While some players have managed to enter the game without long queues, many still experience significant lag and gameplay interruptions, indicating a need for urgent updates to address these problems. Overall, the game is described as "bug-ridden" and "messy," detracting from the overall experience.

monetization

The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on microtransactions and ads, creating a "pay to earn" environment that pressures players to spend money or watch ads extensively to progress. Many users feel that the game is a cash grab, with free rewards being largely dependent on luck rather than skill, and suggest that the mechanics favor those willing to invest real money. Overall, the monetization approach has been criticized for being exploitative and unfair.
- “Designed to draw out as much in the way of microtransactions through peer pressure in a competitive environment.”
- “This game is effectively pay to earn, not play to earn, unless you have cash to burn or are willing to watch ads for an entire year to get the silthereum needed to start cashing out since you can only make 1500 silthereum a day from ads.”
- “Update: the game finally works, but despite decent graphics, it is pretty much a cash grab. The free stuff is basically at the mercy of the 'rng gods'. Suggestion for the developer: if you say summon a commander, then let us summon a commander as a guarantee, not 30-40 shards out of 100 just for a 1-star, after using 10 tickets. Also, create an algorithm that forces players to only attack opponents that are 10,000 power lower than their own, or the game becomes unfair.”

- “The short story felt like a waste of time.”
- “All I did was build the base and complete a few attack missions that lasted only about five seconds.”
- “You can't click on anything and are forced through a lame story: build a ship quickly, go to a big map, fly to a pirate, and then onto the next tedious, forced task.”

- “Stuck 81% also authorization keeps failing rapidly trying to connect... what a funny system to watch just loading and nothing happens.”
- “Stuck, stuck, stuck and maintenance, maintenance, maintenance! Waiting to play this game, do you know what's even funnier? You wait for 3 more hours and then get stuck at 81% again, waiting for more than 3 hours and stuck again! Hahaha!”
- “Maybe you should have changed the 81% to 71%, then it would have been more hilarious.”
