The gameplay is characterized as slow but generally bug-free, though it could benefit from more polish and additional quality of life features commonly found in larger titles. Despite these shortcomings, the game includes strategic building systems that enhance the overall experience, and ongoing patches suggest potential for future improvements.
“The gameplay experience is mostly bug-free, but it could be a more polished experience and lacks a few quality of life features that you'd see in bigger games. However, the game still received patches aimed to improve on these aspects, so eventually this might not be an issue, but for now, there's still room for improvements.”
