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 is described as spammy and simplistic, resembling an arena hack and slash, which may not justify the game's steep price. Overall, while the experience can be enjoyable, it falls short of expectations in terms of gameplay complexity and innovation.
- “The fighting mechanics are okay; it's flailing swords, no physics or collisions, but the weapons look cool and you feel cool using them.”
- “Gameplay is a bit spammy, but it looks incredible.”
- “The price is a bit steep for the whole package, considering that it's basically an arena hack and slash with some story elements to move along a pretty repetitive game loop. However, slashing and defeating these contorted humanoid machines is fun, and although it could feel better with 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.”
- “The fighting mechanics are okay; it's just flailing swords with no physics or collisions. The weapons look cool, and you feel cool using them.”
- “The gameplay is a bit spammy, but it looks incredible.”
