Many reviews highlight the reliance on microtransactions to alleviate the grind, making it feel like a pay-to-win scenario.

The game's story is criticized for being shallow and poorly integrated, with many players finding it nonsensical and irrelevant to gameplay. While there are elements of a backstory and missions that provide some context, the overall narrative is overshadowed by repetitive mechanics and a heavy emphasis on monetization, leading to a frustrating experience for both new and veteran players. Despite some players appreciating the graphics and the potential for strategic gameplay, the lack of depth in the story and the overwhelming grind for resources detract from the overall enjoyment.
- “The storyline is as deep and expansive as the cosmos itself, offering a myriad of opportunities for players to forge alliances, wage wars, and build empires.”
- “Good game with a good storyline, plenty of battles.”
- “With quests to guide you (but not to control you!), you can get rewards in an open-world (or, in this case, open-universe!) gameplay.”

- “Game plot is poor, never-ending, never going anywhere, pointless.”
- “Con: takes time to do most things, not much of a storyline, not a lot to do other than 'gear grind', very limited open world feel.”

The monetization model of the game has drawn significant criticism for being heavily pay-to-win (P2W) and filled with aggressive microtransactions, which many players feel detracts from the overall experience. Users report that the game has transformed into a blatant cash grab, with constant ads and exorbitant prices for in-game items, making it difficult for free-to-play players to compete without spending substantial amounts of money. While some players suggest that microtransactions can be ignored, the overwhelming presence of ads and the necessity to pay for progression have led to widespread disappointment and frustration within the community.
- “Gamers of all budgets could pick up this free-to-play game without much fear of being beaten into the ground by a wallet warrior willing to shell out hundreds of dollars a week. It was generally understood at the time why microtransactions were so prevalent, as the game was free-to-play, and someone has to pay for the resources that go into development.”
- “Microtransactions seem designed to offer better returns if you make smaller, regular transactions, rather than big ones.”
- “Microtransactions are really not necessary to play.”
- “The game is pay-to-win and power-crept to hell, with lots of blatant microtransactions and structures encouraging you to spend money.”
