The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its innovative mechanics and strategic depth, while others find it confusing and clunky, particularly regarding spaceship mechanics and server lag. Players appreciate the artistic design and character variety, noting that while the game is easy to learn, mastering it requires significant effort and foresight.
