The game features adorable characters and a charming art style, along with a variety of roles and gameplay mechanics that keep it interesting and enjoyable.

The gameplay is described as simple yet immersive, allowing players to earn keys quickly and choose from various classes and characters, which adds variety and challenge.

Overall, the game offers a blend of strategy and action, appealing to both casual players and those seeking deeper gameplay experiences.

- “The seamless teamwork mechanics make every mission a thrilling adventure.”
- “I think it's nice that most mechanics are easy enough that anyone can join at any time while still having enough different character abilities to provide some variety and challenge if you want.”
- “The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative-based gameplay progression, and so on.”
- “You are prompted to choose a class at the beginning, but what this actually means in terms of gameplay isn't very clear.”
- “No interesting mechanics whatsoever unless you're the streamer.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some users criticizing the low-quality pixel art and lack of professional 3D visuals, while others appreciate the cute art style and overall aesthetic. Despite the graphical shortcomings, some players find the visuals charming and fitting for the gameplay experience. Overall, the graphics are seen as a secondary aspect, with gameplay and interaction taking precedence.
- “Cute art style.”
- “Great graphics, great gameplay.”
- “Fun graphics, great audio, good twitch integration and interaction -- I'm looking forward to see how this game continues to evolve.”
- “This features really godawful pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”

The game features microtransactions, such as purchasing keys to unlock additional playable characters; however, these purchases are not essential for gameplay, allowing players to enjoy the game without spending extra money.
- “The monetization model is fair and doesn't hinder gameplay. You can enjoy the game fully without spending any money.”
- “I appreciate that the game offers optional purchases that enhance the experience without being intrusive or mandatory.”
- “There are microtransactions, but they're not necessary to play the game. One of them, for example, is for keys. The keys are used to 'rescue' (create) additional playable characters.”
- “The monetization system feels overly aggressive, with constant prompts to spend money on in-game items.”
- “While the game is free to play, the paywall for certain features makes it frustrating for players who don't want to spend extra.”

The story aspect of the game is noted for its thrilling teamwork mechanics, but players feel it lacks depth due to a limited number of interactive missions beyond the captain, leaving other characters feeling underutilized. Additionally, the absence of a clear button for mission initiation or crew rescue detracts from the overall experience.
- “The seamless teamwork mechanics make every mission a thrilling adventure.”
- “Needs more missions that people other than the captain can interact with, just so they aren't just standing around.”
- “No button to click on mission, or rescue crew.”
grinding

Players note that grinding in the game often resembles a speedrun, particularly in the "Proteus" aspect, where the focus shifts from speed to efficiently farming gems. This suggests that while the mechanics may encourage quick play, the primary goal is to accumulate resources rather than complete levels swiftly.
- “One of the game modes feels like a speedrun, but in reality, it's all about grinding for gems rather than actual speed.”
- “The grinding in this game is tedious and feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the experience.”
- “I find myself spending hours just grinding for resources, which takes away from the fun of the game.”
