The gameplay is characterized by a unique turn-based mechanic that combines strategic planning with engaging combat, allowing players to bond with their crew while managing resources and skills.

The game's story is largely perceived as underdeveloped, lacking a compelling narrative or character depth, which detracts from the overall experience. Players note that while the combat and gameplay loop are enjoyable, the repetitive mission structure and sparse dialogue leave much to be desired in terms of storytelling. Many hope for future updates to enhance the narrative elements and provide a more engaging quest framework.
- “Second, the combat is really unique and fun. The story is good even if you don't read it. I played it a second time, and even now the story is even better. I recommend it's a 10/10 in my opinion, and it's not even finished, which means there is even more good stuff!”
- “A lot of other elements related to characters and structure were clearly made based on the structure of 'make your own story along the way' and the generally open-ended way the game lets you explore and interact with it as a whole.”
- “Solid 8/10, looking forward to more story content and seeing where this game will end up going.”
- “No intro, no story explanation, no info about who your crew is... even in combat I feel like I don't know what I'm doing.”
- “Currently there is no real driving story and considering development is still underway, I'm not going to be too critical of that fact right now.”
- “The dialogues are very sparse and there was almost no story so far.”
