The gameplay is described as fun yet initially confusing, with a unique concept that benefits from constant updates and a variety of mechanics. While some players appreciate the complexity and depth, others find the lack of clear guidance and integration of mechanics frustrating, likening it to a simplistic spreadsheet experience. Overall, the game offers interesting mechanics but could improve in clarity and communication from developers.

“The idea of the game is unique, with constant updates and improvements to the mechanics, as well as bug fixes.”
“Great variety of mechanics and possibilities makes this game more complex (which is good), despite the visuals not being fascinating.”

The game is plagued by numerous stability issues, including severe bugs that hinder gameplay, such as an infinite end turn loop and problematic camera controls. Users report a frustrating experience due to these game-breaking glitches, which detract significantly from the overall enjoyment.
“Way too buggy; in fact, just trying to control the camera is basically impossible.”
“Just completely bug-ridden. It lures you in with the idea of a deep game, only to be flat and empty, filled with game-breaking bugs such as an infinite end turn loop where the AI is still playing the game, but the player is forever stuck ending their turn.”
“UI is weird and buggy.”

The music in the game is generally appreciated for its enjoyable concepts and ideas, but there are significant complaints about the intrusive nature of the soundtrack, which persists even when the music volume is turned down. Overall, while the music has potential, its execution detracts from the overall experience.
“I don't want to hear your Fiverr-made soundtrack despite turning the music to 0; there's no need to blast my ears to orbit with it.”
