“Beautifully presented and runs incredibly smoothly despite the gorgeous aesthetics and effects.”
“The anime style cel-shaded graphics work great.”
“I was immediately drawn in by the aesthetic and could not believe the low price (note: please consider raising it over time.. the game is already well worth more than $3).”
“Cons: I'm not a fan of the graphics, but that's just a minor complaint.”
“Needs more graphical options to clean edges on UI elements and remove the black borders.”
“It's basically Vampire Survivors with better graphics and some added features, it controls like a twin-stick shooter and you can dash to avoid or attack enemies.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its solid mechanics, diverse character options, and engaging progression system, offering plenty of replay value and a satisfying experience. However, some players note that it can feel grindy at times and leans towards being easier than expected, with certain gameplay elements lacking depth. Overall, the game successfully combines enjoyable visuals and character design with a smooth gameplay loop that encourages experimentation.
“Solid game with lots of things to do: various characters to unlock and play as, different challenges to accomplish, interesting weapons, skills, and mechanics to delve into and utilize to improve your build.”
“The progression and gameplay loop is exceptionally addicting even in its genre, encouraging you to experiment with everything, and introducing its mechanics at a good pace early on to keep you hooked.”
“Gameplay is smooth, great design, 12-15 minute stages is just right to me, and individual character progression trees so far seems like a good incentive to play the different characters.”
“Quality is fine and serviceable, but the gameplay feel leaves a lot to be desired.”
“The start is relatively grindy with the game requiring you to play the same character multiple times to unlock new powers, despite offering no meaningful gameplay changes.”
“I'm not sure why they went with speedrun mechanics and then bosses have a set pattern where large AoE makes you unable to be close or you die.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while the fun characters and powers keep it engaging, the initial grind to unlock new abilities can feel repetitive and tedious. Although there is a lot of content available, much of it is perceived as similar and tied to grindy unlocks, leading to a desire for adjustments in the requirements for progression.
“The start is relatively grindy with the game requiring you to play the same character multiple times to unlock new powers, despite offering no meaningful gameplay changes.”
“Lots of content but most of it feels very same-ish or is linked to grindy unlocks.”
“I hope they ease up on the number requirements for lore down the road because that is tedious.”

The story is structured around character-specific progression, requiring players to complete lore quests to unlock additional narrative elements. This design creates a sense of depth but can feel restrictive as much of the content is locked behind specific quests.
