The gameplay is characterized by a simple and addictive loop focused on mining and managing resources, with options for automation and upgrades. While the graphics are appealing and the game offers a variety of tasks, many players find the mechanics repetitive and lacking depth, leading to a sense of boredom. Overall, the gameplay is seen as rough around the edges, with suggestions for improvement centered on enhancing engagement and focusing more on the core management aspects rather than secondary mechanics.
“You do things such as upgrading your equipment, managing your power consumption, creating huge crypto mining farms, and creating your own crypto coins. The graphics are simple but appealing, and the gameplay is smooth and addictive.”
“There are many things you can do to automate the gameplay loop, like setting mining tasks in entire buildings or auto-placing PCs.”
“There are a lot of options, and the gameplay is long as well.”
“It has a very simple gameplay loop that you can mindlessly mine for coins with your servers.”
“Zero new mechanics, no interesting old mechanics, simulation of the life of a cryptominer detailed at a ridiculously low level.”

The game's story is described as interesting and engaging, with well-crafted scenarios that feature self-contained narratives and balanced challenges. However, players note that the pacing can be slow due to the reliance on lengthy research processes, which detracts from the overall experience. Many hope for a more story-driven approach in future updates, as the current narrative elements show potential but could benefit from deeper exploration.
“Freeplay is available but the scenarios are awesome, all with self-contained storylines and well-balanced challenges.”
“A fun little game with a storyline; I actually liked it with the little time I put into the game.”
“Each of the campaign missions I've played through has a ton of passive wait-time, usually waiting months for a 20-man research team to finish macguffin researches which are empty objectives (necessary to win but no immediate benefit).”
“It is like a semi-idle game with some story in it.”
“I hope the developer releases something more story-driven, because the stories told here were interesting.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, particularly due to the manual management of employees and the intricate building process of data centers. The lack of features like copy and paste functions, blueprints, and bulk actions for equipment management contributes to a frustrating experience, making tasks feel repetitive and time-consuming. Overall, while the game has potential, the grinding elements detract significantly from its enjoyment.
“This game is tedious.”
“I feel this could be a great game but it is far too tedious.”
“So building a data center can take a lot of time and it just becomes tedious.”
