While fun initially, the mode suffers from limited variety, repetitive boss fights, and a tedious end-game grind, with the absence of voice acting hindering the storytelling experience. Despite its enjoyable gameplay concept, it may become repetitive for players seeking to unlock everything, and improvements in variety are hoped for in future iterations of the game.
