The gameplay is characterized as a dungeon-crawling tactical experience that utilizes a unique "tilt the board" sliding mechanic reminiscent of 2048, allowing players to move both themselves and monsters. While it is easy to pick up, the game offers surprising depth, distinguishing itself from other deck-building rogue-lites with its novel approach. Overall, players find the gameplay fun and engaging, despite some concerns about the lack of traditional RPG mechanics.
- “It is a dungeon crawling tactical game where the key gimmick is that you use the 'tilt the board' style sliding mechanics from games like 2048 to move yourself and the monsters.”
- “It's a neat mechanic, but doesn't have a whole lot of depth.”
- “Easy to play, but surprisingly deep gameplay.”
- “But while there are no shortage of deck-building rogue-lites nowadays, Rogueslide is quite novel in terms of its mechanics.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be strategic, likening it to solving a Rubik's cube where initial challenges give way to pattern recognition and repetitive effort to achieve goals.
- “It requires thought and strategy, whereas 2046 ended up being kind of like a Rubik's Cube - seemingly challenging at first, but ultimately a matter of learning the patterns for success and grinding through them to meet the objective.”
