    The gameplay is praised for its potential in both single and co-op modes, featuring a variety of mechanics such as character customization, skill trees, and diverse mission types that enhance replayability. While the initial experience is enjoyable, some reviewers suggest that additional content will be necessary for long-term engagement. Overall, the game is seen as a fun and groovy experience with a solid foundation, reminiscent of titles like "Risk of Rain" and "Hades."

    • “I see this having a lot of potential for single and co-op gameplay.”
    • “The aesthetic is wonderful, the power-ups, skill trees, and character customizations lead to so many gameplay possibilities. There's a fun variety of mission types, and the music and overall vibe are groovy throughout.”
    • “I'm liking this. I was part of the closed beta, and I didn't like what they were going for. They changed it a lot since I played, and I think it's a lot better. It kind of reminds me of Risk of Rain gameplay but with Hades progression. It could be a time killer type of game; I would definitely play it when it comes out.”
    • “So with all of that, I'm certain the first 20 hours will be plenty fun, but I imagine it will need a lot more put into the game to be fun for longer. At the very least, it has amazing bones, so basically just copy-pasting, but changing one thing on all the abilities, weapons, and enemies would surely make for 200+ hours of gameplay. Even as is now, it's plenty worth a download and a few hours of your life.”
