Gameplay is generally praised for its core mechanics and strategic depth, offering an engaging experience with customizable ships and intuitive controls. However, many players find it repetitive and lacking in a compelling story mode, which detracts from the overall experience. While the game is polished and has potential for long play sessions, the absence of progression and a more dynamic narrative leaves some players feeling bored and unrewarded.
- “The core mechanics and gameplay are extremely good.”
- “Amazing gameplay and strategy!”
- “Very polished, fun gameplay once you learn everything, lots of options.”
- “Repetitive gameplay, a very lacking story mode that's just the same thing over and over again.”
- “Bored after figuring out how dull the gameplay was compared to how big the map sizes are. The enemies are way too strong and plentiful in any difficulty above easy. It takes over 40-50 minutes to get into the good part of one sector, then you lose all your ships and have to rebuild, repeat, dull.”
- “No progression or change in gameplay throughout the campaign.”

Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players enjoy the repetitive nature of grinding for better ships, many find it tedious and unbalanced, especially given the game's difficulty.

- “Considering how hard and unforgiving the game is, it becomes too tedious.”
- “Starting each mission from scratch makes them somewhat tedious, and combined with the randomness erodes any sense of progress, other than the sector map slowly turning blue.”
