The gameplay in this title is praised for its engaging mechanics and innovative features, such as a totem system for upgrades and a challenging difficulty curve. Players appreciate the balance and depth, noting that it offers a rich experience reminiscent of "Plants vs. Zombies" but with unique elements like movable trolls that enhance the overall enjoyment. With nearly 40 hours of playtime and a charming aesthetic, the game provides excellent value for its price.
- “This is scratching the PvZ itch perfectly, with the core gameplay similar but with a few mechanical innovations.”
- “While Reborn still retains the silly old wacky troll charm, the team continues to put in the effort on adding new features such as brutal difficulty, brand new challenge levels that are constantly updated, and replacing the micro-transaction mechanics with a totem system where you can spend runes to obtain new trolls, upgrades, and spell counts just by completing the level (depending on the difficulty).”
- “After almost 40 hours of gameplay and 28/28 achievements done, I can say the concept is like PvZ, but the gameplay has much more to offer than just a simple copy with different design.”
- “The movable trolls, to be honest, are game-changing; I love that mechanic.”
