The game offers a fun and satisfying gameplay loop with rogue-lite shooter mechanics in VR, featuring upgrades to weapons and ship, and a compelling salvage and combat experience.
The graphics have a retro, cartoonish 80s-90s space aesthetic that is clear and helps immersion, with generally good locomotion and interaction controls.
The game has potential and unique core concepts with atmospheric, tense dungeon-crawling inside industrial sci-fi ships and emergent storytelling through gameplay.

The game currently suffers from technical issues including frequent bugs, glitches with weapons and controls, overheating on certain VR devices, and a lack of polish in sound design and UI.
Gameplay elements such as tedious looting (especially cabinet interactions), lack of content variety, and repetitive enemy designs detract from long-term engagement and immersion.
The game feels somewhat empty and lifeless with limited interactivity, dark oppressive ship interiors, placeholder assets, and no significant story or NPC interactions yet implemented.

- “The rogue-lite gameplay creates great emergent storytelling as you make your way through these abandoned ships, not really knowing what you might find.”
- “Hopefully the game will get some form of story or NPCs to interact with, otherwise it is just a standard run and gun in space.”
