The music in Snake Eyes Dungeon is described as a short, looping piece that plays every 20 seconds, which some players feel lacks variety and depth. While it fits the game's atmosphere, many reviewers suggest that a more diverse soundtrack would enhance the experience. Players do have the option to turn off the audio if desired.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively frustrating and unfair, particularly due to the reliance on RNG and the high costs of upgrades. This leads to a dull late-game experience that detracts from overall enjoyment.
“Fully RNG-based, frustrating and often unfair, focusing a lot on grinding, this game ended up disappointing me.”
“Upgrades are expensive, which makes this game extremely frustrating and grindy (notable in the late game, which becomes very dull, very fast).”

The story aspect of the game features quests that occasionally appear intriguing, but often lack meaningful engagement, as players find themselves primarily focused on repetitive tasks like defeating a set number of enemies. The gameplay is largely confined to a single map, with progression tied to completing missions for rewards and artifacts, which can diminish the overall narrative experience.
