There's lots of things to love about Mad God. There's also plenty that will be off putting if you're averse to gore/filth.
It's hard to describe the movie. Post-apocalyptic would be an over simplification - what the movie portrays looks less like a society and more like a fever dream. You're not going to walk away from this movie with an understanding of the plot. Even the described plot line regarding the assassin... without that information in the plot description you likely wouldn't even know that the original protagonist was an assassin.
Even the concept of "world building" is interesting. By the end, you have no more understanding of the world, its layout, and the goals of those that inhabit it.
With all that said, the movie has an enormous amount of visual diversity. There's also lots of themes and motifs you can pick out from all the insanity. Some of them might even feel profound to you personally. There's also plenty of unsettling moments.
If you're ok with experimental films that don't necessarily have a point - Mad God is absolutely worth a watch. You could likely watch it a few times and pick out more of the message... but I'm certainly not going to. If you have any aversion to gore, need your movies to have a point, and expect some kind of payoff from the plot avoid this movie.
On a side note... there's almost no way to "spoil" this movie. A testament to how funky and weird it is. The journey of watching it is the destination.
