The game's story is described as exotic and interesting, with a unique plot centered around coping with diseases and completing various quests. However, players note that after the initial tutorial, the gameplay becomes repetitive, primarily involving similar missions that can lead to boredom. Additionally, some technical issues and slow progression detract from the overall experience.
“Interesting gameplay, missions, and a compelling plot.”
“I liked the plot and graphics in the game.”
“Exotic story.”
“After the tutorial, the game boils down to repeating the same three missions with slightly varying details (scan something, kill something, collect something), making the game utterly boring. The extra content (e.g. brain) adds some diversity, but also very quickly falls into the same pattern.”
“The game progress is very slow at the beginning; you must complete many quests to get new gear.”
“Your ship flies very slowly at the beginning, and the storyline consists of running quests.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring a mix of action and diverse mechanics that keep players engaged, though some users note a slow start and lengthy crafting timers. While the controls may require some adjustment, the game offers a unique premise and interesting missions, despite minor bugs and a desire for multiplayer support. Overall, players appreciate the depth and variety in gameplay, rating it highly.
“Prepare yourself for a slow start and take the time to learn how to handle control and mechanics.”
“I like the mechanics and gameplay of the game, but most of all I like that the game is full of action; you always find something new and you never get bored.”
“The idea is not bad, you control a nanorobot, which was introduced to a sick person and your main task is to cure him. Nice graphics (but at the same time the game is quite demanding on the video card), interesting gameplay; the only thing I would like is multiplayer, because you always play with friends more interesting. Solid 4.5 out of 5.”
“Prepare yourself for a slow start and take the time to learn how to handle controls and mechanics.”
“90% of gameplay is waiting for absurd crafting timers.”
“I certainly understand that the game has a lot of different gameplay features, but is it possible to add at least partial support for the controller?”

“Music is kind of relaxing, making the job of traveling through the veins and gathering materials almost therapeutic.”
“I liked the beautiful graphics and music.”
“Music and sound effects: 7”
“Don't expect any quality sound and music.”
“The game does not change the music based on the situation, for example, during fights.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, particularly due to the lack of an auto-save feature, which can lead to significant time loss if they die without saving. This has deterred some users from continuing to play after experiencing setbacks.
“I haven't played much because the game doesn't have auto-save. If you die without saving first, you can lose hours of grinding and farming. This happened to me; I wasted 2.6 hours, and because of that, I don't intend to get back to the game anytime soon.”
“The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious. It often feels like I'm just repeating the same tasks over and over without any real progress.”
“I find the grinding mechanics to be frustratingly unbalanced. It takes far too long to level up, making the game feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
