## AI Review Analysis

Analyzed Sep 2, 2026

### Strengths

- A unique steampunk setting and the concept of designing and piloting massive walking walkers
- Responsive walker controls and a physics system that works across varied terrain
- Interesting leveling and skill trees, along with a progression system that is continuously updated

### Weaknesses

- Cheaters, illegal teaming, and exploitative play seriously damage combat and the economy
- Disconnections, crashes, and bugs can cause players to lose equipment and loot acquired over long sessions
- There is little content, the world between cities feels barren, and there is effectively only one quest
