Gameplay is marred by a lack of polish, with an overly aggressive auto lock-on mechanic that can hinder rather than help, particularly during boss fights. Additionally, the spinning spike enemies introduce frustrating RNG elements that can derail attempts at achieving high ranks, while the final two bosses are described as particularly disappointing and challenging in a negative way.
- “The auto-lock mechanic is more aggressive than it needs to be, often leading to deaths rather than assistance, especially during boss fights. Additionally, the spike enemies that continue spinning through resets introduce an unnecessary element of RNG, which can undermine your S-rank attempts. The final two bosses are genuinely among the worst experiences I've ever had in a game.”
- “The gameplay feels unpolished, with mechanics that often hinder rather than help. The aggressive auto-lock can lead to frustrating deaths, particularly in challenging encounters, and the spinning spike enemies add an element of randomness that can ruin your progress.”
- “Overall, the gameplay is marred by a lack of polish, with mechanics that create more frustration than enjoyment. The final bosses are particularly disappointing, making for a negative experience that overshadows the game's potential.”
