The gameplay is generally solid and enjoyable, featuring a variety of customizations and smooth performance on the Switch. However, some players find the gameplay to be somewhat shallow, despite appreciating its potential for real-life kit customization and design. Overall, while the gameplay is fun, the story aspect leaves room for improvement.
“I am really enjoying this game; there are a lot of customizations, it runs well on the Switch, and the gameplay is fun.”
“Solid gameplay; the story could have been better.”
“The gameplay is shallow; that being said, if you ever wanted to get a kit and customize it in real life, this game is theoretically fantastic for doing a mock-up of the custom paint job or even for kit bashing and making your own kits.”
