The game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players find it infinitely replayable, others criticize it for lacking depth and variety, particularly due to the absence of enemy scaling and unique content.

The monetization aspect of the game is largely criticized, with users noting that while the PC version offers a complete singleplayer experience without microtransactions, the mobile version has shifted to a free-to-play model that heavily relies on microtransactions and in-game advertisements.

Overall, the sentiment reflects a strong discontent with the company's approach to monetization across platforms.
- “A complete singleplayer experience, no microtransactions, no BS.”

- “This company is a scumbag; buy all the expansions and later they feed you ads anyway.”
- “It's fun, I enjoy it, but it got abandoned on PC and the devs focused more on the mobile version, forcing you to do microtransactions. For example, a mission is supposed to give you enough credits to buy this warp drive, and it does, but on mobile, it gives you a pittance and you have to find the other 2,000,000 credits, which is a nightmare on mobile and all but forces you to pay.”
