The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring engaging mechanics like knockback and improved weapon stats that promote a bold playstyle through experimental skills. However, some users note that the experience can become derivative and may feel limited, with only 1-3 hours of progression before players can dominate subsequent runs.

- “Edit: I suppose I should mention that depending on skill level, you've got like 1-3 hours of gameplay until you max the 'roguelite' progression and can just stomp every run.”
- “Core gameplay is good.”
- “Derivative gameplay.”
