The optimization of the program has received mixed reviews; while some users find it snappy and effective for their needs, others report significant performance issues, including stuttering, freezing, and long load times. Many feel that the interface lacks polish and resembles an unfinished project, suggesting that it requires substantial improvements before being considered a finished product.
“I have tried to use other programs to get the digital maps on the TV, but all of the ones I tried were too complicated for my tastes; I do a lot of prep on my own, and this program does exactly what I want - fog of war, PC/digital battlemap, etc. I've never had a performance problem as I have read others have had here - the program is snappy.”
“Nothing about the interface for this program feels optimized for a PC, and everything around the periphery just feels like an amateur coding project.”
“I hope the dev gets to really work on this and do some major changes and optimizations, but this feels like a proof of concept/alpha build of a program, not a finished product and as someone that backed this I don't feel this should be out for sale yet.”
“It runs horribly, constantly stuttering and freezing with very long load times despite the fact that its creation tools are nothing but a very basic drawing tool and text editor.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be slow and tedious, particularly criticizing the manual map-making process, which lacks essential features like an eraser and undo option, making it frustrating to progress.
“You have to do it manually, which is very slow and tedious.”
“The map-making part is tedious to the extent that I couldn't get past it; the eraser does not work and there's no undo if you mess up.”

Users appreciate the story aspect for its ability to streamline gameplay, allowing them to focus more on the narrative and adventures rather than on tedious drawing tasks.
