The game's graphics are criticized for being simplistic and reminiscent of low-effort retro 2D styles typically found in flash or mobile games, which may disappoint PC gamers seeking higher visual quality. However, some players appreciate the graphics for creating a strong tabletop atmosphere, despite their lack of clarity regarding character functions and strengths.
“Graphics are enjoyable, giving a strong tabletop mood to everything that is going on.”
“The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 'retro' looking 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
“Also, their graphics give no hint to what each of them is good against or what their purpose is.”

Gameplay is centered around straightforward mechanics involving planet takeover, colony building, and fleet management to conquer enemies. While the core experience is engaging, players suggest improving fluidity by allowing unit interactions without the need to deselect them first.
“The core mechanics are simple: you take over planets, build up your colony, and conquer your enemies' territories while overpowering them with your fleet of ships.”
“You have to figure out the game's mechanics from those stats.”
“I think the only change that could be made at this point would be the possibility of not having to deselect units, making the game more fluid, since it is currently necessary to deselect a unit to interact with another when using only the mouse for gameplay.”
