The gameplay is characterized by a mix of light turn-based mechanics, minimal roguelike progression, and some spell synergy, but lacks depth and meaningful narrative integration. Players can unlock lore entries, yet the overall experience remains repetitive with limited variation in maps and enemy placements. While it offers casual enjoyment and is easy to learn, it may not satisfy those seeking a more robust and engaging gameplay experience.
- “As you advance, you can upgrade your abilities and unlock upgrades for your health, mana, etc. I found the gameplay to be novel and interesting, easy to learn, but challenging to master.”
- “It has a bit of everything: you get some light turn-based gameplay with some depth, a bit of roguelike progression, and some interesting synergy mechanics when it comes to your spells.”
- “I recommend, for the moment, to either buy if you're interested in playing for a bit as a sort of casual gameplay thing, or to wait for a further stage in development.”
- “The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative-based gameplay progression, and so on.”
- “It has a bit of everything, of course: you get some light turn-based gameplay with some depth (but not much either), a bit of roguelike progression (not much either) and some lore (that doesn't really feel like it is reflected upon gameplay). You also have some interesting synergy mechanics when it comes to your spells, but then again, not much, as once you pull one reliable combo, you'll probably stick to that.”
- “Here, in Ravenweald, however, you can unlock all lore entries and nothing seems to change in the overall gameplay: you'll keep going, and going, fighting these bird-like monsters across variations of a map, the same tileset, except it changes some squares and some enemy placements.”

The story is engaging and immersive, drawing players in despite initial challenges and character losses, similar to the experience in Darkest Dungeon. While the main narrative is considered balanced, it effectively motivates players to persist through difficulties to uncover its depth.
- “Darkest Dungeon, as an example, offers a really interesting story, but in order to discover what's all the fuss about, you'll die, again and again, and you'll lose your characters, again and again, but you will keep coming back because you're immersed in the story, and thus, you have a motive to keep moving forward.”

The graphics in "Ravenweald" are widely criticized for being mediocre and lacking polish, which detracts from the overall appeal of the game and contributes to its inability to attract players, despite its free-to-play model.
- “Ravenweald is an interesting idea for a game, but wow, the visuals feel phoned in.”
- “This game has some really mediocre-looking graphics that will understandably be a turn-off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract players despite having no up-front cost.”
