The gameplay is described as fast-paced and vigorous, reminiscent of Elden Ring, offering a compelling, character-driven, cinematic experience.

“Fast-paced and vigorous gameplay akin to that of Elden Ring with a compelling, character-driven, cinematic-like experience.”
“Best gameplay.”
“I wouldn't mind if the game didn't have the 1000 boots/2 hours of autoclicking idle achievements, but if you just want some meme, go play Pony Island and if you want some terminal fun, go play Hacknet or something; these have real value and actual gameplay.”
