The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their low quality, resembling early 2000s visuals despite being released in 2015. Many reviewers note that the graphics are inferior to those of similar mobile games, particularly "Boom Beach," and express disappointment in the lack of optimization for PC, suggesting it should offer better resolution and enhancements. Overall, the consensus is that the graphics are a significant drawback, detracting from the overall experience.
“Sure, the graphics are not as polished as the tablet/mobile versions of these types of games.”
“Only complaint I have is that since it is for Steam/PC, it should be optimized as such, true 1080p upscale and more graphics/audio tweaks and optimization.”
“Its graphics look like they're from the early 2000s but it's made around 2015.”
“Sure the graphics are not as polished as the tablet/mobile versions of these types of games.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it infinitely interesting while others criticize it for being a poorly executed clone of games like Boom Beach and Clash of Clans. Key complaints include unintelligent military unit behavior, lack of strategic depth, and a reliance on time-based mechanics that detract from the overall experience. Overall, it appears to cater primarily to fans of the genre, but many feel it lacks innovation and quality.
“Infinitely interesting gameplay; if it's a clone of Boom Beach, thank you for bringing this great game to the forefront.”
“The basic gameplay works, and if you like those kinds of games, then you'll find enjoyment in this.”
“Has a time mechanic.”
“The mechanics of the game are stupid. The military units are poorly designed; you can't tell them what to do, they just attack whatever is closest. Towers easily destroy them, and they end up dying like rats, even when the tower is left with 10% health from your missiles. The game is bad and seems to do whatever it can to get money from you, nothing more.”
“No innovation, very cookie-cutter, uses a time-based mechanic for building. It's like a poor version of Clash of Clans in every aspect.”
“Inferior graphics, sound, animation, strategy, and gameplay.”

Reviewers express disappointment with the game's optimization on PC, noting that it lacks proper 1080p upscaling and sufficient graphics and audio adjustments. There is a strong desire for developers to address these issues to enhance the overall experience.
“To all reviews out there... no duh it's a rip-off of Boom Beach, can be seen from space that it's a rip-off. My only complaint is that since it is for Steam/PC, it should be optimized as such, true 1080p upscale and more graphics/audio tweaks and optimization. Hope the devs are listening.”

The monetization strategy of the game features microtransactions typical of mobile titles, but it is generally less aggressive than many competitors, avoiding constant pressure to spend money.
“I wouldn't know that, to be honest. All I can say is it clearly has all the mobile signs, microtransactions, etc. But at least, unlike most of them, it isn't constantly tugging at your arm screaming 'buy me, buy me' like some kind of irritating toddler.”
“It clearly has all the mobile signs: microtransactions, etc. But at least, unlike most of them, it isn't constantly tugging at your arm screaming 'buy me, buy me' like some kind of irritating toddler.”
“The monetization model feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without being bombarded by constant prompts to spend money.”
“I appreciate that the game isn't as pushy as others, but the presence of microtransactions still detracts from the overall experience.”
