The gameplay is generally praised for its fun and engaging mechanics, offering a mix of simplicity and depth that keeps players hooked. While the core loop is enjoyable and easy to learn, some reviewers noted issues with balance and repetitiveness, as well as a lack of complexity in content. Overall, the game provides a fast-paced, addictive experience with room for improvement in mechanics and variety.
- “Very fun gameplay, superb graphics!”
- “The gameplay is fast-paced and simple without being simplistic.”
- “The core mechanisms and gameplay loop are very engaging, and a run blessed with moderately good RNG in this game will have you cackling like a madman at the power your three heroes can spike to!”
- “The mechanics themselves are pretty simple; however, you will probably die a ton to boss fights in particular, mainly because summon effects are not properly explained.”
- “It's a rogue-like tactics game, which sounds very cool in theory. I just wish the idea was given more time because the mechanics often feel like they are trying to force a square peg into a round hole, and the power level balancing is all over the place.”
- “Don't expect too much breadth to the content - there are only 3 classes, and not (at least so far as I've gotten) a lot of particularly complex mechanics.”

Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; some find it excessively tedious and repetitive, particularly when trying to unlock legendaries or progress against bosses. However, others appreciate the fast-paced gameplay and meta progression, which help mitigate the grind, making it feel less burdensome despite the need for certain unlockables to succeed. Overall, while grinding is a significant aspect, its impact varies based on individual experiences and playstyles.
- “By the time I write this review, I have already finished all of the content except the tedious things.”
- “Reason: tedious and my luck is too bad to get 7 legendaries.”
- “I feel like you can't finish the game unless you unlock some specific things, which means the game might become playable after grinding for unlockables. Before that, you will almost always die against the first boss.”

- “Random object and enemy placement on each map, random upgrades after every encounter, and new features added after every playthrough ensure tons of replay value.”
- “Replayability has been decent so far, but the variation between runs is average at best, so I suspect it will drop off rapidly once I finish most of the achievements.”
- “Decent replay value, while there are still things to unlock.”
