  • Good but I have nowhere to put my alliance HQ

    I have had the game now for a pretty long time now and I created alliance but I look at all the systems and there all other alliance territory so I can’t put my HQ in any of them and I look in the other galaxy’s there is a lot of systems that doesn’t have a alliance on it but then it says I’m out of range to jump there and I tried to jump there so I could build my HQ so now my alliance has no HQ.

  • One of the better space strategy games.

    So far I like it. One of the best things is very few glitches. Good maps. Lots of items and decent amount of bonuses you can get each day. Some packs are decently priced. But not necessary to grow. I know some complain about how long some building upgrades take. But overall actually shorter then most other games of this type.
    Also like that as long as you stay in your alliance territory. You don’t have to stay shielded all the time.
    But on that. At least in my server. For a war game its awful peaceful. Last time my alliance declared war on another. We were actually told by our leadership not to attack any of the enemy bases. Just defensive structures.
    And before the kraken event when you can get the ability to build advanced ships. All the alliances peacefully decide who will get to use it instead of fighting for the privilege.

  • Rude unhelpful support

    Just read a review about in game support which is totally true they do not care, the reason I am leaving this review is the devs responded to review about a totally different subject which is what they do in game, they carpet over your support ticket and close tickets without responding absolutely pathetic. On many occasions now in 3D during big wars the game freezes and you can’t retreat logging back in to find everything you have spent months building destroyed. On one occasion support replied with just a 😥 emoji after I submitted screen shots, battle reports as did other players who experienced the crash at the same time and lose entire fleets.

  • Entertaining even when you blow it and get yourself hammered

    I have been playing for about 2 weeks on and off. After about 10 days I slipped up an attacked something muuuuuuch stronger than me. Normally there is a warning but I guess I missed it. After I got decimated, reduced to 10% fleet strength, I considered restarting. But I stuck with and I am glad. It feels more satisfying rebuilding using only my knowledge and skill without relying on the generous gifts you get to help you get started. That said, it is only a matter of time before the pay to win players are strong enough to destroy protected space and force me to switch to PVP mode. That isn’t my cup of tea, and I will probably leave when that happens.

  • Not worth it

    Lots of bot players and farm accounts.

    Waste of time playing
  • Overall good, but is absolutely play to win

    Gameplay is generally good, let down by buggy/response time slows at the most inopportune times ie big multi player event/battles.

    Don’t be fooled, this is only free to download the app. The game mechanics make it undesirable to play without paying for various in app purchases to repair ships or speed up research. ie 180+ days to research or upgrade buildings. 7+ days to repair ships in the middle of a war etc
    Purchases start at $7 for not very much and go up to $159 for a fair amount...that you could easily burn through in a single hour. The game definitely benefits paid members above casual/free players.

    Support response is usually terrible when reporting issues/bugs ie days to reply and often says rubbish like “game is designed to work that way” or “the logs indicate nothing is wrong”...or scripted irrelevant responses.

    Keep your expectations low and you’ll be fine.

  • Great game but dangerous

    Love this game, but it is fundamentally flawed in that you can be wiped out, literally back to square 1, by bigger players. I’ve actually started again on a new server after this happened to me in an elite galaxy - just did not have the heart or inclination to rebuild. I started, but gave up as I knew how long it was going to take to get back to where I was, and I figured if I had to do that it may as well be in a normal galaxy, with all the fun of making quick progress in the beginning. Either way, you’re always open to being farmed again and again.
    I’d advise avoiding in-game purchases - any resources you buy with your real cash can be (and probably will be) stolen if you’re raided by bigger players.
    The alliance thing is great and poisonous at the same time - fantastic to be in a good one, not so great if you’re on the wrong side of the fence from a load of war-mongers. And there’s the catch: this is a war game. You will be killed and set back. You will have to rebuild. The problem is the effort and grinding (or just $$$) required to do that.

  • Pay to win

    This was once a fun game, and great graphics, but now it’s spend spend spend......if You have deep pockets you have a chance, biggest and best items are always pay items... I wish I could recommend this game.....just stay away and save your bank account balance ......
  • Administrative nightmare

    This game is 99% administrating boxes and upgrades, with 1% gameplay.
