The game's story aspect is currently limited, with players expressing a desire for more varied missions and deeper narrative engagement. While the customization of ships adds a fun element to replaying missions, the repetitive nature of completing objectives without significant story development may lead to player fatigue. Overall, there is potential for improvement as more content is expected to be released.
- “Currently there's a good amount of released missions for a few hours of gameplay, but since it's possible to highly customize your ship, it's still very fun replaying those same missions, usually with a different crowd.”
- “You start off each mission by customizing your ship by placing different rooms in different areas of the ship. You get a set number of rooms and a decent-sized list of types of rooms to add to each slot.”
- “There's also clearly a load more content coming soon with many of the missions greyed out.”
- “You go through specific missions with different objectives you don't really pay attention to and then move onto the next one.”
- “Once you clear your mission objectives, the game just ends and you pick another mission and repeat. I can see it getting tiring fast without some added substance as well.”
- “Is it really just 'mission after mission'?”
