The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting balance issues and awkward mechanics that detract from the overall experience. While some find the frantic nature of managing multiple defenses engaging, others feel that the mechanics are overly simplistic and lack depth, making the gameplay feel more like a chore than an enjoyable challenge. Overall, the game offers a satisfactory experience but falls short of being extraordinary, with players encouraged to try the demo before committing to a purchase.
- “After a few levels, the difficulty increased nicely, forcing me to develop new strategies and take a closer look at the mechanics of the game.”
- “Defending attacks from four directions adds a fun, frantic element to the gameplay, since you can only see 1/4 of your defenses at a time.”
- “Fun game! Playing the introductory missions seems like there's not much to it, but you get up to speed, and the gameplay can kick your ass fast if you're not on top of things.”
- “I recommend this one only if you're willing to deal with some balance issues and some awkward gameplay mechanics.”
- “There are a lot of gameplay mechanics layered on each other that don't seem to add rewarding experiences to it and seem to serve only arbitrary or artificial challenges.”
- “The game can also be pretty hectic in managing all 4 quadrants where you have to focus on stopping enemy projectiles, keeping a watch on your shield and armor, deploying the correct turrets for what the wave of enemies is, upgrading turrets, spawning the correct fleet drones, etc. It seems more like a chore than gameplay.”
