What players say

Players describe a stripped-down RTS where momentum is everything: lose the economic snowball early and missions become a long wait. The core loop of capturing floating islands is novel, but many find it repetitive quickly. Players split on depth, with some calling it too simple while others appreciate the balance and workshop content for a free title.
