- “The graphics and skybox for the game are very good and really give you the feeling of being alone on a distant planet.”
- “Graphics – beautiful, truly captures the detailed Mars landscapes from the texture use in the rocks to the majestic canyons, mountains, valleys, and impact craters.”
- “The graphics are outstanding and the environment is stunning.”
- “The graphics were just really bad.”
- “Graphics are blurry and pixelated on max settings.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the solid mechanics and deep crafting system, while others criticize the lack of direction and server stability issues that hinder the experience. Many acknowledge that the game is still in early access, leading to bugs and rough edges, but express hope for future improvements and additional gameplay options. Overall, while there are interesting survival mechanics and beautiful graphics, the current state of gameplay leaves much to be desired.
- “The game's mechanics were very solid and very easy to understand.”
- “The graphics are beautiful, the crafting system is very deep (while a bit tedious at the beginning, but it seems the next update will fix this) and the building mechanic offers a wide range of possibilities.”
- “I personally enjoy craft-centered gameplay, which makes you feel like a true survivor.”
- “Can't connect to any servers and most mechanics are very bland.”
- “I'm not going to give an exhaustive review of the gameplay, because unfortunately, Rokh never had the chance to evolve into an actual game before it died.”
- “I usually don't give a thumbs down for any game, but this one so far was a waste of my time supporting. Gameplay is boring, and if you would like to play locally, forget it. It takes forever to load, then you still can't get on your own game; it won't start up, and while you wait for it to start, you get kicked from your own lobby.”
stability

The game's stability has been widely criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes, server issues, and various bugs that hinder gameplay. While some acknowledge that these problems are typical for early access titles, many express frustration over the lack of improvement since launch, describing the experience as a "buggy mess." Despite the graphical quality and potential of the game, players recommend waiting for further updates before diving in due to the current instability.
- “But, ultimately a waste of time as they got in over their heads funding a buggy mess that has never improved.”
- “The end result was a half-baked buggy mess that can't be defined, and the last bit of money left over from a failed Kickstarter and meager early access sales went towards bug-fixing and server code rewrites... which seemed like a great effort to at least make the game 'playable'... only one look at the servers tells you it's still not, not really.”
- “Super buggy, game crashing, lag, etc. If you are patient enough you can see the bones of what it could become but it's hard to recommend unless you're willing to live with it being very early.”
grinding

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly in crafting and base building, which often requires excessive tool management and material gathering. While some acknowledge that this grind can detract from the overall experience, many still enjoy the game and are optimistic about future updates that may address these issues. The steep learning curve and lack of a food system further contribute to the sense of tedium, especially for solo players.
- “The base building, while it seems to be pretty flexible, is unbelievably tedious and doesn't compel me to desire to build a hut, let alone an awesome Mars compound.”
- “Crafting is very tedious; I should not have like 10 tools, maybe more, and a 5-slot toolbelt, being forced to switch between them in order to craft something as simple as a battery charger.”
- “The game is tedious; after an hour gathering materials and exploring 2 bases right next to me, I only had a doorway and a floor to my hall.”

The game's story is described as a positive aspect, providing a backstory and hints of narrative that encourage exploration, although it may not significantly impact gameplay.

Overall, while the story is not essential, it adds an enjoyable layer to the space survival experience.
- “I enjoy story in games, and it's not lacking in this one.”
- “Although it is an open survival/sandbox crafting game, it does have hints of a story, giving you further incentives to explore your surroundings.”
- “A space survival game is a concept that many developers try, but they usually fall short in either content or story.”
- “If you are playing this game solo, it's going to take you a very long time before you're able to progress in the story to the point of faction standings.”
- “I do have plans to give it more attempts after some patching, as I want to see some of this story progression and to see if the game gets better or to experience some PvP, but at this moment it's just not my cup of tea.”

Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while some players report good framerate and performance, many others experience significant issues such as crashes, framerate drops, and the need for constant tweaking of visual settings. The developers are responsive to bug reports, which has led to some improvements, but there remains a clear imbalance between content and stability, indicating that further optimization and server enhancements are necessary.

- “It needs a lot more optimization and improved servers.”

monetization

Reviewers express frustration with the game's monetization strategy, perceiving it as a cash grab due to restrictive gameplay mechanics, such as a severely limited 2000 tile count for bases. This limitation seems to contradict the promotional material, leading to dissatisfaction among players who feel misled.
- “Feels like they dropped this game for a cash grab.”
- “- Severely limiting 2000 tile count for bases (there's no way the bases in the store page advertisement are 2000 or less tiles as a small cube took well over 600 and that's 3 layers of roofing because apparently one layer does not block out radiation.”
