    The game's graphics are functional and data-focused rather than flashy, with a simple art style that some players appreciate.

    The game currently suffers from numerous bugs, particularly with save management and the user interface, which some attribute to the modern design. However, these stability issues are expected to improve as the developer continues to patch and update the game in its early access phase.

    • “Starting out, the game was already pretty buggy, asking me to continue a game save without me actually ever opening the game or playing a match.”
    • “I think the game interface is a bit too buggy as well. Although I'm kind of in the middle about the whole modern UI of the game—it looks nice but I think that's why it's so buggy.”
    • “In its current state in early access, the game is fairly buggy; however, I do believe that the maker of the game will patch out the bugs and add lots of cool new features in the future.”

  • replayability
