The game offers a fun and addictive experience with satisfying ship building mechanics and a unique bounty hunting concept.
The art style and sound design are well-crafted, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the game.
Despite being in early access, the game feels surprisingly fleshed out and allows for quick iteration and experimentation with ship designs.

Progression is frustrating as players lose all unlocked items and blueprints after each bounty, making it feel unrewarding.
The AI and combat balance need improvement, with some bosses being overly difficult and encounters feeling short and unengaging.
There are several bugs and design issues, such as unclear building mechanics and bland minimap visuals, that detract from the overall experience.

The story aspect of the game is criticized for lacking depth and continuity, as players lose all progress, including blueprints and resources, after each mission. Reviewers express a desire for a more engaging narrative that allows for slower progression and the retention of unlocked items, suggesting that a campaign-style format would enhance the overall experience. Despite these concerns, players still find enjoyment in the game's concept.
- “Although the game is fun and I like the concept, I don't see the point of saving the design of ships if you lose all blueprints and metals after every mission.”
- “Nothing you've earned during missions carries over, just cash.”
- “Hoping there will be more of a campaign/mission style, but for now on day 1 of early access, I am still having fun!”
