The gameplay of this auto-battler is praised for its unique mechanics that prioritize skill over luck, offering a fresh take on the genre with features like build-your-own traits and strategic alliances. While players appreciate the intuitive design and engaging complexity, some express disappointment over the lack of multiplayer options and the presence of random elements that can affect outcomes. Overall, the game is seen as a promising addition to the auto-battler landscape, encouraging both casual and competitive play.
- “This game was a really fun, fresh take on the new auto-battler craze that stripped the bad RNG from its competitors and replaced them with skill-testing mechanics.”
- “The build-your-own traits mechanic was such a fun concept to mess around with and explore.”
- “Very cool auto chess game, different from others in the genre, this one has way less luck factor thanks to some design decisions on the gameplay, making strategy way more valuable than in other games of the genre.”
- “The second complaint is the danger mechanic.”
- “- too much random mechanics, many traits and items are 5-95% which sucks; for me it would be better if it was something like 'every 6/5/4 hit apply effect' or '+10/20/30 magic damage' so randomness would be less.”
- “I do think there are some gameplay mechanics that could eventually come back and haunt it, however.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality, with many users noting that they surpass those of other auto-battlers.

Overall, the game's graphics are considered a strong point, especially for a pre-alpha release.

- “Prophecy was much better than all the other auto-battlers, and I'm not just talking about the graphics.”
- “- On my LCD 2560x1440, the graphics are strangely unsharpened.”

The game offers significant replayability, featuring deep strategy and tactical flexibility that encourages adaptation, making each playthrough feel fresh. However, some users note that despite its engaging nature, there may be a limit to how often they return to it, suggesting a finite replay value after several hours of enjoyment.

- “It makes for excellent replay value since this demand for adaptation keeps things fresher.”

Players express frustration with long wait times for PvP matches and are concerned that the game may be heavily monetized with microtransactions, potentially detracting from the overall experience.

- “It's disappointing to see so many features locked behind paywalls, making it hard to progress without spending real money.”
