Despite its potential, the game's abandonment by developers and the presence of numerous bugs have left many players disappointed.
- “Whether that's delivering and planting a bomb whilst stopping your enemy from doing so, or just good old-fashioned 'last one standing wins', guns and robots gameplay is very simple to get used to.”
- “The game is so unique and the graphics may not look too nice but the gameplay is so addicting!”
- “Gameplay never gets old, uber customization, and freaking robots.”
- “Would not recommend, repetitive and not enjoyable gameplay.”
- “The actual gameplay is just generic, and all around, nothing new or exciting.”
- “Now I'm stuck with a bug that minimizes my gameplay time; I somehow manage to not be able to exit the game and or do anything. I click exit game and it doesn't work, and same with editing. I can't edit or remove parts; it's getting annoying when I have to shut down my computer and have to re-edit or re-buy with my currency which is gone. It's getting lots of bugs and I found it losing interest and I've only played it for 14 days.”

The game's story features a mix of sandbox missions and two longer quest chains that include character interactions and meaningful choices, enhancing the narrative experience. However, some players find the process of unlocking story missions through random space port visits frustrating. Overall, while the main storyline offers depth, it is only a part of the broader gameplay, with more content expected in the future.
- “There are currently two longer quest chains that have characters and actual choices, and there is a major branch in the free worlds storyline too.”
- “The story missions are still kinda structured the same, but having actual interaction with characters makes it feel less samey as the random missions you get otherwise.”
- “There's a lot of space for personal challenges, like 'I want to have every node on the map unlocked' or 'I want to amass a billion credits any way I can', but completing the free worlds story is really only part of the game and there's always more storylines to come someday.”
- “This story just ends sad.”
- “One minor gripe is that some story missions are unlocked by visiting random space ports on planets and hoping you trigger something to advance.”
- “I mentioned the thing with the random nature of starting story missions and that kind of sucks.”

- “4/10: The game looks good and plays well, but crafting to build a robot and the overcluttered menu make the game too grindy.”

- “Suddenly the game was unplayable because of the microtransactions.”
- “It's a cash grab through and through.”
