The gameplay is praised for its engaging mechanics and rich content, reminiscent of a doom-themed Nuclear Throne, with appealing visuals and animations. However, players noted that the descriptions of mask abilities are lacking, though they can be understood through experimentation. Overall, the gameplay is considered enjoyable but could benefit from clearer instructions.
“Wonderful game with a lot of content and interesting mechanics; picture a doom-themed Nuclear Throne.”
“The masks are a cool mechanic, in my opinion, and the biggest downside I saw was not having good enough descriptions of what the mask abilities do (albeit after testing for a minute, it is easy enough to figure out).”
“Visuals are nice and beautiful, some animations are really good, and the gameplay is enjoyable.”
