The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it fun and engaging due to its mechanics and roguelike elements, while others criticize it for being repetitive and plagued by technical issues like stuttering and lag. Some players appreciate the variety of builds and character designs, but many express frustration over the monetization strategies and lack of depth in gameplay, leading to a sense of monotony. Overall, while the core gameplay loop is enjoyable for some, it is hindered by performance problems and a perceived lack of originality.
- “The gameplay is slick, the characters and abilities fun, the graphics stylized and enjoyable. It does more than enough to provide a grand old time to players.”
- “The core gameplay loop is amazing, with engaging mechanics and a satisfying progression system that keeps you coming back for more.”
- “Super fun gameplay, love the roguelike style of the game, making combos of different perks and trying out new characters is awesome.”
- “You get to fight absolutely the same bosses with the same repeating mechanics (the game having around 15 different bosses does not help).”
- “Boring gameplay; it's literally the same thing over and over, and for some reason, it lags a lot. I have a pretty good PC too.”
- “The gameplay is monotonous, repetitive, and feels as if the developers had no idea for anything fresh.”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting severe stuttering issues regardless of their hardware specifications. Many users have experienced consistent performance drops and lag spikes, making the game nearly unplayable, especially during intense moments or boss fights. While some players report minimal issues, the overwhelming consensus is that significant optimization is needed to improve the overall experience.
- “The only real issue this game has is that it’s wildly unoptimized.”
- “It's a very enjoyable game at its core, but the optimization really killed it for me.”
- “When it's firing on all cylinders, it offers a genuinely fun experience—but frequent performance issues and uneven design choices keep it from reaching its full potential.”
- “The performance is literally worse than Cities: Skylines 2; you will experience hitching and stuttering every 30 seconds, to the level where you have to wait for at least 10 seconds, and then it will run great for 30 seconds before you wait another 10 seconds to keep playing. What trash this is!”
- “The stuttering is unbearable and borderline unplayable. I would only recommend this game if the stuttering is fixed and only then, for now I can't.”
- “The game has huge stuttering issues; yes, this is gameplay, but it was to the point that some shots and attacks would not register.”

The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and poorly integrated into the gameplay, with many players noting that it feels like an afterthought overshadowed by grind-heavy mechanics and progression systems. While some reviewers mention the potential for an interesting narrative, most agree that the actual storytelling is vague, lacking depth, and often buried under repetitive missions and lore that few players engage with. Overall, the consensus is that the story fails to captivate or provide a compelling reason to invest time in the game.
- “The plot itself is nothing crazy, pretty classic but it doesn't mean that it's bad, it's solid and the opening cutscene was pretty cool even though my brain had a bit of trouble following what was going on as well as trying to hear the dialogues behind the other sound effects.”
- “The tutorial and first mission are attempting to establish lore and build a world, and both did a fairly good job at introducing the mechanics of the game.”
- “But even then, the lore paints a far more interesting story than the game itself.”
- “No story whatsoever, very repetitive and boring.”
- “There's basically no story, only lore bits that are drip-fed through data pads found in rooms, FromSoft style.”
- “The story is nonexistent.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the art style and visual aesthetics as vibrant and appealing.

While some players appreciate the unique design elements, others criticize the reliance on AI-generated artwork and the lack of originality in character designs.
- “The game is currently in early access, but it already shines with its stunning graphics and smooth, immersive gameplay.”
- “The graphics are honestly way above my standards, and some of the boss intros are works of art.”
- “The game looks incredibly well made with good graphics and gameplay.”
- “The enemies look like walking toys; what is this graphics? But I'm here for the orbs anyways.”
- “I tried changing every graphic setting known to man, relaunching, graphics driver resets, lowering settings, and even with a 40 series graphics card, I'd still stutter.”

The monetization in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the aggressive presence of microtransactions, including paywalls for characters and a gacha system for cosmetics. While some users appreciate that the game can be enjoyed without spending money, others find the monetization practices overly intrusive and reminiscent of mobile games, leading to concerns about its impact on gameplay and player experience. Overall, the monetization model is seen as a significant drawback, overshadowing the game's potential.
- “While it’s true that monetization is present, the game still provides ways to earn rewards through events and regular play.”
- “I don't really care about the monetization because you can still play the game without it; as far as I can tell, you don't need gacha pulls for characters, so I know some people are complaining about that, but the gacha is purely cosmetic and most of the characters' base outfits look cute already.”
- “The monetization is not an issue in this game, and all the complaints of 'you have to purchase characters' is a bold-faced lie; people just didn't take two minutes to read how to unlock them and just assumed it was behind a paywall.”
- “The monetization feels aggressive with multiple currencies, battle passes, and gacha mechanics that make progression feel artificially slowed.”
- “While most claim that the monetization is problematic, I never experienced that.”
- “The only standout negative is the gaggle of microtransactions the game dangles in your face at every possible turn, which I am personally able to ignore because this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to these games.”

- “Man, this game looks so fun; shame it freezes every damn five seconds.”
- “The game freezes entirely until the lag spike is over, and it throws off your whole gameplay flow and thought process.”

- “Great for grinders as such but when I get zero T7 after grinding for 3 hours, I want to kms.”

- “I have to say, I’m in love with the character design.”
- “Character designs are generic.”
- “The character designs are very lackluster, for lack of a better term.”
- “The character designs feel like a cheap AI rip-off of other Chinese games, and look seriously generic, like they used faces from other model games, and changed their hairstyle, eye color, skin, or just added a 'jacket'.”

- “A fun roguelike with strong replay value—but some concerns remain.”

- “The gameplay gets a bit repetitive after you've established your favorite build, but maintains some elements of replayability with the inherent RNG nature of roguelikes.”
- “Replayable?”

Overall, the game has potential for fun, but its humor is often tied to its flaws and fan service elements.
- “Pretty funny game with the roguelike aspects, but also the difficulty in higher levels... but there are some issues with the game, like menu bugs with no feedback when you click, laggy response sometimes, monster bugs, random glitchy graphical lag every other minute, so there are some fixes that need to be addressed, but other than that I see the game having a lot of possibilities to become great, but honeycomb upgrades, passives, weapon changes etc. give us more of those!”
