The gameplay is praised for its smoothness, fluidity, and quick pace, offering a fun experience reminiscent of old-school titles and Gauntlet remakes, while incorporating unique mechanics for weapon collection and usage. Although it can be unforgiving at times, players find the challenge rewarding, and the randomly generated levels help maintain variety and prevent monotony. Overall, the gameplay strikes a balance between nostalgia and innovation.
“Gameplay is smooth and visuals are nice.”
“The gameplay is very fluid, quick, and fun to play through; exactly what you would want out of it!”
“I'm enjoying it so far; it's a bit unforgiving at times, but once you get through the tough parts, it feels rewarding. In that respect, it's a bit like Dark Souls. The gameplay is not similar, but it is very old school. It plays a lot like some of the Gauntlet remakes I've played, but has its own unique spin in the way you collect and use weapons. I like the randomly generated levels; it stops it from getting too samey.”
“As I suspect that would slow down gameplay too much here, why not simply power down the traps after the monsters in the room are dead?”
