The gameplay of the game is characterized by a familiar top-down RTS format that may appeal to genre fans, but it suffers from an unfinished and unpolished execution, including a clunky interface and limited controls. Players note a steep learning curve due to complex mechanics and a lack of structured tutorials, which can hinder progress. Despite these issues, there are glimpses of potential that suggest a more engaging experience could emerge with further development and content.
- “Interesting indie games and good gameplay.”
- “This is a good example of RTS strategy games; gameplay is similar to most in the genre, so it's easy to get into it.”
- “Top-down or not, the gameplay will be familiar to all strategy fans.”
- “The gameplay is unfinished and unpolished, with a clunky top-down interface and limited controls.”
- “It's much harder to start; the mechanics are a bit complex, the manuals are wordy (like literally reading a manual), and the UI can devour you.”
- “Now I am sure there is more to the game than what I have seen, and I blame the menu and lack of a tutorial for my lack of progress, but even in this very short amount of gameplay time, I certainly saw something that made me want to see more.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing them as outdated and lacking options, such as resolution settings. While some players find the visuals acceptable for the game's style, others describe them as primitive and poorly executed, detracting from the overall experience. Overall, the consensus suggests that the graphics are a significant drawback, with a need for improvement.
- “The graphics of the game are pretty good for the style of the game.”
- “Graphics are acceptable for this type of game.”
- “+ pleasant graphics.”
- “There are little to no graphical options - not that the engine appears to make use of any special video technology, but... not even a resolution setting, really?”
- “This game, with primitive graphics not arguably better than a game from decades ago (yet released in 2017), compares very poorly.”
- “Enemies are marked as green on the map, which is the most backward thing about this game (and that really says a lot). The graphics are low-res to the point of being no-res, and they certainly aren't being helped by the camera being so close.”

The game's storyline is highly praised for its uniqueness and engaging nature, compelling players to return for more. However, reviewers note that the current content is limited, with only one mission available in early access, and express a desire for additional campaigns and maps to enhance the overall experience.
- “I haven’t come across another game with the storyline that the developers have come up with for this game.”
- “The storyline for the game is wonderful and keeps me coming back for more.”
- “I would love to see a campaign or story as well as many more maps for this.”

- “The first and so far only mission implemented in the early access is a raid featuring both the amphibious landings of the Russian Federation and the rapid response from the land-based army belonging to the United States of America. I’ll remind you that Yemen isn’t part of NATO and it has been plagued by civil war since 2015.”
- “The game is in dire need of a lot of things, starting with more maps and missions.”

Players have noted limited replayability due to bugs and AI issues, particularly when controlling the Russian side, which can lead to unintentional victories. The inability to play as certain factions, like the insurgents and Yemeni government, further restricts gameplay variety and overall enjoyment.
- “The replayability is fantastic; every playthrough feels unique with different strategies and outcomes.”
- “I love how the game encourages multiple playthroughs with its diverse factions and dynamic scenarios.”
- “Each time I play, I discover new tactics and approaches, making every session feel fresh and exciting.”
- “When playing as the Russian side, I couldn't get them to leave the boats no matter what and still won somehow. It was a little more playable when I switched to the USA since they start on land, but I feel it was a little buggy since sometimes my units would stop and the AI seemed rather dumb even for medium.”
- “Neither the insurgents nor the Yemeni government are playable factions at the time of this writing.”
