The story in the game is minimal and often criticized for its lack of coherence and poor localization, with players noting that it doesn't significantly impact the gameplay experience. Missions are quick and repetitive, with a focus on combat rather than narrative depth, yet many players find themselves engaged and motivated to progress despite the grind. Overall, while the story may not be compelling, the gameplay loop keeps players invested in completing missions and upgrading their fleets.
- “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.”

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 suggests a shift from its original monetization model. Overall, players can engage with the game without the pressure of traditional mobile monetization strategies.
- “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.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and reminiscent of free-to-play models, requiring significant time investment to unlock 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 port than a polished PC game.
- “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 large grinding that you expect from free-to-play games.”
- “Mobile (free but extremely grindy) ported to PC (epic grindy).”
