CopperCube is an easy-to-use game engine, making it great for beginners and those who want to create simple 3D games without extensive coding knowledge.
The level editor is intuitive and effective, allowing for quick prototyping and the ability to import static geometry from various formats.
The community support and available resources, such as tutorials and forums, help users navigate the engine and enhance their game development experience.

The engine suffers from significant limitations in performance, graphics quality, and functionality, making it unsuitable for more complex or professional game development.
Many features are buggy or poorly implemented, including user input handling, physics, and asset importing, which can lead to frustrating experiences for developers.
The lack of comprehensive documentation and active community support can hinder users, especially those looking for advanced features or troubleshooting assistance.

The graphics in CopperCube are widely regarded as outdated, reminiscent of early 2000s gaming, with limited support for modern features like PBR textures and advanced material handling. While some users appreciate its retro aesthetic and ease of use for creating simple 3D games, many express disappointment in the overall visual quality, suggesting that improvements are needed to meet contemporary standards. Despite these criticisms, the engine remains stable and accessible, particularly for low-end PCs.
- “It's also pretty stable on low-end PCs, while keeping cool graphics.”
- “Graphics aren't super great, but you can still make a good game.”
- “This one, whilst simple to use, is quite dated in the graphics and other departments.”
- “The graphics pipeline is quite outdated, meaning that CopperCube does not support PBR textures or anything other than basic diffuse materials, normal maps, and some fake reflections.”
- “The graphics do not handle materials very well; for instance, you can have a normal mapped texture as long as it is not using an alpha channel, making it incredibly limited—no specular, no roughness, no tessellations, no bump mapping, let alone occlusion mapping.”
- “The game feels like a flash game from 2005; the graphics are quite dated and reminiscent of that era.”

The optimization of the game is inconsistent; while some aspects are well-optimized, users report significant lag when rendering multiple models and issues with built-in behaviors that are unoptimized and buggy. Performance deteriorates notably when more than a few enemies are present, leading to a mixed experience overall.
- “The optimization is very good, but the functionality isn't so good.”
- “Also reviewing the forum extensively, it's been reported for years now that the built-in behaviors are unoptimized and buggy.”
- “If you want to only use the rather tiny selection of enemies available in CopperCube, or are willing to buy or create your own JavaScript behaviors from scratch, then this may be a good option. However, there are a lot of forum posts about bad performance when more than a handful of enemies are in play.”
stability

The stability of the program has been criticized for being unoptimized and buggy, with users reporting persistent issues over the years. While some glitches exist, players feel that with effort and creativity, they can work around these problems to create an enjoyable experience.
- “Also reviewing the forum extensively, it's been reported for years now that the built-in behaviors are unoptimized and buggy.”
- “It's garbage; the program is very buggy and extremely scuffed.”
- “Sure, there are a few glitches here and there, but with a little bit of thinking and motivation, you can fix problems yourself and make a game you can enjoy.”
music

The reviews suggest a mixed sentiment towards the music aspect, with some users feeling that the technical requirements can be overwhelming and frustrating, particularly for those without a strong background in music or coding. There is a sense that achieving a polished, AAA-quality sound may require significant effort and expertise.
- “Sure, the industry purists are going to quote 'verbatim' what was and is the latest and greatest tech to 'bring your vision to life (que melodramatic music)', and I am not going to lie, it takes a bit of polishing to get something of a AAA look on your assets in this engine.”
- “You're thinking that music involves numbers.”
- “I can't read a lick of music... anyways, I've always hated math with a passion, so when I tried coding, I almost pulled my hair out in frustration.”

The gameplay is praised as an excellent introduction to programming and game mechanics, allowing users to experiment and create simple projects, such as a flying pyramid, as a foundation for more complex ideas.
- “This software is a good starting point to learn programming and understand game mechanics.”
- “That's why I made a little pyramid that could fly with FPS mechanics... it's a practice run for what I really want to do!”
story

The storyline is perceived as unremarkable, with players expressing a lack of engagement, as exemplified by a focus on trivial gameplay mechanics rather than the narrative itself.
- “The storyline is kind of meh; I made the CopperCube guy move exactly 32.53 inches to the front and rotated him exactly 43.53 degrees.”
