The gameplay features several intriguing mechanics, such as trapping monster spirits and upgrading rings, which could enhance the experience. However, players find the overall mechanics to be overly simplistic and punishing, particularly regarding ring deposits after wins, and the challenging AI makes it difficult to fully grasp the game's systems. Overall, while there is potential for depth, the current execution feels limited and short-lived.
