The gameplay is characterized by unique, voice-acted characters that can be customized to suit individual playstyles, with a smooth experience and straightforward mechanics. While the campaign is relatively short on lower difficulties, players can engage with roguelike modifiers for enhanced replayability and loot. Some users find the gameplay slightly grindy, but appreciate the ability to revisit levels for progression and the overall accessibility of the game's mechanics.
“The characters are voice acted, are all unique in their gameplay styles, and can be fine-tuned to how you wish to play the game, with the only limitation being your time, effort, and understanding.”
