The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the pixelated 3D style reminiscent of other titles, while others criticize the low quality and lack of HD support. Performance issues, such as low frame rates and poor optimization, detract from the overall experience for some users, although a few find the visuals satisfactory and fitting for the genre.

- “On the positive side, I did enjoy the pixel 3D-like graphics.”
- “It's still early days for me, but sound and graphics-wise, it's great; I'm happy.”
- “+ I like the graphic style of this game and the RTS genre too.”
- “Janky controls, very low quality graphics, no support for HD resolution (let alone UHD).”
- “I crashed upon first startup and then got to the spaceship tutorial area which for some reason dropped me to 14 FPS, which doesn't make sense being that this game isn't anywhere near graphically intensive.”
- “This game also graphically has no optimization.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the controls, UI, and combat mechanics as frustrating and poorly executed. However, others appreciate the interesting survival elements and unique mechanics that differentiate it from typical survival games, noting its engaging crafting and resource management systems. Overall, while the game offers a familiar survival experience, it could benefit from clearer tutorials and recipe guidance.
- “The gameplay is interesting as you need to survive and then command a small group of fellows to follow procedures to sustain the village.”
- “I like the game; it's easy to get into and has some unique mechanics that overcome certain limitations of top-down survival games by having multiple layers to make minerals more common.”
- “+ challenging survival mechanics.”
- “Unfortunately, its execution suffers from obtuse UI/controls, a very poor fighting mechanic, a very annoying feeding mechanic, and so far as I can tell, very little content.”
- “The tutorial wasn't fully fleshed out, so there were some game mechanics I had to figure out on my own.”
- “Other than that, most of the gameplay was sensical; maybe there could have been a way to clearly see recipes for items on the table (other than putting the ingredients into it). Some more explanation would be nice via a system such as Civ V's in-game Civipedia.”

The story in the game is somewhat disjointed, with players expressing frustration over the initial asteroid minigame, which feels necessary for narrative context but is unenjoyable. While the tutorial and quests provide some backstory and objectives, they often lack clarity, leaving players to piece together the narrative from descriptions and their experiences. Overall, the unique intro sequence sets an intriguing tone, but the storytelling could benefit from more coherence and guidance.
- “But once again, if you read the description of the game, you kind of get the backstory, so it's just a minor thing.”
- “I thought the intro sequence/story was pretty unique; you fly your spaceship through an asteroid field before crash landing on the planet.”
- “Once you get to the game, I enjoyed building the houses and doing quests to gain colonists.”
- “The asteroid level/minigame in the beginning I absolutely hated, but I can see where it's needed for the story (if the game has any) and I wish you could skip past it at will.”
- “Still getting there, but the tutorial being present on the ship is a little out of place for what you accomplish there; maybe there's hidden backstory as to why, not sure.”
- “Meanwhile, quests tell you to gather resources and craft items without telling you what to look for or which of the million crafting prerequisites and menus you need for these.”

The game's optimization is generally lacking, as players report that while it runs relatively smoothly, it doesn't fully utilize the capabilities of hardware like the GTX 970 to maintain a consistent 60 FPS. Despite being a nice indie title, there are notable areas that require improvement in optimization.
- “It feels relatively smooth, but not 100% optimized. For these graphics, you'd think a GTX 970 would constantly keep 60 FPS, which as of the latest patch it did, mostly.”
- “Nice indie game, but optimization needs some fixes.”
- “This game has no graphical optimization.”
- “It feels relatively smooth, but not 100% optimized. For these graphics, you'd think a GTX 970 would consistently maintain 60 FPS, which, as of the latest patch, it mostly did.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with one standout track that plays during specific events, such as rain. However, players express a desire for a more varied soundtrack to enhance the overall experience.
- “The soundtrack is awesome!”
- “Music is pretty good, though I've only heard one track that occurs during various events, one of which is whenever it rains.”
- “I guess all I wish for is some more music in this department.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect, noting that resource farming quickly fills their inventory, preventing them from picking up new items, even those just crafted. This limitation can hinder gameplay and create a sense of annoyance during resource collection.
- “After about 3 minutes of farming resources, my inventory would be full and I couldn't pick up anything, even if it was an arrow that I just used said resources to make.”
- “The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
- “I spent hours grinding for materials, only to find that the rewards weren't worth the time invested.”
