Gameplay initially feels slow and confusing due to unclear mechanics and pacing issues, but becomes engaging and addictive once players adapt and understand the runestone and weapon combinations. While the core roguelite loop is solid with interesting ideas, the game suffers from lack of variety, occasional crashes, and presentation flaws that hinder overall enjoyment. The Norse theme and visual style add charm, though some suggest adding an easier difficulty to help new players acclimate.

- “Vilde absolutely nailed the core roguelite gameplay loop here.”
- “After learning how spells and runes work, gameplay really clicks into place.”
- “Needs more variety in content badly, but the core gameplay’s pretty tasty.”
- “Gameplay started slow, with awkward reloads and stiff movement, but quickly improved as I adapted to its quirks.”
- “A clunky asset rip that runs terribly and offers little in the way of fps roguelikes; gameplay is so slow it barely feels like you're moving.”
