The artwork is adorable and high quality, contributing to a charming aesthetic.
The game has great potential, especially with its deck building and spell casting mechanics.
It offers a mix of interesting mechanics from various genres, providing a unique gameplay experience.

Gameplay is often bland and boring, with excessively short rounds and little engagement.
The spell programming system is confusing and feels more like a puzzle than actual crafting.
There is a lack of content, with very few characters and weapons, making it hard to justify the price.

Overall, the gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it lacking in engagement and depth, primarily revolving around survival and evasion. However, others appreciate the blend of mechanics from various games, suggesting that it offers a more interesting experience than typical survival titles.
- “D offers a good mix of interesting mechanics: vampire survivors (autofire) vs. brotato (-style rounds) vs. bio-prototype (synergistic casting chains) vs. backpack hero (puzzling gear/spells together in limited space).”
- “The best games with survivors or brotato gameplay have more going on during the level.”
- “Gameplay is a little more than not getting killed; I don't have anything to do but move and dodge.”
- “Moment by moment gameplay is poor.”

The game's artwork is praised for its adorable and high-quality design, but the graphics options are limited, lacking proper adjustment features. Additionally, the pixilated graphics, coupled with fast-moving projectiles, can hinder gameplay by making it challenging to dodge attacks effectively. Overall, while visually appealing, the graphics may not meet the expectations set by contemporary survivor-like games.

The story is considered unimportant by users, suggesting that it detracts from the overall experience and could be minimized or improved for better pacing, especially for players who prefer longer gameplay.
- “The story is absolutely not important; place energy elsewhere. Maybe even cut it for better pacing when/if you lengthen the rounds for people that don't have TikTok syndrome.”
