The gameplay is generally praised for being action-packed and enjoyable, especially during boss fights, though some mechanics are not well explained. However, players feel limited by the small character selection and desire more customization options and smoother performance. There is also criticism regarding monetization, with concerns it prioritizes spending over gameplay enjoyment.

- “Not a lot of mechanics are explained well.”
grinding

Grinding in the game is a mix of rewarding and repetitive, with roguelike elements reducing tedium but still requiring significant time investment to build gear. While some find the grind engaging and addictive, others feel it becomes monotonous due to repeated item farming and limited visible weapon variety. Potential party mechanics might add depth later, but currently, grinding can feel tedious for some players.
- “Grinding requires investing centuries to build items, and currently there are only a few sets of gear available. The static basic attacks despite weapon type changes make it suck.”
- “After playing for a bit, it's not worth grinding to advanced points if they ever arrive, making the grind uninteresting.”
- “Having to start from the first floor every time leads to repetitive farming of common items, wasting time and making grinding very tedious.”
stability

Users report significant stability issues early in the game, including exploitable money glitches that can break the in-game economy. Additionally, players describe the game as buggy, indicating the presence of multiple glitches affecting gameplay.
- “Only 5 stars because I'm a glitch hunter. Early game, if you discover the money glitch, the in-game economy is broken. The vendor just gives you money, and you can buy legendary grade armor within one day. This unbalances the mid-game where you start pushing the demons.”
- “No ads required to revive for offline gamers, which can break the intended game flow.”
- “Buggy game.”

The game’s monetization is generally well-received, as ads are optional and provide useful rewards without being intrusive. However, some users are disappointed that certain classes are locked behind a paywall. Overall, the system offers fair control over in-game purchases and ad viewing.
- “Great game for passing time, it gives you complete control if you want something by watching ads. If not, they never force you and you can just carry on, though it's kind of sucky that other classes are locked behind a paywall.”
