The game’s graphics are widely criticized for being outdated and lackluster 2D visuals, especially given that 3D graphics have been the industry standard since the mid-1990s. Reviewers feel the game fails to meet modern visual expectations despite advances in technology across platforms.
- “The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?).”
- “Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games.”
- “Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now.”

Users feel that the game relies heavily on multiplayer interaction instead of traditional storytelling, with minimal narrative elements like quest texts and welcome messages, resulting in a sparse and underdeveloped story experience.
- “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc., to the game.”
- “Starting with logins, quest texts, many headers (know single German words), and welcome mails...”

The game's monetization is heavily criticized for being pay-to-win, resembling a typical mobile cash grab rather than a genuine space 4X experience. Users find it overly focused on in-app purchases rather than gameplay.
- “This is a nasty pay-to-win German browser/mobile app 'game' that's basically a set of menus and glorified spreadsheets, pretending to be a space 4X game, but really it feels just like any other mobile app cash grab.”
