The gameplay offers a mix of first-person and strategic zoomed-out views, allowing for varied player experiences. While the rock-paper-scissors mechanics for weapons are praised, the overall execution is seen as rough and in need of debugging, resulting in a technical grade of D but a gameplay grade of B+.
“You are allowed to take on a ship in first person and command the rest, or stay in a zoomed-out view for more strategic gameplay.”
“I like the idea of combining strategy with third-person gameplay!”
“The rock, paper, scissors mechanics of the guns is cool, too.”
“Need more debugging, rough gameplay, need more work and feedback.”

The game's story is minimal and not a central focus, with players noting that the experience primarily revolves around gameplay mechanics rather than narrative depth. Many find the tutorial challenging but manageable, allowing them to enjoy the game despite its lack of a compelling storyline.
“The story is almost non-existent; it's not a focus of the game at all.”
“Survive the tutorial and then it's just a matter of navigating the UI; the narrative is lacking.”
“I can overlook the story issues since this game isn't exactly story-driven.”

“This game seems to be in a very early alpha, but it's honestly a really fun game. However, I keep getting disconnected and have to relog. There are also a few bugs and glitches.”
