The game's story aspect is notably limited, featuring only two missions available in early access, which players can complete quickly across various difficulty levels. While the missions provide some context and unlockable content, the overall narrative depth is lacking, leading to a focus on skirmish gameplay rather than an engaging campaign. Additionally, the absence of multiplayer options due to server issues further diminishes the potential for cooperative storytelling experiences.
“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.”
“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.”
“Pretty fun concept, but as I am writing this review, it is still in alpha and only has two story missions.”

Players note that grinding is a significant aspect of the game, particularly for acquiring loot, which some find to be excessive. Additionally, the potential for server wipes adds a layer of frustration for those who may not enjoy grinding. Overall, while grinding is integral to the experience, it may not appeal to everyone.
“Be aware that they occasionally do server wipes, so if grinding isn't your thing...”
“The loot is a bit grindy, but as it should be.”

Players find the optimization process frustrating, as it requires self-learning for each level, which may deter casual gamers and lead to abandonment of 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.”
“The optimization process feels overly complicated and frustrating, making it hard to enjoy the game.”
“I found the optimization mechanics to be poorly explained, which led to a lot of confusion and wasted time.”

The humor in the game is characterized by its absurd and often silly AI behaviors, such as units ignoring strategic commands to chase after a single drone or idly remaining at their base while the player takes control of the map. This creates a lighthearted and entertaining experience, despite the game's more serious elements.
“I sadly wish they would tax you terribly right now, with only basic commands and some almost hilariously stupid actions, like ignoring your entire army and base defenses to chase one little drone around and around, or just sitting at their own base scratching their heads as you claim the whole map.”
“The humor in the game is top-notch, with characters delivering witty one-liners that had me laughing out loud during intense moments.”
“I love how the game incorporates absurd situations that make you chuckle, like when my character accidentally trips over their own feet while trying to execute a serious battle plan.”
