The gameplay is basic and lacks depth, featuring a limited selection of units and simplistic mechanics that involve placing and moving them on a grid. While it includes essential elements for a strategy game, it falls short compared to more robust titles in the genre, lacking AI, online play, and visual standards expected in modern games. Overall, players find it underwhelming and in need of significant enhancements to compete effectively.
- “It's not much at the time of writing this as it'll need an AI, possibly a better tutorial, and ways to 'spice up' the gameplay among other things.”
- “Gameplay consists of buying from a selection of 3 different units, or a bridge structure, placing units on the game grid, and then moving them against the enemy as needed.”
- “While this has all the elements any complete game would need (excluding AI, online gameplay, and a minimum acceptable standard of visuals for a 2021 game), compared with other strategy games it's somewhat farcical. There are online capable turn-based strategies with hundreds of unit types, textured polygons, single and multiplayer modes... this is a very poor cousin by comparison.”

The graphics of the game are considered subpar for a 2021 release, lacking the visual quality and detail found in other strategy games, which often feature textured polygons and a wider array of unit types. Users feel it falls short in comparison to more robust titles in the genre, making it seem like a lesser version of what is available.
