The gameplay is highly praised for its innovative spell crafting system, allowing players to create a vast array of unique spells, which adds depth and excitement to each run. While the overall gameplay loop is engaging and the art style is charming, some players have noted issues such as the lack of controller support, lengthy crafting animations, and occasional bugs in spell results. Despite these drawbacks, the game offers a fresh take on the roguelike genre, encouraging creativity and experimentation with its mechanics.
- “The gameplay loop is pretty fun, messing around with the near infinite spell combos and arcana is absolutely the main selling point of this game.”
- “Great game, it has a different style of gameplay compared to other roguelikes, as it has a fresh pace with you being a wizard creating your own spells.”
- “The game mechanic of being able to craft spells really makes each run fun and exciting!”
- “A small downside is the internet requirement to craft the spells—the game needs to connect to the server that creates them during gameplay, which is unusual for a single-player roguelike.”
- “It can be difficult to play because spell mechanics are not explained properly, but you might have even more fun trying to figure out how it works without the explanation.”
- “Disregarding the spell crafting; the overall gameplay loop is pretty tight and the roguelike structure is a good fit for a system that can't guarantee the tools to make solid progress.”

The game offers significant replayability, primarily due to its expansive and unique spellcrafting system, which allows for endless experimentation and varied outcomes even with similar formulas. However, some players note that the time investment required for crafting spells can be a drawback, and the lack of long-term progression may limit replayability over time. Overall, it provides a rich experience that can be enjoyed for many hours.
- “Even for the demo, there seems to be a lot of replayability, and the spellcrafting is ridiculously expansive.”
- “The spell system is really unique and gives the game insane replayability; sometimes making a new spell takes a bit too long, though, especially when you have four or more runes at play.”
- “This makes for very high replayability, as even crafts with the same formulas sometimes generate spells with completely different behaviors.”
- “You could enjoy it for several hours as is, but without long-term progression, the replayability falls off.”
