The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it overly complex and punishing, leading to a sense of frustration rather than enjoyment. While some appreciate the unique mechanics and immersive story, others criticize the slow pacing, repetitive combat, and lack of clarity in the mechanics, making it feel like a chore. Overall, the game offers beautiful visuals and intriguing concepts, but the execution of its gameplay leaves much to be desired.
- “On top of that, this game really pushes you out of your comfort zone on many levels of gameplay, but as you figure it out, you'll find you have a lot more control over a situation than you think.”
- “I played some games and I rarely found one with a story this intriguing, a gameplay this complex and yet intuitive, and an art style as cool as Undungeon has.”
- “A lot of interestingly unique fighting and progression mechanics, it's fun and strategic but still simple, so it does not get overwhelming.”
- “The whole enemy power-up mechanic makes no sense in any scenario; I would understand if it went both ways, at least then I would understand.”
- “Between upgrades that are like 1% to x thing and weapons that are overall just there, I feel no incentive or interest in said upgrades. Having to fill all my slots with the same upgrade for like a 7% bonus to dodge is quite trash. Enemies have the same consumables you can have, making some fights go on forever when three mooks just pop heal puddles one after the other and my damage does the same as their healing ticks.”
- “This game has punishing gameplay, a sprinkling of grammatical errors, long text-only conversations, many unexplained mechanics, and a story so abstract it frequently crosses the line of nonsense with itself; also, to unlock save points, you have to finish an optional quest, making it possible to lose hours of progress from one bad combat.”

Character development in the game is criticized for its lack of progression, as players noted that there are no significant changes in items or combat abilities throughout the experience.
