The gameplay is currently playable but suffers from a confusing and unhelpful user interface, particularly regarding spawn mechanics and the lack of cost displays for buildable units. While the game has a great concept and beautiful graphics, it is criticized for being overly complicated and frustrating, with a heavy reliance on spamming certain weapons like the minigun, which undermines strategic play. Improvements are needed, especially in HUD clarity and balancing mechanics to enhance the overall experience.
“All of these mechanics incentivize a rushdown strategy and punish attempts to play defensively (which is ironic since there is a survival mode).”
“There are several ways I feel the main gameplay could be improved.”
“In its current state, it's playable but the user interface is not user-friendly; the spawn mechanics (i.e. spawn types tied to different keys and no cost display) feel like a hassle to navigate, which makes it more frustrating than fun.”
“It is a great concept, beautiful graphics, but the gameplay needs some work.”
“It doesn't even tell you how much a tower costs and overall the gameplay is very bad.”

The stability of the game is marred by significant bugs, particularly with the achievement system, which many users find frustrating. While the gameplay itself is enjoyable, the overall experience is hindered by these technical issues, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction.
“The achievements are buggy as hell, and it seems like the gameplay is a bit overcomplicated and confusing, but enjoyable—if only they could get the achievements working!”
