    The story aspect of the game is perceived as lacking depth, with players wishing for a more campaign-focused experience featuring a cheesy narrative and subpar voice acting, rather than the current roguelike structure. While the game offers a core loop of mission preparation and reputation-building with locals, the overall campaign is seen as potentially short, though future updates may expand its length. Despite these critiques, the game's free-to-play model and cooperative gameplay are appreciated.

    • “You may also choose to assist the locals for an increase to your reputation with them, or in some instances even get rewarded for your reputation via an ammo resupply or an additional tune-up for the next mission.”
    • “The core loop is that you have time in between missions (consistently been 9 hours in zero front, probably subject to change for the full release?) that you can spend on different options.”
    • “Wish it was more campaign focused with a cheesy story and bad voice acting rather than a roguelike, but hard to complain when it's free, with co-op no less.”
    • “This goes on until you finish the campaign, which can be done in a few missions in zero front, but looking at screenshots for the main game indicates that the campaigns will be a good bit lengthier in the full release.”
    • “Seriously, I do wish there was a way to turn off escalation and just have missions have difficulty levels... in a game about mechs blowing up mechs, it punishes you for wanting to have fun.”

    The gameplay is described as engaging and fun, with a strong core loop and a variety of gear to experiment with, complemented by appealing visuals. While players appreciate the rapid development and improvements, there is a desire for the option to start with premade builds to enhance the initial experience. Overall, excitement for the game's future is evident.

    • “The bedrock gameplay is really fun, and the game is coming along very nicely, with progress at a very rapid pace in the last few months.”
    • “Engaging gameplay loop, a lot of gear variety to loot and try out, clean and nice stylized visuals.”
    • “I still wish you could select from a series of T1 premade builds so you could start with a tank build or a rushy melee build, something to really get you going. But the current way the game is made, and with the way that pilot selections are shaping up to be in terms of changing core gameplay, I can say I'm excited for the release.”
    • “Few things of note within the first hour of gameplay:”
