"Weird RPG" is a highly difficult and fast-paced action RPG game focusing on boss battle,
Players can quickly adjust their battle position by rolling, allowing them to dodge and maneuver around the highly threatening attacks of the bosses. Timing and familiarity with the enemy's attack patterns are key to finding openings to counterattack.
The game's focus is on intense, high-difficulty boss battles. Each boss attack is "full of threats", requiring players to learn and adapt to the boss's moveset to have a chance at defeating them. The Souls-like level of challenge tests the player's skill and mastery of the combat mechanics.
One standout feature is the highly creative weapons, each with special effects and modifiers that can dramatically change the player's playstyle and abilities. Some weapons interact with external factors like the player's microphone, graphics settings, or the game's music, adding an element of unpredictability and quirkiness to the combat.
While the game is focused on boss battles, players have the flexibility to explore different worlds and complete challenges to acquire new equipment and gear. This gear-based progression allows players to find the right combination of weapons and items to overcome the game's difficulty. The ability to repeatedly fight earlier bosses also gives players opportunities to grind and obtain stronger loadouts.
The unique item interactions and external mechanics lead to humorous and unexpected effects, like being required to blast music or yell into a microphone to activate certain weapon abilities. This unpredictability and sense of discovery is widely cited as a major highlight of the experience.
