The engine has a lot of potential for creating RTS games and is easy to use for those with prior knowledge in scripting and 3D modeling.
It allows for complex technology trees and has a fun map design feature with an in-game map editor.
The asset importing process is simple, making it easier for users to integrate their own work into the engine.

The software is largely abandoned, with no updates since 2015 and a non-functional official website, leading to a lack of support and resources.
Many key features are missing or broken, such as AI functionality, unit sounds, and the ability to create varied terrain, making it frustrating to use.
The documentation is minimal, and users report frequent crashes and bugs, making the experience unreliable and difficult.

Gameplay is hindered by the absence of key features such as varied terrain heights, functional harvester drop-off mechanics, and customizable factions and units, with many promised elements from the manual still unimplemented, leading to a frustrating experience.
- “Missing out on the ability to create specific core gameplay elements such as varied terrain heights (though in a 2D game this can be faked), harvester drop-off (which completely crashes the engine), recolorable factions, infantry units, and multiple promised design features seen in the manual haven't even come close to being implemented.”
