The gameplay is highly praised for its fun and addictive loop, enhanced by roomscale movement that requires players to actively dodge and duck, creating an engaging experience. The integration of roguelike elements adds variety through randomized power-ups and levels, although some players express mixed feelings about the roguelite mechanics. Overall, the combination of fluid mechanics, beautiful graphics, and immersive sound design contributes to a captivating gameplay experience that encourages replayability.
- “Gameplay loop is fun and addictive; it greatly benefits from roomscale movement: both hands are used, and a lot of obstacles require ducking and dodging with the whole body for a better viewpoint.”
- “Beyond the fluid, fun gameplay, the sound design, the graphics, everything polished like you’d expect from an Arvore game; it’s actually hallucinogenic.”
- “The near constant dodging makes the gameplay really interesting and engaging.”
- “The campaign gameplay is similar to Until You Fall, so when you die it’s permadeath and you need to start over.”
- “The bullets are slower but far more numerous, and the gameplay is more varied due to the randomized power-up choices (and somewhat randomized levels).”
- “Gameplay, bullet hell galore.”

The game's story is generally considered lacking, with players noting that it follows a set sequence of levels without a substantial narrative. While the visuals are praised, many express a desire for more story content, such as animated cutscenes, to enhance the experience. Despite the progression and variations in gameplay, the overall narrative depth leaves something to be desired.
- “I can’t pinpoint exactly what made me hesitate on getting it then, I think I was looking for more story-driven VR games at the time or something, but if I had gotten it then I would have been as blown away as I am now.”
- “Within 4 hours I was able to beat the story, but I haven't unlocked the final bladewing yet, and I expect that to take many more hours. I am hoping that the endless mode has some real substance to it so there's still a reason to keep coming back.”
- “One thing I personally would love is if there was a bit more story (as an option), e.g. told in short movies like in the game's trailer, as I very much like the animation style.”
- “While the game follows a set sequence of levels, there doesn't appear to be any real story.”
- “Story may be a bit lacking and the early levels are a little slow on repeated plays, but the visuals of the stage are worth enjoying anyway.”

- “I love the replayability rogue-like element of the game.”
- “I was able to beat the final boss after only 4 hours, but the replay value is definitely there, since this is all about gameplay, and not so much about level progression.”
- “Endless replayability and score-chasing, with a ton of persistently upgradable 'rogue-like' elements.”
