The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the attractive atmosphere and solid visuals, while others criticize them as basic and lacking depth, comparing them unfavorably to older titles. Many users express a desire for customizable graphics settings to enhance their experience, but overall, the consensus suggests that while the graphics are decent, they do not stand out significantly and may detract from gameplay immersion.
- “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, as well as its interesting concepts and mechanics, while others criticize it for being overly simplified and reminiscent of mobile games. Players appreciate the focus on game mechanics over graphics, but some feel it lacks the charm and depth found in similar titles. Overall, the gameplay shows promise but may require further refinement to fully realize its potential.
- “I think that the game has an interesting idea that has a lot of possibilities on where the devs can take it, and I think that the gameplay itself is quite fun.”
- “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 has been criticized for being misleading, as it primarily serves as an advertisement rather than a full game. Users express frustration over the presence of such promotional content in game libraries, arguing that it detracts from genuine developers and misleads gamers. Overall, the sentiment is that this approach to monetization is harmful and not worth players' time.
- “We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement.”
- “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 users reporting extreme overheating issues on gaming laptops, even at low settings. Many find the performance lacking, especially for a game with a simple 2.5D design, and note that it requires multiple playthroughs to understand the mechanics of efficiency and resource management. Additionally, performance on Steam Proton is subpar, further detracting from the overall experience.
- “It's an interesting take on a 'base builder' where the idea is to be as 'efficient' as possible, not waiting for things 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.”
- “The 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.”

The game features a strong concept that enhances its replayability; however, some players find it becomes repetitive and lacks replay value once they master the initial resource management.
- “The game offers a fantastic concept and exceptional replayability.”
- “Each playthrough feels fresh and engaging, making you want to dive back in.”
- “The variety of choices and outcomes ensures that no two games are ever the same.”
- “Extremely repetitive; offers zero replayability once you learn how to balance the starting resources.”

story

Reviewers express a desire for a more prominent story element in the game, suggesting that features like difficulty adjustments and interactive gameplay mechanics could enhance the narrative experience. They note that the current story lacks the charm and humor found in similar titles, leading to a disconnect between gameplay and narrative engagement. Overall, the story feels underdeveloped and could benefit from deeper integration with gameplay systems.
- “This would allow the player to use the soldier quarters for staffing soldiers for the missions, equipping them, and having a garage/hangar for a rapid response force, etc. Maybe have interactive enemy commando raids on the compound that would allow the player to control their forces in battle.”
- “Personally, I would like it if there was a story aspect that is more present, also maybe the ability to change the difficulty.”
- “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.”
