What players say

Players are split: some praise the fast action and nostalgic feel, but many others strongly criticize the 2025 update that added Nova Cores as a pay-to-win currency. The game is seen as very short per day, with progression time-locked behind daily missions and upgrades that require heavy grinding or luck.
