The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of meaningful progression and engagement, with players feeling frustrated by locked content and unfulfilling quests. Many express disappointment over the time invested without significant rewards, leading to a loss of motivation and enjoyment. Technical issues, such as game freezes, further exacerbate the negative experience.
“The quest you do just shows you what to do next in terms of progress but gives a tiny amount in return.”
“I spent hours and hours on end in vain on the steel mill manager in the space recycling mission to go from top 99% to 1% while dealing with mediocre efficiency on 9/10 ends at best. Forged steel just flying off into space and I didn't get anything worthwhile, so I just lost motivation after losing sleep and feeling disappointed.”
“Frozen game, and won't progress past the intro missions.”

“This game drains battery very fast even when it should have very simple mechanics.”
“It has a ton of faults in the gameplay.”
“I've really enjoyed this game for the most part, except whenever I go to accept the delivery requests, I am unable to resume normal gameplay and must close and reopen the game.”
“Man, the machines break down every 5 seconds. I mean, come on, please have an upgrade that decreases the chance of machinery failure, and the mechanics are slow.”

“The grinding in this game feels endless; it takes forever to level up or earn rewards, which quickly becomes frustrating.”
“While the game has potential, the excessive grinding required to achieve anything meaningful makes it a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.”
