The gameplay is described as simple yet addictive, featuring a solid core loop and engaging mechanics, though it suffers from a lack of variety in enemies and some technical issues like crashes and menu navigation problems. Players appreciate the environmental interactions and the dodge mechanic, but some find it inconsistent, especially when facing multiple close-combat enemies. Additionally, the difficulty spike between chapters necessitates grinding for progression, which can disrupt the flow of the game.
“The gameplay loop is simple yet addictive.”
“Solid foundation with a fun core gameplay loop and decent meta-progression.”
“Fun and engaging gameplay.”
“Although they made the models and code, the game is almost identical in enemies and mechanics.”
“I like environment interaction where you can push blocks into enemies to one-shot them or jump into water to dodge nasty mechanics (not sure if this one is intended though).”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be overly repetitive and tedious, leading to a sense of boredom over time. The lack of build diversity contributes to the feeling that most gameplay runs are similar, making the grind feel less rewarding.
“I must say that it can get a little too grindy and too repetitive.”
“It's kind of tedious and boring after some time, unfortunately. There is not much build diversity, so most runs feel pretty much the same.”
“Great job... now if you'll excuse me, I have to finish chapter 2 with the help of some grinding.”
