The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with players noting a lack of depth due to limited defensive options and poor character controls that detract from the experience. While the game features smooth animations and can be enjoyable for casual gamers, many feel it falls short of the polished mechanics found in more challenging titles like Bloodborne. Overall, the simplicity and short length may appeal to some, but the rough edges and lack of satisfying mechanics leave others wanting more.
- “Adding a parry mechanic would be so awesome for this game if it got one, especially with the scythe.”
- “Sure it's short and the fight is on the easier side, but I'll take a simple but functioning game over one that has a dozen mechanics that don't work properly any day.”
- “Very fun game that challenges your abilities as a casual gamer with a Dark Souls-like gameplay where you have the disadvantage but can close the distance with constantly improving skill.”
- “There are two main issues with the gameplay: first, there's only one defensive option which makes it feel very boring.”
- “And although it's not a tough boss, the controls are really bad, making it hard to defeat. The character attacks on its own even when I only press movement buttons, and dodging isn't very accurate to the direction I want to go. The mechanics don't give me that much satisfaction like Bloodborne and other Souls games.”
- “One of the biggest gameplay-related problems is your own character.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their stunning quality and beautiful art style, especially considering it is a free title. Reviewers highlight the fluidity of the visuals and character design, noting that the graphics enhance the overall experience, even if some minor control issues exist. Overall, the game's graphics contribute significantly to its appeal, making it a standout in the indie game scene.
- “Lovely game, graphics were really good considering the game is free. It deserves more than that, even if the game is just one boss. The showdown of what I can only assume is Michael and Lucifer is really nice, and the combat was really good. Definitely recommend picking it up considering it's free.”
- “Fluid combat, amazing character design, beautiful graphics, nice soundtrack.”
- “A soulslike mini boss, graphics are stunning, smooth, and beautiful.”
- “It's the right sense of impossible yet manageable, while the deaths and frustration quickly stack up with the high definition and detail of the graphics, showing little to no care for realism and quality. It's just an example of an arcade game at its finest.”
- “There are some issues with controls and graphics which add to the difficulty.”

Many believe that a fuller story and voice acting could significantly enhance the overall experience. Currently, it feels more like a short game focused on combat rather than a complete adventure.
- “I 100% believe that this could be a great game if it was released with a full story and more bosses.”
- “I 100 percent believe that this could be a great game if it was released with a full story and more bosses.”
- “Lastly, I'd love to play a full version of the game with a story and voice acting.”
- “A storyless short game with Souls-like combat that takes you straight to a boss fight, which, if you win, you've already beaten the game.”
