The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players praising the detailed 3D visuals of planets and ships, comparing them favorably to other titles. However, others express disappointment, feeling that the graphics do not measure up to modern standards set by games like Stellaris and Endless Space 2. Overall, while some appreciate the artistic effort, there is a consensus that improvements could enhance the visual experience significantly.
“Graphics are detailed enough to compare with other games.”
“The developer says he's not a designer, but I have to say that I'm highly impressed with the graphics, both of the planets and of the ships.”
“The level of detail and the 3D graphics are impressive, especially considering how far graphics have come since the days of DOS and pixel art.”
“I am utterly speechless on how bad this game was; the graphics, the way it was made, are nothing like Stellaris, Galactic Civilisation 2, or Endless Space 2.”
“So to see the type of graphics available now?”
“They can add so many different graphical enhancements to sell to people to give people unique visual experiences across so many aspects of the game.”

The game's story is generally regarded as decent and interesting, but the overall experience is hindered by a rigid mission order that affects gameplay flow. Additionally, the tutorial is considered unhelpful, suggesting that improvements in guidance and user interface could enhance the storytelling experience.
“Albeit an interesting game with a decent story to it, the tutorial is nearly unhelpful at all.”
“The story is pretty good.”
“Story: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆”
“The game should be fixed - redesigned so that success is not dependent on performing the missions in order.”
“The UI is pretty rough; for example, the star map scrolls painfully slow, and the missions that serve as a kind of tutorial should be placed front and center so dummies like me can't miss it.”
“The game must be played in the order of the missions.”

The gameplay is criticized for its steep learning curve, with many players struggling to grasp basic mechanics and navigation, leading to frustration and uninstallation. While some appreciate the depth and complexity, noting the necessity of a guide to understand the game, others feel that it often devolves into tedious busywork rather than engaging strategic gameplay. Additionally, the combat mechanics are seen as lacking, further detracting from the overall experience.
“But honestly, it kinda has to be that way, because there are a lot of mechanics.”
“Definitely the kind of game you have to take time to learn, but thankfully, there's a fairly well-written guide. Your first hour is literally going to be reading and clicking around to understand the mechanics, and that's meant in a good way.”
“After playing 20 minutes and still not able to understand simple game mechanics or how to even select my fleet, I promptly uninstalled.”
“The game cannot be played as it is with the mechanics as they are.”
“The combat mechanics could be better as well.”
