  • Soundtrack is highly praised, with a mix of genres and very enjoyable music that some players want to keep running in the background.
  • The game offers more depth than typical idle games by including operatives and gear management, mission hierarchies, and offline progress.
  • The cyberpunk aesthetic, world building, and lore are well-liked, making it appealing for fans of the genre and casual players.
  • Small font size and UI/resolution issues make the game hard to read and navigate, with some players unable to fix it easily.
  • Gameplay and pacing are considered boring or repetitive by some, with long idle times and minimal engaging content.
  • Heavy use of AI-generated graphics and music has caused negative reactions and concerns about the ethical and artistic quality of the content.

    The music in the game is widely praised as exceptional and immersive, with many users highlighting the soundtrack as a standout feature worth experiencing alone. However, some note that the music appears to be AI-generated, which slightly tempers the enthusiasm. Overall, the soundtrack significantly enhances the game's atmosphere and world-building.

    • “The soundtrack is frickin' amazing.”
    • “Music is top notch though, so don't be surprised if you want to leave it running in the background just for the soundtrack.”
    • “Worth playing just to listen to the music honestly.”
    • “Bit of a shame everyone is gushing about the soundtrack, because it's very clear all the music was also AI generated.”

    The story is engaging enough to be played through in one sitting, but its fragmented delivery in brief increments with long idle periods can disrupt the experience. Players appreciate the integration of character management and mission structure, which helps ease gameplay complexity. There is also a strong desire for expanded narrative content, additional characters, and more interactive features like chat and player-driven markets.

    • “It is cool that you can have operatives and gear to manage while you send them on missions that their stats are relevant for.”
    • “Also has a decent mission hierarchy to walk you through the different game mechanics and features because without that it'd get overwhelming quite fast.”
    • “I don't really see why the dev decided their cyberpunk short stories needed to be shared in this way... telling a 10 minute short story in 20 second increments with 30 minutes of idle time in between.”
    • “Hope we can have a chat system and player-driven item market system (if it works), and more characters and story, please!”
    • “I played through all the playable story in one sitting and would love to play more.”

  • graphics

    Users find the AI-generated graphics unique and fitting, complementing the game's music, aesthetic, world-building, and lore to create an immersive experience.

    The gameplay is considered mediocre, especially for those who are not fans of idle games, but it features a well-structured mission hierarchy that helps guide players through various mechanics and prevents overwhelm.
