The gameplay combines strategic base-building and army mobilization reminiscent of Risk, enhanced by a unique battle royale twist where the environment decays over time, adding urgency to player decisions. While it is accessible for newcomers, mastering its mechanics offers depth, with interesting cooldown systems and engaging RTS elements that keep players invested. Overall, the gameplay is praised for its originality and strategic complexity.
- “Through these tactics of base-building and conquering mechanics, this title flourishes.”
- “+ very unique and strategic gameplay that's really easy to get into but can be hard to master.”
- “Core mechanics are really interesting and pleasant.”
- “The gameplay feels a tad bit like Risk, but with some city-building and a battle royale-like twist, in which its grids will decay over time (different tiles will have different rates of decay) and collapse into the sea regardless of whatever is on them, be it a bunch of troops or a city.”
- “I just love how much 'Risk' vibes I'm getting from Waves of Atlantide, and yet, the gameplay is definitely not 100% Risk.”
- “Gameplay - as is customary with the stated templates, players erect and mobilize armies toward enemy encampments with the goal of being the determinable victor, all without succumbing to a collapsing continent.”

The graphics in this early access title are generally considered underwhelming, particularly the cityscapes, which do not match the quality of the vibrant forests and sparkling seas. While there is room for improvement, some users feel the visuals are still worth the investment.
- “There is nothing terribly impressive in terms of aesthetics with this title; however, there are concepts that elicit moderate praise.”
- “The graphics for cities just pale in comparison to the lush forests and sparkly seas.”
- “The game can still be improved graphically.”
- “The game needs some graphic improvement, but it's worth the money.”

Reviewers criticize the game's story for lacking depth and engagement, attributing this to the developers' reliance on player-versus-player (PvP) elements instead of investing in single-player content, such as narrative, NPCs, and level design. The introductory story and tutorial are seen as insufficient, leaving players wanting more substantial storytelling.
- “Within my 40-minute let's play video, I've gone through the story intro and the tutorial, lost a match, and won a match :)”
