Unique concept featuring historical figures with distinct abilities, adding a fresh twist to the bullet hell/roguelike genre.
Engaging and addictive gameplay with varied characters, weapons, and stages, supported by a metaprogression system enhancing replayability.
Good pixel art style, animations, and music that complement the fast-paced action and thematic presentation.

Game is often seen as a clone of Vampire Survivors, with limited innovation in core gameplay mechanics and some repetitive grinding required.
Progression system is criticized for being overly complicated with multiple currencies and per-character unlocks, which can feel tedious and artificially difficult.
Some gameplay flaws including balance issues among characters, occasional visual clutter, occasional bugs, and a slow start that may deter some players.

The monetization for this title is criticized as being little more than misleading advertising, disguised as a full game to push sales of "Time Survivors." It wastes marketing space and offers poor value, with users discouraged from paying or viewing it as a legitimate game experience. Overall, the approach is considered harmful to both gamers and the industry.
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behavior and it's not good for gamers.”
- “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”

- “Engaging gameplay: the action-packed bullet hell and roguelike elements provide an exciting and challenging experience.”
- “With its unique blend of historical figures, quirky abilities, and addictive gameplay, this roguelike is a must-play.”
- “The new progression for the upgrade and the individual powers for each character make the gameplay more interesting.”
- “Abilities are kinda lame, and there are a lot of quality gameplay issues in general.”
- “If you take all things into consideration—art, progression, and gameplay—it all adds up to a promising survival-like experience looking to bring something new to the table instead of perfecting an already perfected game.”
- “It's the traditional gameplay loop of walking around, letting your weapons fight enemies, collecting upgrades, and fighting mini-bosses and bosses.”
