- “Missing graphics options, only audio settings and that's all.”
- “Graphically it is pretty okay for a 2019 title, but I find it technically a bit clunky.”

Overall, the lack of a structured narrative detracts from the experience for many gamers.
- “There's no campaign, which is a shame because the three factions are different and interesting enough that it feels like they have a cool story to tell.”
- “Finding a story in the RTS game is quite complicated because most of these games come without any specific plot.”
- “Currently, there are three distinct factions; I hope for more content in the future, including more maps, missions, and even factions.”

The gameplay is characterized by interesting faction mechanics that differentiate each side, but suffers from poor quality control and a lack of tutorials, making it difficult for new players to grasp the game. While the core gameplay is enjoyable and has potential, issues such as clunky controls, limited content, and a lack of multiplayer options detract from the overall experience. Players find the game somewhat bare-bones, with room for improvement in mechanics and variety.
- “The three factions offer interesting gameplay as they are not just cosmetically different but also in their gameplay mechanics.”
- “Anyone who has played Command and Conquer or any similar RTS will pick up the mechanics of this quickly.”
- “Awesome game, it's a little bare bones at the moment, but core gameplay is a lot of fun.”
- “The quality control is very poor and not worth anything but the steepest of discounts. I'm going to be very hard pressed to meet my hour of gameplay per hour spent.”
- “Regarding the gameplay, I have some concerns too, because despite being a very straightforward RTS, there are no tutorials or learning sessions/maps.”
- “Was hoping this would be somewhat similar to Command and Conquer Generals. The mechanics of moving the map are clunky with no keyboard support. The content is incredibly scarce, with challenges, units, and a total lack of multiplayer. The camera and unit variety would be simple fixes to improve the game quite a lot.”
