The story is engaging enough to keep players invested, despite its shortcomings, such as stilted AI voice acting and a rough translation.

Overall, the narrative is not a standout feature, but the game's art direction and gameplay mechanics provide a fun backdrop for the missions.
- “It's not a masterpiece of a story but I was invested in it.”
- “It has its jank, especially in the presentation of its story with stilted AI voice acting and a rough translation, but it's genuinely fun to fly around and shoot down targets as a totally-not-zaku pilot.”
- “It has a beautiful art direction with very strong colors and a decent variety of missions.”
- “AI voices sound bad; I'm not here to moralize about it, but the quality is bad enough to distract from the story being told.”

The gameplay is highly praised for its crisp mechanics and successful translation of the Gundam experience, offering solid and enjoyable mechanics that resonate well with fans of mech games. While some users noted performance issues, particularly with the cockpit screen's frame rate, the overall gameplay remains a standout feature, with hopes for future content to enhance the experience further.
- “I genuinely adore this game - it has really crisp gameplay that gives you the legally distinct Gundam experience.”
- “This one hurt to have to refund, because the gameplay is solid.”
- “The gameplay itself is what you're coming here for and it's amazing.”
- “If you see people talking about the 'performance', the cockpit screen runs at a lower FPS than the game is reporting. You can increase it in the graphics options to help with motion sickness, but you can also open the cockpit to get an unobstructed view, so the low FPS has a mechanical purpose.”
- “Gameplay is decent enough, and that's all I really need.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for poor performance, particularly with the cockpit screen running at a lower frame rate than the overall game, which can contribute to motion sickness.
