Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of polished mechanics and a clunky control scheme, leading to a somewhat frustrating experience. While the core gameplay loop is addictive and the weapon upgrade system is engaging, the building mechanics are underutilized and the overall focus lacks clarity. Despite these issues, the game offers a unique experience with strong art design, making it enjoyable for short play sessions.
“The core gameplay loop is super addictive.”
“The mechanics all work really well and feel quite polished.”
“This game offers a unique gameplay loop.”
“Instead, the gameplay and the mechanics are very clunky.”
“And because the gameplay isn't enjoyable in the least, I don't see a reason to play.”
“The gameplay is unfortunately taken back by the awful control scheme and floaty movement.”

The game's story, while minimal, is described as engaging with a "Rick & Morty" interdimensional vibe that captivates players during gameplay. However, many reviewers note that the focus is more on mission-based objectives rather than a deep narrative, leading to a repetitive experience once players become overpowered. Overall, it serves as a decent entry point into the roguelike genre, but lacks substantial story elements and variety in missions.
“It's a roguelike, but I went into a 3-hour roleplaying binge and was fully invested in the story.”
“The story has serious Rick & Morty interdimensional vibes, but it's done very well.”
“In spite of there being some rough spots, like sound design and limited mission variety, these guys did a stellar job focusing on what matters the most.”
“I recommend this as a good entry game into the genre because it is short, the price is right, there's no story and very few RPG elements to worry about.”
“The building mechanics aren't really that interesting and the different types of objectives, other than killing, in the missions are more of an annoyance than fun things to do and don't add enough difficulty or variety to them.”
“The devs added a survivors-like mode, so it's not explicitly false, but it's not a good description of the play experience, which is mission-based with no real loss on death besides mission failure, and has little procedural value.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, described as fun, cute, and twisted without being overly cringe-worthy, often leaning towards middle school potty humor. While many players enjoy the comedic elements, some note that the humor can become repetitive and is accompanied by gameplay issues, such as unbalanced difficulty and minor bugs. Overall, the humor adds to the enjoyment of the game, though it may not sustain interest throughout the entire experience.
“The humor is just twisted enough without being super cringe.”
“Love the humor and the game.”
“Great and funny game ;) I just want more!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game enjoyable for casual play and relaxation, but tedious when attempting to achieve 100% completion. The lack of markers for collected items adds to the frustration of searching for missed collectibles, making the completionist experience feel aimless and time-consuming.
“I also wish the maps had marks for all the stamps you already collected, because it's very tedious to aimlessly wander all over the place in search of that one you missed.”
“Great to rush through, tedious to 100% complete.”
“Goofy easy grindy game... great to blow off steam or chill after a long day at work, but the grinding can feel repetitive.”
