Each boss has unique attack patterns, adding some variety to combat.
The game includes quests, character progression, and basic RPG elements like buying armor and food.
Some players found it to be a cute indie game with fun stories, quests, and multiple characters to unlock.

The controls are clunky, unresponsive, and poorly optimized for both keyboard and controller.
Graphics are outdated, low quality, and the game only supports a fixed 4:3 windowed aspect ratio with no options for resolution or audio settings.
The game is riddled with bugs, glitches, and poor game design choices such as erratic enemy behavior, a confusing day/night visibility mechanic, and lack of polish overall.

The graphics are widely criticized for being amateurish and outdated, resembling simple, low-effort 2D art similar to basic paint software outputs, with poor design choices such as standard fonts inappropriate for games. There is a lack of graphical options like resolution settings, and overall the visuals fail to meet the expectations of PC gamers, contributing to a subpar and unimpressive presentation.
- “The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, typical of low-effort mobile apps.”
- “Considering this is a PC game, the graphics feel phoned in and fail to deliver the high-quality, visually impressive experience PC gamers expect.”
- “Graphics are colorful, but quite ordinary.”
- “A primitive, undeveloped, fully defective amateur attempt at a platformer game that is full of bugs, lousy with hideous artwork, and having truly atrocious controls.”
- “The overall visual presentation gives the impression that graphical assets were created using simple software like Microsoft Paint, and all texts appear to have been prepared using a basic word processor, even maintaining a font that is commonly used for writing, and not for a graphical user interface.”
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”

The gameplay is widely criticized for being unpolished, with janky controls and poor responsiveness that detract from the overall experience. It feels rushed and under-tested, leading to an unsatisfying and confusing gameplay feel.
- “It's janky and unsatisfying to play. Any experienced gamer will tell you that the handling, responsiveness, and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed.”
- “Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing.”
- “Controls, graphics, gameplay... nothing makes sense.”

The game's music is considered ordinary, but the lack of proper audio controls—specifically the inability to turn off background music in-game—frustrates users, who must use external methods to mute it.
- “Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music; you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”

The game's stability is poor, with frequent bugs and glitches affecting nearly every aspect of gameplay, leading to a frustrating user experience.

The monetization of Spooky Heroes is criticized for its $5 price tag, which users feel is unjustified due to the game's defects and shortcomings, especially when compared to numerous free, higher-quality alternatives on Steam.
- “Spooky Heroes has a cash grab price of around $5 USD. It's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings of the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, higher-quality games on Steam.”
