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 physics and mechanics. The fighting is described as spammy and simplistic, resembling an arena hack and slash experience with minimal variation. Overall, while the aesthetic appeal is noted, many feel the gameplay does not justify the price.

- “Price is a bit steep for the whole package though, considering that it's basically an arena hack and slash with some story elements to move along a pretty repetitive game loop, but slashing and yeeting these contorted humanoid machines is fun. Although it could feel a bit better with some more physics implementation, parrying mechanics, and more enemy and attack/defense variation, it looks really badass.”
- “Really tried to like the game, but everything is bad gameplay-wise. How this game got that many good reviews on Quest, I don't know; it seems almost suspect.”
