- “But having spent several hours with it I can say that the core gameplay loop is solid.”
- “The only difference is the extraneous stuff the developers have bolted on to the core gameplay.”
- “Tldr: it's lite on content but core gameplay is solid.”
- “Some weird issues in docks where your quest pointers from the ship don't go away when you go to control the pilot, so you see the ship's quest pointer from the pilot side looks weird but doesn't interrupt gameplay.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the art style, attention to detail, and overall visual quality, particularly in 3D environments and ship designs. However, significant criticism is directed at the user interface, which is described as broken and poorly designed, detracting from the overall experience. While some players find the graphics suitable for older systems, others feel that they are not the primary focus of the game, emphasizing gameplay over visual appeal.
- “Great art style and world-building.”
- “Nice, crisp visuals with a good attention to detail and some lovely effects.”
- “The graphics are good and I love the overall concept.”
- “It looks like a fun game, but I will never know since the UI scaling, no matter the resolution or other graphical settings, is broken. It is way too big that you can't even do anything (can't hail any ships/stations, progress past the tutorial, unable to even see most of the HUD).”
- “- the UI, oh god, the UI is horrible. Actually, there's no UI; there are placeholders, and I'm pretty sure the devs even said so. But still, you can't release a game with literally no UI. I'm not telling you to make shiny graphics, but it literally takes 10 minutes to make some basic graphics for a bad UI in Photoshop.”
- “Graphics are okay when on the higher resolution settings.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting a lack of variety and repetitiveness in the soundtrack. While some appreciate the quality of the music, it quickly becomes monotonous, detracting from the overall experience. Overall, there is a consensus that the game would benefit from a more diverse and engaging musical selection to enhance gameplay.

- “There is no variety in the soundtrack.”
- “I gave it several chances, but everything from the tutorial, slow jazzy depressing music, long travel times to the initial quest objectives is boring and unexciting.”
- “The game has only one music track, and it's awful. Sure, you can mute it and play your own, but this should be a must, even for the early release of indie games in early access, to have at least more than one track that plays.”

Many recommend avoiding the game until these issues are addressed.
- “Might become more playable after bugs are fixed, optimization is done, and a bit of polish is applied.”
- “Of course, because the game is in alpha, it requires a little bit of optimization. You can already play this game with normal FPS on a PC that is lower than the system requirements. However, when loading, you might experience some serious performance drops and crashes, but this happened to me only once when I loaded my warp save.”
- “Currently, there seem to be quite a few issues with performance degradation.”

The grind often involves repetitive tasks, such as farming for money to upgrade equipment, leading to a sense of monotony despite the game's appealing visuals.
- “Ignoring the minor bugs that are still around, there's still the matter of the tediousness and the fact that half of the time is spent running around and flying from point A to point B.”
- “While the game looks nice, it becomes a very tedious task to go from point A to point B due to both the running time to walk around in a station and the time spent traveling to mission locations in space.”
- “Most of the time I spend in the early game is just grinding for money to get higher-level equipment, and I end up using the same layout all the time since there's no need to change it.”
