Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Given the rather simple visuals and lack of any elaborate effect or other demanding graphical features, this game can safely run even on low-end systems without problems, especially if the target is 1080p@60fps.
36 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Even without very complex mechanics, Spaceland manages to offer interesting gameplay choices, putting different objective types, new abilities or other variables in each mission, preventing the experience from becoming repetitive.
31 of 173 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Level editor and PvP will be actually great additions.

Audio

Good sound effects.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
It's really nothing like XCOM -- cover is only useful in certain situations, you can shoot after moving, and you'll tend to fight from a range where shots don't miss -- but if you've played XCOM then you'll feel right at home with the interface.
