The story in "Nimbus Infinity" has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing disappointment over its brevity and lack of depth compared to the original "Project Nimbus." Critics note that the narrative feels rushed, with plot holes and underdeveloped character arcs, leading to a disjointed experience that lacks emotional impact. While some appreciate the attempt at a new storytelling approach, the overall consensus is that the game requires significant improvements to its narrative structure and content to match the quality of its predecessor.
- “The story is amazing and the characters are likable.”
- “The ace combat-esque storytelling is there and the voice actors did a good job on this game.”
- “It has a nice way to spice things up for the series, but the jump from shooter game to 2D anime-style story game is… weird.”
- “The story is extremely bare-bones compared to Project Nimbus's so-so but serviceable story.”
- “There's a hint of a minor subplot where the red-highlight main character and the blonde scientist girl talk about their parents and the expectations they had growing up as kids, but that doesn't go anywhere substantial, same for the main story... because the campaign officially ends right as you're getting used to the general mission flow and format, which is disappointing.”
- “Story feels like a mess and lacks a lot of content that Project Nimbus provided with its pre-mission briefings.”

The gameplay of Nimbus Infinity has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the dynamic combat and dual-wielding mechanics, while others criticize the poor performance, cluttered UI, and lack of content compared to the original Project Nimbus. Although the core gameplay is enjoyable and features solid mech flight controls, many feel it falls short of expectations for a sequel, resembling more of an unfinished spinoff. Overall, while there are promising improvements and potential for future updates, the game currently suffers from technical issues and limited variety.
- “It had great gameplay involving responsive mech flight controls and an adequate lock-on system (automatic lock-on for the easy difficulty).”
- “Game's got a lot of potential and I for one am excited and very much delighted that Nimbus Infinity has made a lot of good improvements to the game and its mechanics.”
- “Otherwise, the gameplay loop is fun and the main cast is all fairly likable.”
- “It has okay gameplay while it lasts, but with so much less variety, it's like playing a weird unfinished spinoff campaign of the original plot rather than an actual sequel that improves upon or at least matches the quality of the original.”
- “It's a shame that you fall through many environment pieces in the second level - buildings and roads, because I think including these as interactions could improve the gameplay, as the roads and buildings have a curvy look to them which makes me want to skate on them with the mech.”
- “As this is early access, the game is going to be far from perfect. It's not a steep learning curve, but it took a while to get used to the combat and navigation mechanics.”

- “Amazing artwork, love the artist and/or artists.”
- “The graphics are as good looking as they have been.”
- “First off, the graphics are stunning.”
- “Seems good but horribly optimized. I can usually run ultra to high graphics on most games, but with this on the lowest possible settings, it's barely 40 steady fps. Don't buy this until it's fixed.”
- “I could run the first game on high graphic settings at a solid 60 fps, but not this game.”
- “Even at everything on the lowest graphics, I can never reach consistent 60 fps.”

The optimization of Nimbus Infinity has been widely criticized, with players reporting poor performance, frequent crashes, and low frame rates even on minimal settings. Many users experienced significant drops in performance during intense gameplay, leading to a frustrating experience despite some positive gameplay elements. Overall, the game is seen as needing substantial polish and optimization to reach its potential.
- “I feel that once this game is optimized a little more, it's going to be a solid hit.”
- “This game looks great but performance dips sometimes.”
- “I have tested on a 1050 and it runs smoothly, but only if everything is low/off and when I’m flying in the sky without too much happening in the surroundings.”
- “Nimbus Infinity is a really disappointing sequel after the original Project Nimbus. The performance is very poor, with consistent crashes and a frame rate that hammers the game experience into the ground. The story is somewhat okay, at least it makes me care about the main protagonist. However, the content is lacking compared to the original, and the UI is a cluttered mess, combining the worst aspects of both versions of the original game. On the bright side, the gameplay allows for dual-wielding with a nice variety of guns, making it a little more dynamic. I still look forward to the next installment from this franchise and hope they will improve upon it.”
- “Performance is still a problem, specifically when a lot of missiles are on screen.”
- “Solid game that needs more polish, with the main issue being terrible performance.”
