What players say
Players say the game is too simple, with ships shown only as arrows on a map and no 3D models. The tutorial is decent, but the menus feel clunky and unintuitive. Performance problems appear as the fleet grows, and long load times frustrate some. A few reviewers enjoy the basic loop, but many find the novelty fades after a few hours.
