The game's story aspect is notably limited, featuring only two missions available in early access, which can be completed quickly across various difficulty levels. Players report that the campaign lacks depth and a compelling narrative, with most gameplay focused on skirmishes rather than an engaging storyline. While the concept shows potential, the current state of the story mode leaves much to be desired, especially with multiplayer options offline.
- “Make sure you do the story missions as you also unlock a pilot and servo parts.”
- “Pretty fun concept, as I am writing this review it is still in alpha, and only has two story missions.”
- “Only 2 missions available in early access so far... I find the 1st level is an easy game-physics-learner level.”
- “A long, in-depth campaign or storyline - these are pretty much just not in the game. Only 2 campaigns to get you started; I already beat them in the first 2 hours of play on all difficulties.”
- “With only 2 story missions so far (and 4 difficulties for each), you will spend most of your time doing skirmishes.”
- “Only 2 missions available in early access so far... I find the first level is an easy game-physics-learner level (I wasted a couple of hours on easy mode) and after some learning, it was also easy on insane.”

Players note that grinding is a significant aspect of the game, particularly for acquiring loot, which some find excessive. Additionally, the potential for server wipes adds a layer of frustration for those who dislike grinding. Overall, while grinding is expected, it may not appeal to everyone.

- “The loot is a bit grindy, but as it should be.”
optimization

Players find the optimization process frustrating, as it requires self-guided learning for each level, which may deter casual gamers from continuing to play. This aspect could lead to a negative experience for those not deeply invested in the game.
- “It's a bit annoying to learn optimization for each level completely by yourself. An unaddicted player would likely just quit playing the game, similar to most of the games I bought on Steam sale.”
- “It's frustrating that optimization requires so much self-teaching for every level. Many players might give up entirely, just like with other games I've purchased on sale.”
- “The need to figure out optimization independently for each level is quite tedious. Casual players might abandon the game, just as they do with many other titles I've bought on Steam.”
humor

The humor in the game is derived from the absurdly silly actions of the characters, such as ignoring significant threats to chase after a minor drone or being obliviously inactive while the player takes control of the map. This creates a comedic atmosphere, highlighting the ridiculousness of the AI's behavior.
- “The game features some almost hilariously stupid actions, like units ignoring their entire army and base defenses to chase one little drone around, or just sitting at their own base scratching their heads while you claim the whole map.”
- “The humor in the game shines through with the ridiculous antics of the characters, making even the most serious moments feel lighthearted and entertaining.”
- “I love how the game incorporates humor into its mechanics, creating funny situations that keep me laughing while I play.”
