  • The game is fun and addictive, providing a casual gaming experience that is easy to pick up and play.
  • Graphics and sound effects are appealing, making the game visually enjoyable despite being a mobile port.
  • The combat system is straightforward and allows for some strategic planning, making it engaging for short play sessions.
  • The game is a direct port from mobile, resulting in a lack of optimization for PC controls and a shallow gameplay experience.
  • Progress saving issues and the inability to delete progress can be frustrating for players, especially when switching devices.
  • The game features a grindy progression system, requiring excessive repetition to unlock ships and upgrades, which can lead to boredom.
  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is minimal and often criticized for its lack of coherence and localization issues, with players noting that it feels secondary to the gameplay. Missions are repetitive and can become grindy, but the challenge and progression keep players engaged, as they are motivated to see how the narrative unfolds despite its simplicity. Overall, while the story may not be a strong point, it serves as a backdrop to the action-oriented gameplay that many find enjoyable.

    • “Just played 1.3 hours, been hooked already and played loads of missions.”
    • “Getting stuck on a mission and having to redo previous missions enough to gain the funds to upgrade my fleet would usually annoy me in most other games, but for some reason, I don’t mind doing that in this one.”
    • “Localization... okay, no one cares for the story, but not only does it not make sense, but also words are plain wrong sometimes, if not missing entirely.”
    • “A quick story is told, and you get a few seconds to give your initial move orders before being cast into the fray.”
    • “Despite each new mission being just a harder version of some previous mission type, I still want to press on and see what happens at the end of the game.”
  • monetization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is a port of a mobile title that eliminates microtransactions, allowing players to collect the in-game currency, khorium, through gameplay or by watching ads. While the mobile version offers frequent opportunities to earn free currency through ad viewing, the absence of in-app purchases in this version suggests it was initially designed with monetization in mind.

    • “It's a port of a mobile game, but without the microtransactions.”
    • “No in-app purchase items.”
    • “You can tell this game was originally designed to have in-app purchases on a mobile device.”
    • “Play the mobile version; you can get free 'gold' and 'khorium' (2nd currency) every few minutes by just force-watching ads.”
    • “You can still collect khorium playing the game and watching advertisements or buy lots of it for a not too pricey price.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics are generally praised for their quality, especially in comparison to other mobile games, with many users noting that they closely match promotional clips. However, there are criticisms regarding the textures of explosions, which some find to be subpar and detracting from the overall visual experience. Users also express a desire for improved graphics and more variety in ship designs rather than simple ports from other platforms.

    • “Good graphics, sound, and it plays almost exactly like it shows in the clips and pictures.”
    • “Graphic quality is excellent compared to most mobile games.”
    • “+ good graphics and music.”
    • “The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from a modern game.”
    • “It seems like they just ported the game to PC without any improvements to the visuals.”
    • “The visual design is uninspired, making the game look like a low-budget title.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and reminiscent of free-to-play models, requiring significant time investment to unlock new ships and slots. While there is an option to expedite progress through microtransactions, many feel that the grind detracts from the overall experience, making it feel more like a mobile game ported to PC.

    • “Keep in mind that it will get very grindy during the game, saving up to unlock slots on ships. Not to mention, getting new ships themselves can take some time. Of course, you can throw money at the game to do this, but you don't need to.”
    • “Essentially, it's like a lite naval combat game, with randomized item drops and a large amount of grinding that you would expect from free-to-play games.”
    • “Mobile (free but extremely grindy) ported to PC (epic grindy).”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor optimization for PC, feeling more like a mobile port with touch screen controls that do not translate well to keyboard and mouse. Users have noted a lack of hardware optimizations, leading to a subpar experience on computer platforms.

    • “The game needs more hardware optimizations to enhance performance.”
    • “It is optimized for mobile, but the experience on PC could be improved for better control and usability.”
    • “The other issue is that it is optimized for mobile, not for computer. The touch screen commands are still present, and it does not feel good on PC.”
    • “Controls are not optimized for PC; it feels like a straight-up port, and it seems the developers only care about making money.”
    • “The game needs more hardware optimizations.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is engaging and straightforward, focusing on catching and destroying enemies within a specific arc, reminiscent of Candy Crush mechanics with a repair timer adding a layer of challenge. Overall, players find the gameplay enjoyable and accessible.

    • “Gameplay is cool; I should catch and destroy the enemy on the current arc.”
    • “A repair timer in a single-player game creates a time wall, resembling a Candy Crush level game mechanic.”
    • “The gameplay of the game is fairly straightforward.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its quality and contribution to the overall experience.

    • “The music in this game is absolutely captivating and enhances the overall experience.”
    • “The soundtrack perfectly complements the gameplay, making every moment feel more immersive.”
    • “I love how the music sets the mood and elevates the emotional impact of the story.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is positively highlighted by users, who find it enjoyable and immersive, contributing to an overall fun experience.

    • “I like this game; it's fun to play and has a great atmosphere.”
