The gameplay is a unique blend of roguelite and bullet-hell mechanics, 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, which adds a strategic layer to the experience. Overall, the game offers engaging challenges and a rewarding progression system.
- “But 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.”

The monetization strategy appears to be heavily influenced by mobile gaming practices, featuring an energy meter that limits gameplay unless players purchase more energy or watch advertisements. This approach may frustrate users who prefer a more traditional gaming experience without such restrictions.
- “This is no doubt a decision that was carried over from mobile, where I presume there is an energy meter letting you play so many times before you have to buy more or watch ads.”
