The gameplay is generally described as simple and entertaining, with some users enjoying the ability to create their own units and engage in battles. However, there are notable issues, such as bugs when using keyboard and mouse simultaneously, and a lack of challenge in achievements, leading to an overall average quality perception. While some find it fun, it doesn't rank highly among players' favorites, and expectations for depth in gameplay should be tempered.
“The stock characters are good and varied with some interesting fighting mechanics.”
“It's a fun game, you can create your own units but I don't really know how it works, but the gameplay is very fun.”
“Not to say the achievements are just simple tasks without a proper challenge, I unlocked them all with 9.5 hours of gameplay and I wasn't even hunting for them most of the time!”
“The gameplay is of average quality; if you use a keyboard and mouse, don't press the movement keys and move with the mouse at the same time because it just freaks out the sandbox map when placing the units.”
