What players say
Players love the depth and replayability, calling it an addictive sandbox with engaging ship and ground combat. However, they warn of a steep learning curve and a UI that needs quality-of-life improvements, with no tutorial and achievements disabled for modded saves. Some note the lack of cross-save between mobile and PC.
