The gameplay of the game is primarily inspired by "Vampire Survivors," featuring a simple yet engaging loop that combines survival mechanics with a variety of abilities and transformations. While it offers enjoyable mechanics and charming visuals, many reviews note that it lacks depth and replayability, often feeling repetitive and short-lived. Overall, it is considered a solid, if not groundbreaking, entry in the genre, appealing to fans of casual roguelike experiences.
“The gameplay is engaging and you are rewarded for being good.”
“The gameplay loop is very entertaining but does end a bit quickly so you do end up beating it pretty quickly.”
“The gameplay is very enjoyable.”
“Overall, I do not recommend it because the gameplay is bland, dull, and unexciting, and it doesn't do anything even remotely unique to make it stand out among its competitors other than charm you with its high-quality artwork and trick you into thinking that it has adult content when it actually doesn't.”
“The gameplay is where the game falters—clunky movements, non-intuitive control choices like the absence of mouse support, not accounting for non-QWERTY keyboards, and imprecise hitboxes sour the overall experience.”
“Unfortunately, the developer's focus on the non-gameplay aspects of the game (particularly the marvelous artwork) makes it feel as if the game was just used as a platform to showcase their artwork and drawing skills while making some easy money by riding the popular genre of bullet heaven and horde survival games.”

“The graphics are easily the highlight of the game thanks to its cute character models, which are animated very well and in an almost playful manner, as well as its amazing artwork.”
“The visuals are beautiful, with both soft and appealing colors.”
“I absolutely love the art style, and the gameplay is addicting.”
“The graphics are charming but lack consistency.”
“Overall, I do not recommend it because the gameplay is bland, dull, and unexciting, and it doesn't do anything even remotely unique to make it stand out among its competitors other than charm you with its high-quality artwork and trick you into thinking that it has adult content when it actually doesn't.”
“I hoped for a vampire survivors type game but with better graphics and this looked promising, but it feels more like a proof of concept than a full game.”

The game's story is minimal and often described as simplistic or lacking depth, primarily serving as a lighthearted backdrop to the gameplay. While some players find the comedic and cute elements enjoyable, many agree that the narrative is short and could benefit from more development and content. Overall, it provides a basic premise of a witch's quest for love, but players should not expect a robust or engaging storyline.
“The story is quite sweet, a nice break from the regular degenerate plots.”
“The story is simple and concise, albeit outlandish, but it somehow offers more substance compared to a lot of other games in the genre which lack any sort of story altogether.”
“It's a cute little story, and a fun time waster for the money.”
“The plot is probably an in-office joke with no meat to the punchline and a storyline more distilled than the cliff notes to a one-word answer.”
“The story just plays once and then that's it.”
“The story element is minimal, but sufficient to establish the mood and premise of the game.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying its unique and Halloween-themed vibe, while others find it generic and forgettable. Many appreciate the seamless transitions between tracks, which help maintain engagement, but some have noted issues with volume control and repetitiveness. Overall, while the soundtrack complements the game's aesthetic, it lacks variety and depth, leading to a somewhat polarized reception.
“The combination of gameplay, graphics, and music are surprisingly enjoyable.”
“The game style is lovely, the soundtrack gives Halloween vibes, and the sound effects are satisfying.”
“A charming aesthetic that will enchant you and a soundtrack that immerses you in a magical atmosphere.”
“For your own sake: turn off the music.”
“The soundtrack is composed of generic witchy songs that have a hint of spookiness and Halloween to them which match the overall theme of the game but are otherwise soulless and forgettable.”
“Good gameplay, fun abilities, but the music is such generic Halloween royalty-free nothing that I turned it off.”

The game's replayability is a mixed bag, with some players praising its variety of builds, unlockables, and challenges that encourage multiple playthroughs, while others find it limited due to a lack of secrets and a relatively linear experience. Many appreciate the potential for future DLC to enhance replay value, but some feel that once the content is fully explored, the incentive to replay diminishes significantly. Overall, opinions range from high replayability due to diverse gameplay options to a more moderate experience that may not sustain long-term interest.
“It's a simple yet engaging system that makes for a variety of builds and solid replayability.”
“Has a lot of replayability thanks to being a roguelike; it's kind of become a game for me to relax and try runs using other ability choices.”
“A fun game in the style of Vampire Survivors, with enough of a twist on the formula to make it feel unique, and a well thought-out rewards system that adds a lot of replayability.”
“The replay value is quite low because you will see almost everything the game has to offer in one playthrough (other than artwork for the different endings and seeing all of the spells when they're fully upgraded).”
“This leads to a pretty boring gameplay loop that highly restricts the game's potential replayability.”
“Once you've seen all full transformations, there isn't any replay value other than achievements.”

The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being tedious and overly time-consuming, with many players feeling that the effort required to upgrade equipment and achieve 100% completion is not adequately rewarded. While some find satisfaction in the progression, the general consensus is that the grind for gold and upgrades feels artificially inflated and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game. Players often express frustration over the lack of engaging content during the grind, leading to a mixed experience overall.
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“The grind for upgrading equipment in the main screen is tedious; funnily enough, even if you 99% the game, you still need a couple of upgrades, which is bad game design and reward in my opinion.”
“Overall, it's just a grind, more grind, and endless grinding of coins, the need for which is artificially and irrationally inflated.”
“One gripe is that the gold gain compared to how much the unlocks cost makes this very grindy for no reason.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players experiencing significant stuttering and occasional crashes, particularly during intense moments. While some users found the performance issues frustrating, they still enjoyed the game overall and expressed hope for future updates to address these problems. Performance seems to vary widely depending on individual hardware, leading to a consensus that while the game has potential, it currently suffers from optimization challenges.
“So it's optimized really well from what I can tell, and I'd say it's more than worth the price if this kind of game is your cup of tea.”
“Overall, if this game only had performance fixes and that was it, I think my time with it was well spent. But if it gets more expansive updates, then I think I will return to this game very quickly.”
“At its worst, it was a 10-second delay, but it did not impact the performance of the game, and you are free to move and play even in the all-black setting.”
“Constant stuttering makes it impossible to do anything when there's a lot of characters on screen.”
“I'm sure this is a game issue since my PC is towards the mid to high level, but stuttering was always impacting the game, which made playing through it annoying at some points.”
“It stuttered and even crashed once (at the very end, no less) on my PC, so performance may vary from computer to computer (or it's just badly optimized/buggy).”

Despite these problems, players express hope for future updates to improve stability, as they see potential in the game's overall design.
“Runs great on macOS.”
“Can't say why for sure, but it feels like it's connected with somewhat bad memory optimization which leads first to random freezes and then crashes to desktop.”

“It stuttered and even crashed once (at the very end no less) on my PC, so performance may vary from computer to computer (or it's just badly optimized/buggy).”

The monetization of the game has been criticized for being a cash grab, with misleading advertising that suggests it contains more explicit content than it actually does. While the game offers a simple and enjoyable experience, players feel that the lack of access to additional content without purchase is frustrating, and the overall monetization strategy appears to prioritize profit over player satisfaction.
“Most amusing cash grab imitation of Vampire Survivors.”
“Overall the game is simple and there feels like there was supposed to be a bit more (there are 'extras' that I don't have access to, didn't purchase the artbook?), but considering this seems to be a cash grab with a gorgeously adaptable female protagonist, it's worth the price for an occasional 20-minute game when you need to see a bit of skin to get you through the week.”
“No other lewd content aside from the ending pose, which you can't view whenever because the extra button will never do anything (was intended to be the art gallery that became DLC, scummy cash grab).”
