The game features diverse factions with unique gameplay styles, offering great replayability, but some players note that resource management can lead to slow progression.

    • “The game has very interesting gameplay; I quite like how you have to utilize specialized units for building, rather than just having an omnipotent source of construction like in some RTS games.”
    • “Strategy, huge battles, 6 factions with totally different gameplay, great replayability, simple mechanics, resource management, lots of options, team or solo, old school, sci-fi, and lots of building—what's not to love?”
    • “- 6 different races - I love multiple races with different/almost not the same mechanics.”
    • “However, due to some design choices, gameplay issues, and messy user interfaces, getting started is tiresome.”
    • “Alert: ixian operations has decent RTS gameplay but gives me mixed signals on whether it's trying to be serious or not, given the crayon drawing cinematics.”

    • “I have some suggestions for the devs: better music and the ability to save games.”
    • “I can't recommend this game because the game in its current state is just boring, and the tutorials only told you one thing on how to play, then played a song, and then one more thing and another song, so it got boring fast. I thought it was live at one point.”
