- “Just a really bad UI in general, and while the game is both pretty and has some decent audio, the gameplay kills it for me.”

The game lacks a substantial story, with gameplay primarily revolving around repetitive mechanics of flying and shooting ships. While there are minor flavor texts and unlockable ships, these elements do not contribute to an overarching narrative or world development, leaving players with a sense of emptiness in terms of storytelling. Overall, the absence of a meaningful story detracts significantly from the gaming experience.
- “The flavor texts in some of the events add a nice touch, and while there are unlockable ships, there isn't a real overarching story or world development. The ability to adjust the stats on your ship is the main focus of the game.”
