The gameplay of the game is characterized by strong thematic elements but suffers from weak execution, leading to a lack of compelling mechanics and player agency. While there are enjoyable interactions between different systems and a promising depth in mechanics, many players find the overall experience grindy and lacking in innovation, with some features feeling irrelevant or poorly integrated. Despite its potential and engaging sandbox elements, the game struggles with balance and pacing, leaving it feeling underdeveloped and not fully satisfying for long-term play.
- “The different mechanics interact in a fun way and it feels like there is a lot of room for growth in terms of gameplay elements.”
- “I am also impressed with the depth that the developer has put into the various mechanics of this game as you progress through the various elements and the tech tree.”
- “It is a mixed set of gameplay that plays out very well and is quite engrossing.”
- “There is no statistics to support player agency, migration cannot be stopped or managed effectively, resulting in boring, grindy gameplay that has no meaning other than to wait for the next unlock.”
- “It probably should have been released as early access, since there is a lot of balancing and some campaign pacing/structure that still needs to be altered. The tutorial part of the campaign keeps the hardness of what gameplay should be, thus allowing failures right from the start, and there never seems to be any transition between what should be the tutorial part and then the full game.”
- “The mechanics also aren't unique enough to warrant playing it for longer than an hour or two.”

The story in the game is centered around rebuilding a city from ruins while navigating complex class relations, which some players find conceptually engaging. However, many critiques highlight that the narrative feels linear and simplistic, often resembling a tutorial rather than a fully developed campaign. While the integration of gameplay mechanics with story elements is praised, the overall execution is seen as lacking depth, with some players expressing frustration over the repetitive nature of quests and dialogue.
- “I think it's conceptually pretty cool - building a city back from ruins while managing delicate class relations and progressing through a linear sort of story.”
- “The story plot seems really interesting!”
- “My problems are based on I'm still learning the game, and the game has a specific point that devs ingeniously tied the game's central point into the story and gameplay; your decisions have consequences in a very organic way, you have to pick the needs of one class over another or sacrifice the needs of your people to improve the city.”
- “No more grain shipments due to a story event that got sprung on you and which requires two in-game days to complete?”
- “The campaign is just a glorified tutorial, with a cheesy story on top, having you play the same map as sandbox mode.”
- “Your workers do everything one building at a time like in a mobile game, you can only have so many of certain buildings like a mobile game, basically they designed a really trashy mobile game and then in a last-ditch effort to make sales wrote a 'story' where a bunch of idiots argue in front of you.”

- “What I liked the most are the graphics.”
- “The art style is by far the best thing about the game.”
- “+ beautiful hand-drawn graphics.”
- “The graphics are nostalgic but nothing special.”
- “Tedious and boring strategy game with outdated graphics and no tutorial at all.”
- “Plays and feels like a mobile game more than a PC game... the animations, the graphics, it's all very average.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and lacking meaningful engagement, with ineffective management of migration contributing to a monotonous experience.

Overall, the lack of player agency and outdated graphics further detract from the enjoyment of the gameplay.
- “There are no statistics to support player agency; migration cannot be stopped or managed effectively, resulting in boring, grindy gameplay that has no meaning other than to wait for the next unlock.”
- “Tedious and boring strategy game with outdated graphics and no tutorial at all.”
- “This might get better in a later stage of the game, but after a little while, all this downtime gets very tedious and - unfortunately - boring.”

- “One of the strengths of the game is the great sense of humor that can be found between the lines of the dialogue that the recurring characters throw at you.”
