The gameplay is a unique blend of match-three mechanics and blacksmithing, which many players find addictive and challenging. However, some users feel that the integration of these elements is lacking, leading to a disconnect in the overall experience, and express a desire for a return to previous gameplay styles that emphasized weapon selling. Despite these criticisms, the core mechanics remain engaging for those who enjoy the combination of puzzle-solving and crafting.
“The gameplay is very original and challenging.”
“While the core gameplay remained the same, the addition of the popular rogue-lite elements seemed worth trying.”
“The theme and the core gameplay didn't seem to be integrated at all.”
“The contradiction in mechanics really bothers me.”
“Although I do wish there was a mode to return to the old 'selling weapons to guards and adventurers' gameplay, even if it's stripped down.”

Players feel that while there is potential for further optimization in their strategies, the existing scoring system rewards them sufficiently, leading to a lack of motivation to refine their item choices.
“I could have optimized my strategy even more if I'd cared about what specific items I was making, but I was getting 'S' scores already and there didn't seem to be a point.”
