The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, often described as a short tutorial rather than a substantial narrative. Players express a desire for more engaging missions and a cohesive storyline, feeling that the current content primarily serves as a sandbox for gameplay rather than a meaningful story experience. While the gameplay itself is enjoyable, many reviewers hope for future updates that would enhance the story and introduce more varied challenges and interactions.
- “Besides the voice acting and story, this game is amazing!”
- “The only feature I would love to see is some kind of story-based campaign incorporated.”
- “It's such a fun game and I love swinging around and smacking robots in the face with the new superpowers, and I can't wait for the planned story mode to come out!”
- “Mildly entertaining but there's no story, no real challenge, no real anything actually.”
- “It's more of a tech demo than a game at this point as the story is *very* short.”
- “Also, there are 5 enemies in the game (that I have seen; there is also the mech but I have not seen it) but only 3 of them have a unique design. They find you randomly on the map and there is never a big enough horde to be anything other than an annoyance. The story is 5 minutes long and it's pretty much a glorified tutorial.”

Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of enjoyment and frustration; while the mechanics and movement systems are praised for their smoothness and variety, many players find the combat clunky and the overall experience repetitive due to a lack of objectives. The game is described as a fun sandbox with engaging powers, but it often feels incomplete, resembling a tech demo rather than a fully developed title. Recent updates have introduced new enemies and powers, adding some much-needed variety, but players still express a desire for more content to sustain long-term engagement.
- “But the actual gameplay is amazing and I couldn't recommend it more.”
- “My opinions have very much changed in the enemy update; the new powers and enemies add much to the game, as well as a new mini-boss type enemy, giving gameplay a lot more variety. The new enemies added make you use all of your powers and add much more variety in gameplay.”
- “Decent little superpower sandbox 'sim' with arcadey gameplay and a fair variety of powers.”
- “The combat mechanics are clunky and unreliable; once you unlock all the powers and explore the city, there isn't much else to do that feels worth it.”
- “The gameplay loop consists of the following: fly around the world, collect glowing orbs, unlock new powers, destroy robots that occasionally try to kill you, and...that's it, until you run out of powers to unlock.”
- “In terms of gameplay, it more resembles that of a tech demo rather than a fully complete, or 'feature complete' game, especially with the price tag.”
