The graphics of the game have been criticized for their low-quality pixel art, which some users find unappealing compared to more polished visuals.

- “Graphics on the Slime King's Tower are very simple and in 8/16 bit roguelike style.”
- “This features really godawful pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to the necessity of grinding for coins, especially in the PC version where ad-based coin boosts are unavailable. While some characters require significant effort to unlock, the game's autosave feature offers a slight reprieve from potential soft locks, though the overall experience can become monotonous.
- “Luckily, the game autosaves so you can sometimes change what you do in-game in order to not inevitably soft lock again, but this obviously grows tedious.”
- “It's a mobile port and it shows; you have to grind for coins. There is a button to press to watch ads to gain more coins, but this is disabled in the PC version, making the grind even more tedious.”
