The story aspect of "Artemis: Cosmos" is characterized by its extensive and flexible mission scripting capabilities, allowing for a variety of engaging scenarios, including pirate encounters and cooperative quests. While the game offers a robust system for creating custom missions, the user interface issues can detract from the overall experience. The transition to Python scripting enhances the potential for creativity in storytelling, making it a significant improvement over its predecessor.
- “The game master custom mission mode is exceptionally good with multiple ships and game masters at a time.”
- “There are options for game mastered scenarios where a GM can run out a story in real time or PvE scenarios; a very expansive scripting system allows new missions to be made, but that does require some knowledge of Python.”
- “The new Python scripting far surpasses the old XML in the previous game, making the potential for missions and mods infinite!”
- “However, the aforementioned user interface issues (most of which can't be fixed by changes in these scripts) cause frustration and make the game less fun regardless of whether you're playing a vanilla or a custom mission.”
- “Creating a new mission script is a much more involved process.”
- “There are options for game mastered scenarios where a GM can run out a story in real time or PvE scenarios, but that does require some knowledge of Python.”

The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with users labeling it a cash grab due to significant technical issues, lack of essential features like keybinding options and tutorials, and overall poor quality. Players feel that the developers prioritize profit over delivering a functional and engaging experience.
- “Do not buy - half the ship is cut off on engineering, comms don't reply to hails. It's basically a cash grab by people who care nothing about it. You can't adjust resolution, only full screen or a window. There are no keybinding options or even an explanation of what keys do. There's no tutorial to even explain the basic functions of the game - it's honestly just broken.”
