Players appreciate the inclusion of a Classic mode, which enhances replayability, while also suggesting that a fast mode could further improve time efficiency and encourage multiple playthroughs, similar to other strategy games.

The game's stability is currently criticized for being excessively buggy, leading to a lack of recommendation from users. Many express hope that future updates will address these issues, but until then, the game's performance remains a significant concern.
“If the developers ever finish with their phone-game projects and come back to spending the development time their planned update requires, and in the process manage to fix the bugs they keep introducing, then I'll happily change this to a recommended review of the game itself. But as of right now, this is far too buggy for me to recommend or bother reviewing properly.”
