The game's story is primarily focused in the prologue, which offers a more narrative-driven experience, while the full game shifts its emphasis to gameplay and missions, leaving players feeling misled about the story's presence. Although the prologue hints at an interesting plot, many reviewers express skepticism about the full game's narrative depth and character development, with some hoping for future updates to enhance the story. Overall, while the initial storyline shows promise, the transition to gameplay-centric missions may leave players wanting more narrative engagement.
- “Damn, this game has some deep and dark story.”
- “I think you will start getting ideas pretty soon about what's going on in the story.”
- “Story sounds promising.”
- “Full game focuses on gameplay and missions, and you won't find the story of the prologue (or any kind of story), according to 'atomic jelly' on https://steamcommunity.”
- “But due to they are different you could feel yourself a little fooled by deducing there will be a story in the full game because there's a story in the prologue, so better be warned.”
- “But, as it is, if the full game is the same, just with more story and more game modes, I wouldn't recommend it, even as a time waster.”

The gameplay of "Space Mechanic Simulator: Prologue" has been criticized for being overly linear and lacking depth, as it primarily serves as an advertisement for the full game rather than a standalone experience. While some players appreciate the mechanics and tools available, many feel it does not offer enough engaging content compared to other simulation games, making it difficult to recommend over more complete titles. Overall, the prologue is seen as a basic introduction rather than a fully realized gameplay experience.
- “The mechanics of the game are amazing, with some little graphic work to be done (hope to see it in the full game!!!) and some other little things to make it all better, this is just a great game.”
- “Gameplay-wise, I really enjoyed it.”
- “Gameplay is very friendly (as well as developers; open for ideas and appreciating feedback).”
- “I think the main problem is that it is totally linear; there is practically no gameplay since it is just following instructions step by step.”
- “It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with 'Space Mechanic Simulator: Prologue' too.”
- “Didn't invent anything that wasn't already done before: it's just another 'x mechanic simulator', but in 'space'.”

The monetization aspect of the game is criticized for being misleading, as it presents itself as a playable title while primarily serving as an advertisement for "Space Mechanic Simulator." Reviewers express frustration over the practice of publishing demos and ads as separate games, arguing that it detracts from genuine developers and misleads consumers, ultimately deeming it unworthy of gamers' time and money.
- “If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on YouTube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”
