The gameplay is a unique blend of roguelite and bullet-hell mechanics, featuring short challenges where players accumulate buffs during combat but lose them upon returning to the hub. A standout feature is the requirement to stand still while shooting, adding a strategic layer to the experience. Overall, the game offers rewarding mechanics and engaging gameplay for fans of the genre.
“This game has good gameplay for being a roguelike.”
“The gameplay is a unique combination of roguelite and bullet-hell where you accumulate buffs each time you go through the combat zone and lose those buffs when you return to the hub, where you can get permanent upgrades or choose to play as the loli's sister, who is equally bad at English and also thinks she is some kind of demon lord.”
“The most original mechanic here is also the part that feels strangely rewarding; counter-intuitively, you only shoot while standing still.”
“Short gameplay and challenges.”

The game offers significant replayability for completionists aiming to fully upgrade all six weapons, although this involves repeatedly playing the same level multiple times.
“Completionists who want to max out all 6 weapons will find a lot of replay value here, even if it means playing one level multiple times to achieve that.”
“The game offers a variety of choices and paths, making each playthrough feel unique and encouraging players to explore different strategies.”
“With multiple endings and character builds, the game invites players to dive back in and experience new outcomes with each run.”
“Completionists who want to max out all 6 weapons will find a lot of replay value here, though it will require playing one level many times to achieve that.”

The monetization strategy appears to be influenced by mobile gaming practices, featuring an energy meter that limits gameplay unless players purchase more energy or watch advertisements.
“This is undoubtedly a decision that was carried over from mobile, where I presume there is an energy meter that lets you play so many times before you have to buy more or watch ads.”
“The monetization strategy feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without constantly being prompted to spend money.”
“It seems like the game is designed to push players towards microtransactions, which detracts from the overall experience.”
