Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of innovative mechanics and confusion, with some players finding the spaceship mechanics particularly lacking. While many appreciate the artistic design and potential for strategic depth, others criticize issues like lag and clunky interactions that hinder enjoyment.

- “Innovative and rewarding gameplay and good character variety.”
- “Easy to understand mechanics, but hard to master.”
