The gameplay is generally praised for its beautiful graphics and seamless mechanics, providing an engaging and well-balanced experience, especially in single-player mode. However, players note issues such as frequent crashes, a lack of comprehensive tutorials, and repetitive space combat, with hopes for future improvements like multiplayer and a working campaign. Overall, while the core gameplay is enjoyable, it currently feels limited and in need of additional content to enhance variety.
“The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is seamless.”
“It has some really nice visuals and some solid game mechanics (once you learn them).”
“The overall gameplay is fun, well-balanced, and engaging.”
“When it does, it force closes itself after 5-10 minutes of gameplay.”
“Tutorials don't cover all the mechanics; basic movement should at least be covered.”
“I believe over time the game will improve; the things I mentioned are definitely the fixable sort and don't require a massive overhaul to the gameplay or engine.”

The game's story is criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, with players noting a barebones narrative that fails to engage. While there are a variety of mission types, including epic space battles and stealth missions, the repetitive nature of the gameplay and the absence of a compelling storyline detract from the overall experience. Players express a desire for more diverse mission styles and a more developed campaign to enhance the narrative aspect.
“It has everything from epic space battles to stealthy missions sneaking between asteroids.”
“Right now, it comes with two short campaigns, each several missions long.”
“A good assortment of missions are available in its early access form, but a campaign, or maybe random missions, would be very welcome.”
“However... when the opening tutorial mission never ends, then the game is not ready to be played.”
“The story is bland and the voice acting doesn't help.”
“As far as I have played the campaigns, I only miss a storyline.”
