The story aspect of the game is seen as underdeveloped, with players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative that integrates cutscenes and character interactions rather than relying on static text. While the concept of building and defending a city is appealing, the lack of clarity regarding the player's objectives and the overall plot detracts from the experience. Despite these shortcomings, the game is still considered enjoyable and worth playing for its fun mechanics and art style.
- “At the start, it is not made clear whether you are attempting to build and defend your town or if you go out on missions to other places; the player is given the idea that perhaps the levels are just waves of opponents being thrown at their town.”
- “The plot for the game should not be just a button you can click at the title screen and read through a wall of text for any information as to what is going on in this world and what your purpose is for fighting these creatures.”
- “At the start, it is not made clear whether or not you are attempting to build and defend your town or if you go out on missions to other places. The player is given the idea that perhaps the levels are just waves of opponents being thrown at their town.”
- “A good idea that many similar games have used is having a mascot-like character that assists and is almost like your partner, except they only appear as a still image and have text box pop-ups that help explain the story throughout your first part of the game.”

The music in the game is notably lacking, with some players reporting no music at all, leading to a repetitive and dull auditory experience. Many reviewers feel that this aspect needs significant improvement, especially since the audio showcased in promotional materials appears to be of higher quality than what is currently implemented in the game. Overall, the game's alpha version is seen as needing enhancements in music, sound effects, and visual effects.
- “There was no music (not sure if this was some sort of error on my part, but everything seemed to be working just fine for me) and the sounds became repetitive and boring quickly. This is definitely something that can be expanded upon and improved. The example given in the video for the game sounds better than what is actually put out in the game as of this moment.”
- “Cool game, alpha version which obviously means it needs some improvements like: VFX, SFX, music, tutorial.”

- “In the current alpha version, only 3 levels are playable.”
