What players say
Mixed Steam reviews; players who enjoy long-term strategy praise the space setting and fleets, while most complaints centre on pay-to-win, resets, and a weak PC version.
Players who stick with it like the slow, background-running strategy: building up a base, unlocking ships, fighting over asteroid fields and systems, and especially the depth that comes with joining a strong group. Many reviewers praise the visuals and ship designs, and some enjoy the cooperative play with friends. The criticism is much louder. Many players say the game is pay-to-win, with the strongest ships locked behind paid or random pulls and well-funded accounts dominating the servers. Many also describe server resets that wipe progress, a steep and guided tutorial, and an Steam PC client that fails to start for some. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, with more reports of broken progress and launch problems.

- Visuals and ship design
Players praise the graphics, ship models and large space battles, calling the look impressive.
Many players - Long-term strategy depth
Players enjoy building fleets, researching blueprints and managing territory, and playing it alongside other tasks.
Many players - Good groups and community

Some players
Criticised
- Pay-to-win
Players say paid purchases and random pulls give big spenders a clear advantage over free players.
Many players - Progress resets
Players report that servers, campaigns or accounts reset and erase their progress.
Some players - Broken PC client
Players say the Steam version does not start, crashes or runs poorly, and the PC client has not been updated.
Some players
- Who it suits
- Suits players who enjoy slow, long-term strategy and are happy to join an active group for the late game.
- Who should skip it
- Players who dislike pay-to-win, want a smooth PC experience, or cannot accept progress resets and long waiting times should skip it.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 200 hours mostly do not recommend it, citing pay-to-win and resets, while newer players are more divided and often mention the tutorial.
