The gameplay is praised for its solid mechanics, blending rhythm elements with traditional survivor-like features, which adds a unique twist to the genre. Players appreciate the variety of weapons and combinations available, as well as the rewarding nature of engaging with the rhythm-based firing system. However, some critique the lack of differentiation among unlockable characters and note that while core roguelike elements are present, they are not particularly innovative.
- “If you look at this game without the rhythm mechanic, it's still a pretty solid survivor-like with a decent amount of weapons and some good combinations out there.”
- “I usually give most survivor-like games a couple of runs to decide if they are a game that I want to sink more hours into, and this one, due to its charm in the design, be it art or gameplay, sparked that desire to see all it has to offer.”
- “If you like rhythm games as well as survivor-type games, this game brings an interesting change to the genre with the rhythm mechanics.”
- “I also don't understand the point of having unlockable characters in a game like this when there is really no difference between them gameplay-wise.”
- “Core roguelike mechanics exist, nothing shiny and fancy.”
- “The autoshooting mode should not discourage players from trying the normal mode of firing along the beat because those that use the normal gameplay are actively rewarded as you are getting your attacks off much faster than if you were to use the autoshooting mode.”
