The game features a unique art style that combines detailed ship models with a cartoonish character design, making it visually appealing.
Gameplay emphasizes teamwork and resource management, requiring tactical planning and attention to detail.
The developers are communicative and responsive to player feedback, indicating potential for future improvements and updates.

The game feels more like a demo or advertisement rather than a complete product, lacking depth and polish.
The interface can be unclear, and some mechanics are poorly explained, which may confuse new players.
Combat can be unengaging, with enemies being overly tough and the dialogue lacking cleverness, leading to a disappointing experience.

The monetization aspect of "Farlight Commanders" has been criticized for misleadingly presenting itself as a full game when it is actually a demo/advertisement, which detracts from genuine titles and misuses marketing space on Steam. This practice is seen as a harmful tactic by developers to avoid paying for proper visibility, ultimately leading to a negative experience for gamers. As a result, the game is not recommended due to these deceptive monetization strategies.
- “It's an advertisement/demo for Farlight Commanders.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behavior and it's not good for gamers.”

The graphics of the game are noted to be visually appealing, with nice art design; however, they are undermined by the overall poor quality of the game, which appears to be a hastily assembled reskin of an existing Unreal Engine 2D platformer template.
- “Nice art & graphics”
- “Don't let the visuals fool you on this; the game itself is terrible. It's largely slapped together by reskinning the Unreal Engine 2D platformer game template (the developers didn't even bother renaming that part of it!).”
- “I do hope the guys who did the reasonably looking graphics have gone on to bigger and better things.”

Gameplay is criticized for being clunky and unsatisfying, with a subpar template from Unreal Engine. While it features co-op, spaceship, and platformer modes, the execution fails to deliver on the potential of these ideas, resulting in a disappointing experience.
- “The template isn't the best one Epic has to offer for the Unreal Engine; gameplay is clunky and highly dissatisfying.”
- “There's co-op gameplay (and no players, of course; the quality is terrible) and spaceship as well as platformer modes, but all the good ideas in the world can't be saved by poor quality execution.”
humor

The humor in the game is perceived as forced and lacking in cleverness, with attempts at commentary on a dystopian future falling flat and resulting in eye-rolling moments rather than genuine laughs.
- “It reads like someone trying to do some commentary about a dystopian future, but were more interested in trying to be clever and funny.”

The music in the game is praised for its nice soundtrack, contributing positively to the overall experience.
