Overall, the game is noted for its enjoyable and innovative approach, despite some minor concerns about certain features.

- “In any case, Roguejack is a smart mash-up of rogue-like and blackjack mechanics.”
- “It seems like there's a 'running' mechanic where you can outpace the enemies 1:1 movement ratio, but I'm honestly not 100% sure it isn't a bug.”
