- “The game is engrossing, with most quests having multiple ways they can be completed.”
- “It's rare to find a good storyline in a space sci-fi RPG, much less one as captivating as this one.”
- “The graphics are easy on the eye, the characters witty and charming, the combat fun, and the amount of lore and story they crammed into the game is absolutely bonkers.”
- “So the game ends abruptly; you never even get to get a new ship class, you don't meet all the alien races in the encyclopedia, and the story doesn't close with any art or narrative, just 'you've finished part one, visit us here... (url for Russian fans)'. The developers need to fix the clock that earns energy.”
- “Story is incomplete and events become repetitive quickly.”
- “There is an illusion of different storylines, but it's just that. Each plot point is identical, no matter what option you choose.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the reliance on in-game ads, timers, and microtransactions that hinder gameplay and enjoyment.

- “One of the very few games worth supporting with in-game purchases.”
- “It's $19.00 to unlock all the best stuff (not accessible by play) and there is nothing you can do to remove ads in-game. Combine that with an energy system that will cut you off from playing and a timer system which slows you down anyway; it just doesn't seem worth it, not to mention the purchasable currency which really kills games for me.”
- “Too many timers and microtransactions.”
- “Was liking the game until the ad made the game crash. I was forced to use the ads to play because the alternative is too valuable... lost my progress after the crash.”

grinding

Players note that while careful strategy is essential in battles, the grinding aspect is manageable due to the quick respawn of resources and efficient power regeneration, making it relatively easy to acquire replacement units.
- “It will eat you alive if you don't consider your moves in battle carefully, but that just means resource grinding until you can get replacement units. That's a fairly simple process since pre-deposits respawn/refill relatively quickly and power regenerates well, even with the most basic ship.”
- “The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged with the story or the characters.”
- “I find myself spending more time grinding for resources than actually enjoying the gameplay, which really detracts from the overall experience.”
