The gameplay of "Realm of the Ghost King" is criticized for being a poorly executed, simplified version of rogue-like mechanics, featuring low-quality pixel art and spyware issues. In contrast, another game mentioned, Sproggywood, offers a more engaging experience with better equipment options and deeper mechanics, making it more enjoyable for players seeking a richer gameplay experience. Overall, while "Realm of the Ghost King" may provide minimal puzzle elements, it lacks the depth and polish found in other titles.
- “While it's fairly minimal, the mechanics that exist are enough to create a fun little puzzle experience where you plan a few moves ahead to save and balance your resources as best you can.”
- “All that said, this is a simple game for some quick and enjoyable gameplay, where Sproggywood will eat hours of time.”
- “Realm of the Ghost King is a badly made amateur ripoff of rogue/hack, but with dumbed down gameplay, really poor pixel art, and it's got spyware embedded in it.”
- “There is one equipment (a spirit bomb), so mostly the gameplay is managing the movement sequence of the monster and player.”

The graphics are criticized for their reliance on outdated retro pixel art, lacking modern visual appeal and customization options such as resolution adjustments. This choice detracts from the overall experience, as players find the visuals unengaging and uninspired.
- “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
- “The graphics are retro-pixelated, the sound is mute-inducing, and the game lacks any story.”

The game is criticized for its lack of a coherent story and proper level design, relying instead on repetitive procedural generation that fails to engage players. Additionally, the retro-pixelated graphics and uninspiring sound contribute to an overall absence of narrative depth.
- “The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, as they opted to try to use the same repetitive procedural generation algorithms as a substitute for adding such content to the game, avoiding the important job of level/map design.”
- “The graphics are retro-pixelated, the sound is mute-inducing, and the game lacks any story.”
