Gameplay is described as fun yet initially confusing, with a unique concept that offers a variety of mechanics. While some players appreciate the complexity and potential for depth, others criticize the lack of clarity in how mechanics interconnect, likening it to a simplistic spreadsheet experience. Frequent updates and improvements are desired, but communication from developers has reportedly diminished.

The game is plagued by significant stability issues, with numerous bugs that severely hinder gameplay, including a frustrating camera control and game-breaking glitches like an infinite end turn loop. Overall, players find the experience to be overly buggy, detracting from the game's potential depth and enjoyment.
“Way too buggy, in fact just trying to control the camera is basically impossible.”
“Just completely bug-ridden, lures you in with this idea of a depth type of game only to be flat and empty and filled with game-breaking bugs such as, but not limited to, 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 praised for its enjoyable concept and ideas; however, players express frustration with the intrusive nature of the soundtrack, which persists even when the music volume is turned off. 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.”
