The pixel art style and polished presentation are excellent, creating a nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic PC games.
The gameplay loop is engaging, with a solid variety of items and random encounters that keep each run feeling fresh and interesting.
Despite being an autobattler, the game allows for strategic decision-making through item usage and crew management, making it enjoyable even for those skeptical of the genre.

The AI behavior can be frustrating, as crew members often flee when low on health, leading to scenarios where players feel helpless in battles.
There is a lack of meta progression, as players lose everything upon death, which can be demoralizing and discouraging for continued play.
The game currently suffers from balance issues, with certain starting scenarios feeling like automatic losses and a difficulty curve that can spike unexpectedly.
