Gameplay is generally praised for its building mechanics and graphics, which are considered good and nearly balanced. However, some users feel the game is underdeveloped and should have focused more on refining either PvE or PvP elements before launch, suggesting that the current state feels rushed and lacks clarity in its direction. Clan and guild mechanics are functional, allowing players to collaborate effectively despite some initial concerns.
“The building mechanics are pretty cool!”

“In my opinion, this half-baked turd should have stayed in closed testing and continued to refine gameplay around either PvE or PvP, and then made a more concrete decision at launch by limiting the servers one way or the other.”
