The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them outdated and difficult to look at, while others appreciate the simplicity that allows for large-scale gameplay. Despite the visual shortcomings, many users note that the game's performance and gameplay mechanics compensate for the graphics. Overall, there is a consensus that improvements are needed, particularly in graphics and controls, but the game still offers a unique experience.
- “I love it! Everyone download it! It's like 6MB; how the hell did he fit an entire game in 6MB? The simple graphics allow for insane scale in terms of numbers of troops, which is cool.”
- “The graphics are rather old looking, but with super high FPS, the game plays well too.”
- “Very nice game! The AI is challenging and the controls are a bit wonky, but it runs very well for a game meant to have unit numbers in the thousands. If you expect this to be graphically good, you're wrong, but the gameplay and performance make up for its graphics.”
- “Graphics are difficult to look at without feeling nauseous.”
- “Crappy game with outdated graphics and no proper tutorial; the controls are bad. I do not recommend it.”

Gameplay involves server selection, resource harvesting, and base building using a commander bot, culminating in battles against opponents. While the AI presents a challenge and the game performs well despite high unit counts, controls can be awkward, and graphics are not a strong point. Players express a desire for more robust AI opponents and anticipate future updates to enhance gameplay and controls.
- “Very nice game! The AI is challenging, and while the controls are a bit wonky, it runs very well for a game designed to handle unit numbers in the thousands. If you expect this to be graphically impressive, you're mistaken, but the gameplay and performance make up for its graphics.”
- “Gameplay consists of finding a server and logging on, then using your commander bot to harvest resources and build from a large array of buildings and robotic vehicles, ultimately destroying your opponent.”
- “Since this game has base building mechanics and a PvE mode, wouldn't it make sense to also have a mode where you fight a proper AI player that builds its own base and attacks you with forces it constructs?”
