The graphics of the game are widely criticized for being simplistic and lackluster, with 2D art assets that fail to impress. Despite options to adjust resolution, these changes do not enhance the overall visual quality, leaving the presentation feeling unfinished and reminiscent of outdated titles. Overall, the artwork is deemed mediocre, with many reviewers noting that even classic games from the past had superior visuals and animation.
“Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lackluster 2D visuals.”
“Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Asteroids had more advanced animation and visuals going on than this game does.”
“While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
“Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals.”
“While the artwork itself, while mediocre, might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible; it might as well be a slideshow or a YouTube video.”

The gameplay is criticized for being a poorly executed hybrid of a clicker and quick-time event game, lacking depth and polish, with an interface that feels more like a static webpage than an engaging experience. Players report that upgrades have minimal impact on gameplay, leading to a sense of futility in progression. Overall, the gameplay is described as shallow and unfinished.
“Think of it as the worst hybrid between a shallow clicker/incrementer and a poorly executed QTE game, as if it were unfinished, with worse graphics and gameplay.”
“For gameplay purposes, the user interface is mostly just 2D static text and images, making it feel more like a web page than an engaging game.”
“Twenty minutes spent purchasing upgrades that make no difference to gameplay.”

The game is perceived as excessively grindy, lacking clear milestones, which can make the experience feel aimless for some players. However, those who enjoy grinding find it rewarding, especially with the addition of new factions and upcoming content.
“It's very grindy as-is.”
“I normally have no problems with grindy games if there are appreciable milestones to aim for, but the game is currently aimless.”
