The graphics of the game have received widespread praise, with many users highlighting their stunning quality and polish, often comparing them to console-level visuals. While the aesthetics and character models are described as beautiful, some players noted performance issues on lower-end devices and expressed a desire for more customizable graphics settings. Overall, the game's visuals contribute significantly to the positive gaming experience, despite some concerns about optimization and performance.
“Amazing gameplay and graphics!”
“The visuals are absolutely stunning for a mobile game and you can tell a lot of polish has gone into this.”
“The graphics are console quality and the gameplay is nice and smooth.. I just started playing but so far I'm amazed on how good this game plays and looks.”
“Also, they could have pre-rendered the graphics to make it playable on a wide range of devices instead of having poor performance for this top-down view angle.”
“I would also like if we had the option to customize our graphics to our taste too because the game looks a little blurry sometimes even on high settings, so I'd like if there could be a resolution setting to enable us to increase our resolution.”
“Distorted graphics and missing text on buttons (unplayable on Nexus 6P - Android version 8.1.0).”

The game's story is criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, with many players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative or campaign mode. While the tutorial introduces a basic premise involving corporate quests to "improve humanity," the gameplay quickly devolves into repetitive missions without significant plot development. Overall, players feel that the game would benefit greatly from a richer story and more varied mission types to enhance the experience.
“The tutorial sets up the premise that you need to work for one of three corporations to take on quests to 'improve humanity'.”
“However, developers could have also put more attention into story modes because missing them made the game feel like just a bunch of missions to grind.”
“Please add a campaign or story mode that will tell stories as we progress to keep the game interesting.”
“The gameplay is fun, but after completing the tutorial there is no story mode or alternate activities whatsoever.”
“However, developers could have also put more attention in story modes because missing them the game felt like just a bunch of missions to grind in.”
“Please add campaign or story mode.”

“This is my review: bad point - the story is mediocre for some people. This game is pretty hard; you need a mid-range phone to run smoothly on low settings, and there is a little pay-to-win aspect, but don't worry, it is not a cash grab.”
“This is my review: bad point: the story is meh for some people. This game is pretty hard; you need a mid-range phone to run smoothly on low settings, and there's a little pay-to-win aspect, but don't worry, it is not a cash grab.”
“I'm amazed that such a great game isn't more known or in the top Google Play Store, yet all the garbage plastered with ads gets to the top. It's such a sad state of affairs.”

Players find the game excessively grindy, with slow character movement and lengthy transition times detracting from the experience. While the graphics and gameplay are praised, the repetitive nature of grinding for higher-level gear and the lack of new content or cooperative elements lead to frustration. Overall, the game appeals to those who enjoy grinding, but many wish for more variety and less time-consuming farming.
“I really want to like the game; it has smooth controls, great graphics, and the gameplay is largely fun. However, it's crazy grindy, and the characters move far too slowly while shooting. The transition time between 'shooting' and 'not shooting' takes too long.”
“It's a fun game until you play all the game modes, which took me a couple of days. The only thing you grind for is higher-level gear from the same type you already have. I know it's supposed to be a grindy type of game, but adding new planets and some open world/shared areas like in Destiny 2 would be really fun, along with more character gear and different types of game modes.”
“Just an endless grinding game, which is right up my alley.”

“The game's got a whole lot of style and quite a bit of substance to back it up. The graphics look and run great, although it's still not 1080p, so there will be some aliasing present. Other than that, it's quite a graphical powerhouse of a game.”
