The gameplay is praised for its engaging and challenging mechanics, featuring a variety of characters, weapons, and a rewarding loop that encourages replayability. While some players note a lack of content and biomes, the overall experience is described as polished, fun, and addictive, with unique elements reminiscent of popular titles like "Nuclear Throne" and "Enter the Gungeon." The game offers a mix of strategic decision-making and action, making it a standout in its genre despite some areas for improvement.
“The team mischief gameplay is interesting and challenging when you have to heal and manage the health of all 4 characters.”
“Absolutely awesome gameplay, very polished and fun so far.”
“Nuclear Throne style gameplay with mining and fully destructible terrain, Risk of Rain style difficulty escalation, and a killer presentation.”
“It's just, it is a game with a lot of untapped potential, because the vision of the developer seems to be mainly built around the idea of getting scores and upgrades, to get even higher scores. I need a finale; it's one of the reasons why I really like 'The Binding of Isaac' - you can replay that game as many times for the gameplay, but you'll always know it'll finish eventually.”
“Things like 5% reduced cooldown need too much line-up rolls to actually have some kind of positive outcome in core gameplay.”
“Maybe add some kind of tooltips to gameplay modes.”
