The gameplay features a smooth and fast-paced experience, with players unlocking 10 different ships through a gacha mechanic that utilizes warpcores earned during play, eliminating real-money options. However, the reliance on reroll mechanics may diminish long-term engagement, as players may lack incentives to continue playing after unlocking ships. Players appreciate unique ship abilities, such as those found in the Clusterforce, which enhance gameplay variety.
“The gameplay is smooth and speedy.”
“I have yet to go through all the ships, but I like Clusterforce mostly due to its battering ram ability that also functions as a vacuum cannon and mirage/fortress for that lazy 'I-don't-want-to-move' gameplay.”
“10 different ships that are unlocked through a sort of gacha mechanic where you spend a resource you gain from playing (no real money options).”
“The gameplay is heavily reliant on a gacha mechanic for unlocking ships, which can feel frustrating as it limits player agency and progression.”
“The between-run progress is essentially reduced to a gacha system where you spend warp cores, a rare resource that feels hard to come by, making it tedious to advance.”
“With the reroll mechanic in place, there’s little motivation to continue playing, as it undermines the sense of achievement and progression.”
