The gameplay of "Space Will" is a slower-paced experience compared to "Brotato," featuring a greater variety of enemies and new mechanics like ship customization and weapon management. While some players find the controls challenging, the game offers addictive gameplay with extensive build variety and solid item synergy, making it appealing to fans of the genre. Overall, it successfully builds on the "Brotato" formula while integrating well-designed mechanics.
- “Addictive gameplay with a very big variety of builds since there are too many weapons that can be leveled up, combining with the same type and boosted with other perks that you might select.”
- “Core gameplay is solid, with lots of variations on builds.”
- “Addictive gameplay, the best item synergy I have seen to date; keep up the amazing work.”
- “The gameplay of Space Will is a bit slower than Brotato, mainly because the enemies that rush you move a bit more slowly. However, a greater variety of enemies appears earlier, with enemies using fireball barrages and sweeping beams that limit your movement even from the lowest levels.”
- “Not your regular 'Vampire Survivors', the controls are weird. It feels like learning to move and aim is the main mechanic. This game is not for me; I love this genre, but I don't want to spend hours trying to learn how to pilot and aim with this 'spaceship'.”
- “The mechanics are identical to those in any other similar game.”
