Omnifootman offers poor graphics, unpolished physics interactions, and generally low production value alongside straightforwardly souls-derivative basic combat mechanics, but it redeems itself with a selection of thoughtfully-implemented abilities with interesting synergies and strategic decisions to make in trying to create a functioning build out of whatever one happened to find on any given run.”
- “Mechanics are very poorly explained and 'inventory' is more of a concept.”
- “The visual cues are lacking; I'm dying pretty often right now as I'm getting a feel for the mechanics and basically never can tell when it actually happens other than eyeing my own health bar.”

The graphics of Omnifootman are generally considered subpar, with many reviewers noting amateurish design, unpolished physics, and low production value. While the visuals may not impress, some players find them sufficient for enjoyment, especially if they appreciate the game's strategic elements and can overlook the graphical shortcomings. The art style leans towards a cartoony aesthetic, which may appeal to some but detracts from the experience for others.
- “Based on a few sessions, I would say that the combat is solid (which is the most important part in my opinion) and the visuals are more than sufficient.”
- “The graphics style comes down to personal preference; I enjoy it, but it does have more of that cartoony look as you've probably noticed from the screenshots.”
- “I easily looked past the graphics and the sound quality (I just had my own music on).”
- “Omnifootman offers poor graphics, unpolished physics interactions, and generally low production value alongside straightforwardly souls-derivative basic combat mechanics.”
- “If you enjoy learning, adapting to, and strategically 'solving' a new game and aren't put off too much by low-rent graphics and physics, Omnifootman may be your style.”
- “It's about the price of a movie ticket, but you'll get more enjoyment out of this than a single 2-hour movie - as long as you can look past all of the amateurish mistakes like UI bugs, spelling errors, lack of settings, audio bugs, subpar graphics, etc.”
