Gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics and controls, making it accessible but lacking depth. While puzzles can be enjoyable, combat is criticized for being ineffective, with upgrades feeling meaningless and levels lacking engaging elements like traps or well-designed boss fights. Overall, the experience is described as basic and unchallenging, failing to provide a compelling gameplay experience.
“The puzzles and gameplay are pretty fun.”
“The combat is bad, upgrades do nothing (got an upgrade to a basic sword but it still takes 2 hits on the armored enemies to kill them...so what was the point exactly?), gems do nothing (no store to unlock abilities), and the levels are devoid of anything to make them interesting (traps, meaningful puzzles, boss fights that weren't gotchas until you figure out the mechanic that hadn't been explained or telegraphed well at all).”
“All mechanics and controls are simple and basic, so don't expect anything like cool skills or any button shortcuts.”
“You're given the bare minimums to start with, and at no point in the game do you feel pressured to memorize certain mechanics.”
