The gameplay of this roguelike is widely praised for its fun and satisfying mechanics, featuring a unique dodge-jump system and a variety of creative weapons that encourage experimentation and synergy. Players appreciate the engaging boss mechanics, vibrant art style, and the addictive gameplay loop, although some note that the experience can become repetitive over time. Overall, the game is recognized for its polished controls, diverse upgrade options, and a charming aesthetic that enhances the overall experience.
- “The sheer amount of variety and synergies every single weapon and upgrade has is crazy, and to think each and every one of them is completely mechanically different is just insane to think about!”
- “This game has so much character and soul while also having one of the most addictive gameplay loops.”
- “The gameplay is super fun, it's like Enter the Gungeon but a bit better in my opinion.”
- “It's aight but the gameplay loop rapidly becomes sameish, probably won't finish.”
- “Levels aren't as tight and consist of small rooms instead of one big juicy uninterrupted level. Bosses take long to kill, guns feel too clumsy, not enjoyable to use. A ton of mandatory and not-too-intuitive and tedious mechanics like jumping on top of enemies make the characters feel samey, and I dislike these dashes/jumps/dodgerolls personally. Complex upgrades make you think too much and run back and forth between rooms and shops during the playthrough, and this kills the gameplay tightness. You grow too attached to your current run investing your time in these decisions, navigating with the minimap, dealing with other chores like restoring beacons, entering buildings with shops, watching some extra cutscenes, opening loot vortexes, destroying some trash on the floor to find out if there's something there, etc. and all this stuff eats away so much gameplay time and fun; there's almost none in the end.”
- “...I do really like the music, artwork, humor, theme, etc., but the gameplay is mid at best, broken at worst, and just not worth investing your time into otherwise.”

- “Voidigo is an incredibly well animated and polished game with a very bold and unique identity-- the sounds and visuals are overflowing with life (sometimes to the point where it's sensory overload).”
- “The visuals in this game are just incredible, the game wears its influences on its sleeve but the art adds that extra something that makes it feel really special.”
- “The visuals are charming and I can respect the animation work, but the vivid colors and messy visual hierarchy make it difficult to read what's happening.”
- “Visuals are cute but beyond noisy, and sadly, this got far worse over early access rather than better, to the point where it doesn't even feel like we ended up getting as good of a game as we had earlier on, as the balance shifted from play to upgrades.”
