Overall, the gameplay is praised for its building mechanics and graphics, which are considered good and nearly balanced. However, some users feel that the game is not fully refined, suggesting that it should have focused more on either PvE or PvP elements before launch to enhance the overall experience. Additionally, while clan and guild mechanics are functional, there are areas that could benefit from further improvement.
- “The building mechanics are pretty cool!”
- “Graphics and gameplay are good.”
- “Graphics are nice and mechanics are close to being balanced.”

- “The clan/guild mechanics for general building ownership were problematic. However, the six of us playing together worked around this issue by placing doors and granting access via an upgrade tool.”
