The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with players feeling that the absence of narrative elements and clear explanations detracts from the experience. Many users express a desire for more structured storytelling and additional maps to enhance player involvement. While some appreciate the challenge of the gameplay, the overall consensus is that the story aspect is underdeveloped.
- “Definitely add more maps, perhaps with a mini-story to have players engaged.”
- “Would love to see more story-driven elements as well, but if you're looking for a battleground style game in space with some legit challenges, you need look no farther!”
- “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc. to the game.”
- “After the tutorial, things get worse as the game has no explanations whatsoever about how the game works. I tried to do a quest, but apparently I was the only person online on the server, so I couldn't get anywhere.”
- “I would love to see more story-driven elements as well, but if you're looking for a battleground-style game in space with some legit challenges, you need look no further!”

- “While it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), the graphics here certainly stand out.”

- “The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better.”
monetization
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized due to a surge of suspicious reviews, likely from fake accounts, which appear shortly after launch and seem to promote the game alongside other low-quality titles. This raises concerns about the legitimacy of the game's value and the potential for it being a cash grab.
- “The monetization system feels exploitative, with prices set unreasonably high for in-game items that should be accessible to all players.”
- “It seems like the developers are more focused on making money than providing a balanced gaming experience, which is disappointing.”
- “The constant push for microtransactions detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game, making it feel more like a cash grab than a genuine experience.”
grinding
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players note that grinding in the game is often limited to a single level due to player count requirements, leading to repetitive gameplay.
- “Due to the player count requirements, you'll mostly be grinding just one level that is available to you.”
- “The repetitive nature of grinding makes the game feel tedious and unfulfilling.”
- “I found myself stuck in an endless loop of grinding, which took away from the enjoyment of the game.”
