The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the attractive background composition and solid visuals, while others criticize them as basic and lacking depth, comparing them unfavorably to older titles. Many users express a desire for better graphical options and settings, as well as improvements to performance, noting that the game's visuals do not match the expectations set by its promotional materials. Overall, while some find the graphics satisfactory, others feel they detract from the overall experience.
- “The game has very solid graphics; this could be used for skirmishes that you could access from the command center that would have rewards to them, such as obtaining additional rare resources, knowledge, etc., but also break the monotony of 'living' in the bunker.”
- “Very good game and concept, nice visuals.”
- “The graphics are good and not over the top, so you can focus more on the game mechanics - this is the best and most important thing in this game.”
- “On the other hand, you can zoom in to absurd levels which are totally useless in the gameplay... to top it up, the graphics are terrible, really basic, no 3D, no FPV, you have 20 workers but they are invisible... even the first SimCity had better graphics 20 years ago.”
- “To conclude this review, this game feels like a cheap smartphone game adapted to PC with poor mechanics and even poorer graphics.”
- “There's really nothing special here; the screenshots on the store page are probably actually higher quality than anything you'll see in the game even with the graphics on ultra.”

The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some praising its fun and addictive nature, while others criticize its simplified mechanics and lack of depth.

- “Great concept, great gameplay.”
- “Very addictive gameplay :)”
- “The sabotage mechanic seems to be a bit simplified, but I guess if they want to be 'rated G' they can't show guards shooting the saboteurs or have gameplay that actually involves sending patrols to go after saboteurs and narrow down the locations.”
- “To conclude this review, this game feels like a cheap smartphone game adapted to PC with poor mechanics and even poorer graphics.”
- “Trying to replicate the gameplay of Fallout Shelter without the charm of the stylized graphics, aiming for the plot of Evil Genius without the comedy of a fictional setting, and going for the production logistics chains of the Anno games without the interface to support it.”

The monetization aspect of the game is criticized for being misleading, as it primarily serves as an advertisement rather than a full game. Users express frustration over the presence of demos and ads masquerading as games, arguing that this practice detracts from genuine developers and misleads gamers. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as harmful and unworthy of players' time and investment.
- “If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on YouTube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”

The optimization of the game has been widely criticized, with players reporting extreme overheating issues on gaming laptops, even at low settings. Many find the performance lacking, especially for a game with a relatively simple 2.5D design, and there are concerns about how it runs on platforms like Steam Proton. Overall, the game's optimization appears to require significant improvement to enhance the gaming experience.
- “It's an interesting take on a 'base builder' where the idea is to be as 'efficient' as possible, not waiting for stuff to happen, but anticipating needs to minimize downtime. This requires you to play a couple of times to figure out the optimization and learn what random events will affect your build and optimization priority.”
- “Optimization is terrible; my gaming laptop was on fire at 98°C on low settings. When I played Red Dead 2 on ultra, I was getting 89°C.”
- “That is some terrible optimization for a small game with a 2.5D design.”
- “Performance on Steam Proton is not great.”
