The game offers a fun and engaging experience reminiscent of Dungeon Keeper, with enjoyable gameplay mechanics and a good loop.
The tutorial is well-designed, making it accessible for both new and experienced VR players, while the art style and atmosphere effectively convey the 'villain protagonist' theme.
Great performance with minimal bugs, and the game has a good amount of content, providing around 10 hours of gameplay across 19 levels.

The game feels unfinished, lacking a compelling story and depth, with repetitive objectives and minimal tactical challenges.
There are issues with the user interface and information presentation, making it difficult to manage resources and understand minion statuses during gameplay.
Some players find the art style too simplistic and the overall atmosphere lacking the darker edge expected from a villain-themed game.

- “- the graphic design looks better in VR than on the images.”

- “The art style gives you the vibe that you really are the villain of some sort of cartoon show with matching powers to boot, and the overall atmosphere does the 'villain protagonist' justice.”
