- The story is excellent with well-developed, memorable characters and immersive writing.
- Choices significantly impact the narrative and character development, offering meaningful branching paths and replayability.
- The unique steampunk/dieselpunk setting and intense action sequences, including dogfighting, are highly praised.
- The stat and skill system is often unclear, unintuitive, and can be frustrating to manage, with some choices having ambiguous effects.
- The ending is frequently described as abrupt, unsatisfying, or unfair, sometimes not reflecting prior player success.
- The game is not fully free; only the initial chapters are available without payment, leading to criticism of the pricing and paywall.

The story is generally praised for its unique setting, engaging characters, and meaningful choices that impact the narrative, creating a compelling and replayable experience. However, some players find certain plot elements rushed, ambiguous, or inconsistent, and struggle with mechanics that affect understanding of choices and stats. Overall, it is considered a well-written, immersive story with occasional flaws that don't significantly detract from its appeal.
“Excellent story, well-developed characters.”
“"Empyrean" is certainly one of my favourites due to its engrossing storytelling, multi-dimensional characters (Strephon is so. damn. complicated. person) and extremely good and easily visualizable writing (descriptions in particular).”
“Beautifully realized story with a lot of freedom in developing your character.”
“The story till that point was not great; I get the protagonist doesn't have a clear head and it's to create a characteristics sheet of some sort, but I'd rather fill in squares directly than that jumbled mess.”
“The story was boring, so boring that I was confused on what was going on sometimes, but I guess it was ok.”
“I found a combines-oriented path a bit lacking, and there were some inconsistencies throughout the plot itself (namely, 'you cannot walk without the trode, cause you are paralyzed' and 'you cannot fly any aircraft except, clearly, Empyrean'; during one finale the main character pulls the trode out and is okay, and during another, they pilot another flying device without any evident issues; I thought it would be addressed, like 'father experimented on me and lied to me that I'm incapable of walking without his device,' but it wasn't).”
