The gameplay of "The Fleets of Sol" has been criticized for being overly simplistic and repetitive, resembling a mobile app rather than a deep space RTS experience. Players noted a lack of freedom in gameplay mechanics, with limited strategic options and frequent instances of unengaging scenarios, such as warping into empty sectors. While some appreciated the rogue-like progression and moments of tension, the overall consensus is that the gameplay fails to deliver a satisfying or engaging experience.
“A rogue-like gameplay progression as you jump to subsequent sectors deciding whether to return to home base and salvage what you have acquired (and take a break to repair with your constantly-changing fleet) or continue making jumps to different situations (akin to Darkstar One's sector jumping, arriving, being attacked immediately, etc.) adds some panicked moments trying to take down an opposing fleet, as you wait for your abilities to level up.”
“After finding the storyline behind Battle of Sol and the overall gameplay to be enjoyable, I figured I would give this one a try as well.”
“Each sector you jump into is more difficult, but still the gameplay involves the same set of actions.”
“The gameplay was dumbed down and it looked a lot like a mobile app, and apparently the developers suddenly realized this and removed it from Steam.”
“I could not understand why the fighter ships that I built seemed to be missing although they never got destroyed, and generally the gameplay becomes very repetitive, very fast.”
“The gameplay loop is very limited, with the player directing around handfuls of ships at a time to try and either complete an objective or last a minute.”
