The gameplay is criticized for being shallow and lacking depth, with limited mechanics such as a poor jumping system and an overall failure to fully realize its interesting concepts. While some spells offer unique mechanics, the control scheme detracts from the experience, leaving players wanting more substance. Despite its shortcomings, the game's brevity prevents it from overstaying its welcome.

- “Spells with good impact and different mechanics.”
- “More cool Jedi tricks shall be discussed in the gameplay section of my review, but for now let’s just focus on the narrative.”
- “The game has an interesting story and idea for gameplay, too bad it barely goes anywhere with it; every aspect goes as deep as surface level.”
- “This game doesn't have a decent jumping mechanic, or at least, not for jumping on platforms.”
- “In the proverbial shadow of those two, Lichdom: Battlemage attempted to emulate certain gameplay elements, but largely failed because of its atrocious control scheme.”
