- “The graphics and UI complexity (which is totally justified by the broadness of the game's mechanics) may scare you a bit, but beneath them is a true pearl of space sim/4X strategy/simulator genres.”
- “So far, I still find it an enjoyable game, and I hope that more people, like me, can overlook the graphics and come to appreciate it.”
- “This game has a unique charm that keeps bringing me and so many others back, the gorgeous (at times) graphics, the sense of sheer scale, the real sense of accomplishment seeing your work before you.”
- “The graphics and UI are huge barriers to entry.”

The gameplay is characterized by a steep learning curve and a mix of deep mechanics across various genres, including space simulation and strategy. While the graphics and user interface are criticized for being outdated and buggy, players find the game's scale, freedom, and rich mechanics rewarding enough to overlook these issues. Once past the initial challenges, the gameplay offers a unique and addictive experience reminiscent of classic titles like Dwarf Fortress.
- “It is truly amazing what has come from such humble beginnings and the potential of the game mechanics are almost endless - no other game comes close to touching the possibilities available in this game.”
- “If you can look past the comically low movement FPS, inherent lag spikes, and early 1990's graphics, discovering, exploring, and exploiting the game features and mechanics available to players is surprisingly fun and addictive.”
- “You may be wondering if you've suddenly gone back in time to the early 90's, but while the game may look like an ancient relic, it has very deep gameplay that combines survival, city building, space exploration, starship construction, and more. The learning curve is more like a learning wall, so it could definitely do with more intuitive tutorials, but if you manage to get past that, it's a very unique game that is well worth the effort in learning.”
- “The graphics and UI complexity (which is totally justified by the broadness of the game's mechanics) may scare you a bit, but beneath them is a true pearl of space sim/4X strategy/simulator genres.”
