The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of engagement, with a dull tutorial and repetitive mission sequences that detract from the overall experience. Players report technical issues, including crashes and visual glitches, which hinder progress and make the game feel unplayable. Additionally, the limited variety of units leads to a tedious gameplay loop, reducing the potential for challenge and excitement in missions.
- “Being able to reinforce your fleets from brand new, recently discovered planets adds a snowball feel to everything where money becomes the primary hurdle to overcome to win whatever mission you happen to be on.”
- “The missions go from potentially challenging to tedious formality due to the fairly lackluster variety of units, wherein the same two units can basically carry you through all battles with little to no trouble.”
- “The tutorial has no real spark; while I don't expect a tutorial to be thrilling, it could have a bit of pizazz.”
- “The tutorial has no real spark; the writing could use a bit of editing, and I couldn't even get past the first mission of the tutorial without a soft-lock and having to restart.”
- “It's bad enough that every mission during the campaign starts up exactly the same way, a feat that could have been avoided by just giving you a ship and total control of your home system, rather than forcing you to build the same 1-infantry fleet on turn one just to get some income.”
- “Add onto that the fairly lackluster variety of units, wherein the same 2 units can basically carry you through all battles with little to no trouble, and the missions go from potentially challenging to tedious formality.”

Gameplay is criticized for being bogged down by an over-saturation of resources and a supply mechanic that feels underutilized. Players report feeling like they've barely begun the campaign after several hours, compounded by frustrating crashes that necessitate restarts, leading to a lack of motivation to continue.
- “In addition to this 'advanced' resource being over-saturated, the very notion of the game's supply mechanic almost never comes into play.”
- “At almost 4 hours of gameplay, I feel like I've only scratched the surface of the campaign, and having had to restart several stages due to crashes, I don't really feel like putting any more time into this.”
