Update was a big step backwards

After all the updates I can never get more than last place in blue stars and barely get by in red stars. They took away all the good modules I got to and the ones that are left are nerfed to the point they’re pretty much useless(enrich only works on red and white stars, upload only works on white stars, genesis can only be used once on the whole star system for 24hr instead of one sector at a time for 24 hrs, genesis also doesn’t create enough hydrogen to be useful once every 24hrs, the stealth trade module has less time then the support module had, the repair drone does so much less repair to the point there’s no reason to even equip it especially compared to the repair support module). Wish they would go back or at least bring back all the old modules. I loved that when I started the game it was easy to get where I was and go at my own pace, and everything was doable, I lost as much as I won in blue stars (which made them worth playing) and I could get more than one planet’s artifacts even by myself (but now I struggle even if I have the help from people with much more powerful modules and ships than me). I can’t even get enough artifacts to use the red star life extender and still have enough to go home with (the hydrogen life extender made red stars more doable)

Artifacts

Combat artifacts can’t be equipped on the attacker ship

Wow wow wow

Game Play

I like the graphics in the music however, the game seems to drag on. I given this game a couple of years and it takes way too long to progress and the fun factor is really low even lower after the update if they want to make the game better they need to address those things then I will re-download it

New update removed lots of monotonous grind

Not sure what others are complaining about, I personally find this new update makes the game a lot more approachable to new players especially. Definitely worth a try.

Update ruined a fun game

Prior to the update this was a fun game which I played for years. This update ripped away beloved technologies, changed some fundamental game mechanics, and overall ruined the game. I’ve had this game installed on every iPad I’ve owned, and am sad to say I’ve now deleted the game after years of enjoyment. I wish the devs would have just released a new game and left this as Hades’ Star legacy, but oh well.

Bad. Just bad

The dark nebula update has completely changed the game in a violently capricious manner. Much of the progress over the last year has been wiped away and replaced with a fiddly, over-complicated system. The beauty that was the minimalistic, complex-yet-simple og Hades Star has been replaced with a pulsing, flashy, over-designed shell of itself. Planet fill bars pulse every 7-8 seconds in an irritatingly distracting way. When choosing sectors to mine the green map flashes brightly at you. The new ship designs are completely over-designed. Battery-based weapons look the same so you can’t tell which of the three you’ve selected by observing the shot graphics. Those shots now glow and compete for space with all the other effects that also now glow. Hydrogen (mined to be used as fuel) is the most abundant element in the universe but is extremely scarce in the new HS. Its scarcity limits the amount you can do at any given time forcing you to play less, which is typically not what happens in games.

I could go on and on, but the fact remains that this once beautifully minimalistic game with good mechanics, graphics, and design choices has turned into a flashy, poorly-envisioned, overly complicated, fiddly shell of itself.
