Gameplay reviews are mixed, highlighting both potential and shortcomings. While some players appreciate the smooth mechanics, variety in weapons, and long-term progression, many criticize the gameplay for being overly simplistic and lacking strategic depth, often devolving into repetitive tactics. Overall, the game shows promise but requires further refinement and content to fully realize its potential.
- “Really smooth gameplay, outstanding graphics, and easy to use controls.”
- “There seems to be a huge variety in weapons and ships, which are discovered through gameplay - adding an element of long-term progression.”
- “The big draw for me was the vast potential for fleet building and customization within a solid gameplay framework; if you like optimizing games, there is a lot of fun to be had.”
- “Tutorial teaches you nothing and gameplay is awful.”
- “Gameplay seems rather unpolished and its rather bare bones state it is in now means that I wouldn't recommend buying it now; either wait until it comes out to fix the lack of content and lack of polish than buy it now.”
- “The AI and gameplay is incredibly repetitive.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the stunning visuals, impressive lighting, and smooth gameplay. However, some users note that the aesthetic feels somewhat dated and could benefit from modern enhancements. Overall, while the graphics are a highlight, there is a consensus that further improvements could elevate the game's visual appeal even more.
- “Really smooth gameplay, outstanding graphics, and easy to use controls.”
- “The colors are great: the graphics are well done, the lighting is amazing, and watching ships attack one another is a spectacle.”
- “It has beautiful visuals and the battles are just epic.”
- “This game has bad graphics, bad gameplay, and is bad at explaining gameplay; it's just a bad game.”
- “All I say is that the graphics look very old, 1990ish. That can be improved quickly with some modern graphic filters like SSA, etc.”
- “Perhaps as early access, which means beta testing for a fee, it will improve—graphics, in-game building, ship-scaling so you can actually see something—but it's still rinse, repeat.”

- “The precursors mission is trash, needs a total rework.”
- “In the current campaign, some missions are extremely difficult/impossible to beat as massive enemy forces spawn if you pan over a certain area of a map regardless of when the mission started.”
