You manage a growing intergalactic mining corporation, sending drills into planets, moons, comets, and other strange locations. Each place offers resources and discoveries, with hazards and unusual encounters beneath the surface.
On expeditions, you drill through tiles, gather materials and items, and push toward planetary cores. Core fragments can be spent on permanent boosts, while collected resources and discoveries contribute to the value and growth of your operation.
Back at headquarters, build and upgrade facilities, recruit crew members with different stats, and improve drills with new components. Research, facility upgrades, crew development, and the Coretrium perk tree provide long-term progression between expeditions.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its steady drill-and-upgrade progression, saying that unlocks and upgrades make it easy to keep playing for long sessions. The soundtrack and colorful art are also recurring highlights. Other players find the core loop repetitive or grind-heavy, and some criticize the limited decision-making during expeditions or the number of menus involved in managing upgrades.
