The current game lacks a developed story mode, but players are optimistic about its future inclusion, as it is on the roadmap. Many express a desire for a more engaging narrative experience and additional stages inspired by later seasons, indicating that the potential for storytelling and gameplay enhancements during early access is significant. However, those seeking a rich story-driven experience may want to wait until these features are implemented.
“The potential for interesting new cubes/abilities and extra modes (especially a story mode and more multiplayer options) added during the early access phase is near limitless.”
“If you like story games (maybe because of Voltron lore?) or games which you can take your time with, I would not recommend this game to you (at least for the time being).”
“But apparently a story mode is planned, as well as more maps and cube loadouts (like a deckbuilding game), which I'm looking forward to the most.”
“I'd love to see a proper story mode and more stages (there are some locations in the later seasons that would be really awesome in this game) in the future.”

The graphics are distinctly inspired by the Voltron franchise, presenting a spin-off aesthetic rather than a core game style. While the visuals can become cluttered during intense moments, they contribute to an entertaining and challenging gameplay experience. Currently, character differentiation is limited to visual design, with hopes for unique abilities in future updates.
“If a lot is going on, the visuals are sometimes a bit noisy to read, but overall it's a very entertaining and challenging experience.”
“Currently, the different players differ only in visuals and play all the same (which makes it fair), but maybe in the future it would be cool to have different abilities for each character.”
“The graphics are clearly Voltron-related, but it's more of a spin-off than a core Voltron game.”
