The gameplay is praised for its unique mechanics and overall fun experience, though many players express a need for a tutorial or practice mode to better understand the deeper mechanics before engaging in multiplayer matches. While the game offers interesting concepts and a supportive community, issues with netcode and balance due to experienced players joining matches can detract from the experience for newcomers. Overall, the gameplay is engaging but could benefit from improved onboarding for new players.
