Gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players praising its fun and visually impressive combat, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth, particularly in mechanics like physics and enemy variety. The fighting feels spammy and simplistic, resembling an arena hack and slash, but many still find enjoyment in the action despite its shortcomings.
