Users criticize the game's monetization for combining a full purchase price with heavy microtransactions, which they find unfair and discouraging, leading to negative reviews and refunds. While some acknowledge the microtransactions are relatively cost-efficient, they emphasize that paying upfront plus dealing with pay-to-win elements diminishes overall satisfaction.
- “Oddly enough, the microtransactions in this game are surprisingly cost-efficient for a pay-to-win game. For $2.50, the smallest amount, you get 5,000 units of premium currency, which is enough to significantly reduce the game's difficulty.”
- “Microtransactions in a multiplayer game that isn't free add additional value for players who want to enhance their experience.”
- “And yes, it has microtransactions on top of that!”
- “I feel that without being free to play while having microtransactions is a very poor choice and will greatly lower the amount of people interested in the game, as evident from some of the negative reviews I have seen from people refunding the game because they think it's unfair that they need to buy a game that's heavy on microtransactions.”
- “Microtransactions in a multiplayer game that isn't free.”
- “Oddly enough, the microtransactions in this game are actually surprisingly cost-efficient for a pay-to-win game - $2.50, the smallest amount, gets you 5,000 units of premium currency, which is enough to completely shatter the difficulty curve of this game into a billion tiny pieces.”

- “Can't enter the first tutorial mission.”
- “Game doesn't freeze, but doesn't load the mission.”

The gameplay offers deep and tactical mech/squad building with diverse possibilities, though some find the actual gameplay itself unremarkable. There are concerns about the game's pricing model causing early player drop-off, and some users experience technical issues during play.
- “The mech/squad building is quite deep with lots of different possibilities and the gameplay is nicely tactical.”
- “If it went free to play, it would not only get more players, but the game would make a lot more money because people would not be quitting the game within the first 2 hours of gameplay to get their money back, as they think the game is money hungry.”
- “If it went free to play, it would not only attract more players but also generate more revenue because people would stop quitting the game within the first 2 hours of gameplay, as they currently do to avoid feeling like the game is money hungry.”
- “As for actual gameplay, it really isn't anything special.”
- “I'm also encountering this error during my gameplay.”
