The gameplay has been widely criticized for its slow pace, clunky controls, and lack of intuitive mechanics, making it feel tedious and unengaging. Many players noted that the graphics are subpar and the overall experience resembles a low-quality browser game, with significant issues such as lag and bugs further detracting from enjoyment. While the concept shows potential, the execution leaves much to be desired, leading to a frustrating experience for most users.
“Gameplay involves playing as 3-dimensional spaceships on a 2-dimensional plane (yeah...2D in space) and engaging in a spaceship battle with the main goal of destroying the enemy base.”
“The idea is interesting, the gameplay has a ton of potential to be fun, the graphics are decent, but it's just not playable right now.”
“This game shows some really awesome ideas and gameplay but the servers are really laggy!”
“Windowed game, slow and tedious gameplay (which is the opposite of what the trailer's impression of the game was), microtransactions, tutorial is slow and badly explained, clunky controls.”
“This game's graphics are awful, the gameplay is really primitive and it feels like a cheap browser game I could find on Newgrounds in 5 minutes.”
“The gameplay is very 'sticky', I always crashed into everything, the aiming is very abrupt, and it's so difficult to shoot...”

The graphics in this game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing them as poor, lacking detail, and reminiscent of low-quality browser games. Reviewers also criticized the absence of graphics settings, leading to performance issues and a frustrating experience. While some noted that the graphics could be decent under certain conditions, the overall consensus is that they are inadequate and contribute to a lackluster gameplay experience.
“Ok this game won't work or people just don't like to play, I've played the tutorial; beautiful graphics for sure!”
“Graphics: overall, look kinda nice.”
“-better graphics”
“Poor graphics and fps, uninteresting enemies that are impossible to kill, everything costs actual money, really slow, terrible servers, really buggy, barely any textures, and just awful.”
“This game's graphics are awful, the gameplay is really primitive and it feels like a cheap browser game I could find on Newgrounds in 5 minutes.”
“There's no graphics settings outside of enabling vsync and a crippling glitch that makes the graphics not even appear if running the game windowed (which is the default and has to be done with Windows keyboard commands because, again, no graphics settings).”

The game is widely criticized for its severe stability issues, with users reporting frequent bugs, lag, and crashes that render it nearly unplayable. Many reviewers express disappointment in its performance, citing poor optimization and a lack of polish, particularly in online multiplayer modes. Overall, the consensus is that the game is currently too unstable to recommend, despite its potential.
“This game has potential but at least for now (mid-2015) the game is too buggy to run on a Mac.”
“Currently it seems fairly buggy and 'in progress'; it's a cool concept but until they can get the multiplayer working it isn't really good. I don't recommend the game in its current state but when it's much more finished I might change my mind.”
“It is a buggy mess!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and slow, often leading to frustration with long wait times for others to join and clunky controls.

“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“For those lucky enough to get it to work, they will probably grow old and start to see their grandchildren grow up as they tediously wait for people to join in at the waiting for players screen.”
“Windowed game, slow and tedious gameplay (which is the opposite of what the trailer's impression of the game was), microtransactions, the tutorial is slow and badly explained, clunky controls.”

“In the end, I had to shut down the game because it says 'disconnected from server', and this was the tutorial mission.”
