The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the original steampunk artwork and overall visual quality, while others criticize the lack of customizable graphics settings and performance issues, such as lag and crashes. Many users note that the user interface is poorly designed, making it difficult to adjust graphics options effectively. Overall, while the potential for impressive visuals exists, technical limitations hinder the experience.
“Great original artwork (steampunk weapons / mech bot).”
“The graphics are amazing.”
“It has good graphics already and after its player base increases & some bug fixes it could be quite fun.”
“There appear to be no graphics settings.”
“Upon launching the game, the UI is terrible even for early access and has no options menu (yes, you can't set volume, graphics, resolution, or even look at controls/change them).”
“It lags on my PC and there's no way to turn the graphics down as it crashes when you try to.”

The gameplay is widely criticized for being minimal and lacking content, with many users describing it as a frustrating experience filled with bugs and unfinished mechanics. While some players acknowledge the game's potential and appreciate the large maps, they emphasize that it currently feels more like a sandbox in development rather than a complete game. Overall, the consensus is that the gameplay is rudimentary and not yet enjoyable, with many players questioning the validity of positive reviews.
“I've been playing now for about 20 minutes and I'm just starting to understand the mechanics, and yes they need work, but at least you've not forked out $40 for an unfinished game. You've bought a game that you've acknowledged is still in an alpha to beta phase and being worked on.”
“Love the huge maps & can't wait for the mech gameplay.”
“Now to why I'm giving this game a positive review: as of right now, you're not buying the game for the gameplay; you're buying it to watch it grow and develop into a full-fledged game (which it has tons of potential to be), and the developers so far are incredible.”
“Gameplay is just running around, because there is nothing else in the game.”
“There is no discernible gameplay.”
“This is just a sandbox of unfinished mechanics that honestly make no sense, and you'll have no idea what's going on at all for the duration of playing it.”

The stability of the game has been widely criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, glitches, and performance issues since its early access in 2016. Common problems include spawn and grenade glitches, laggy controls, and map inconsistencies, leading many to deem it an unoptimized and incomplete experience. Despite some enjoyable exploration aspects, the overall consensus is that the game remains a "buggy, unoptimized mess."
“Extremely buggy alpha proof of concept.”
“The controls do not work, it's laggy and buggy; the price it asks for is too much for this.”
“But so far it's a buggy, unoptimized mess, with clunky controls, not working settings, and I don't think it's complete enough to be sold.”

The music in the game receives mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the unique soundtrack and find it enjoyable, others criticize the lack of a main menu theme and limited musical presence, noting that the best part is the brief music heard at the start. Overall, the soundtrack is highlighted as a strong point, but improvements are needed in its implementation.
“The soundtrack is really good, though.”
“Basebuilding, open world, steampunk weaponry, graphics, soundtrack, overall themes, trading cards.”
“Free soundtrack (very unique... I like it).”
“The game really needs to work on its main menu soundtrack and overall OST; it feels lacking.”
“The soundtrack doesn't match the game's themes and feels out of place.”
“The music is forgettable and doesn't enhance the gaming experience.”

The reviews indicate a lack of a cohesive story in the game, with some users expressing a desire for a more developed narrative, particularly in a single-player mode. While the concept of different camps and landscapes is appreciated, there is a call for the game to expand its storytelling elements to enhance the overall experience.
“I like the concept of two different camps, the diverse landscapes, and the story of the game. It should expand in that direction and be as cohesive as possible.”
“Looking forward to more steampunk elements and the first set of campaign missions.”
“A single-player story could be cool, though.”
“No story, no guidance, nada.”
“No story (?)”
“You had to manually input IP addresses, so no... there was also mention of a single-player story mode.”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with users reporting poor frame rates (20-30fps) even on decent hardware, buggy performance, and clunky controls. Many feel that the game is not ready for release due to its lack of sufficient optimization across various maps and settings.
“I have not been able to play this game as there is not enough optimization to do so.”
“A few of the maps still need a bit of optimization.”
“The FPS optimization in this game is poor, leading to my only being able to get 20-30 FPS with a somewhat decent build (FX-6300 and 750 Ti).”

“This is clearly just a cash grab.”
