  • Pay to win

    You can play most of this game for free and it can be fun for a month or so. However, the game play is heavily slanted towards paying. If you have a thousand dollars to drop on this you can go far quickly. If not it becomes a real slog: there are very limited things to do and after around a month all the upgrades take days, weeks, and eventually months to complete. Unless, of course, you pay to speed things up. It also doesn’t help that in most games you will run up against ultranationalist Chinese alliances or the Russian mafia alliances. They insult and attack everyone. The game becomes stressful and not fun at all. If the paying players were separated from the free players into different playing spaces (“galaxies”), it would go a long way towards fixing the major problems of this game.

  • Game

    Really I like the concept good game play and it’s a really good space game that I would recommend to all that are willing to devote some of there time playing with there friend and just having a good time
  • horrible customer servic

    wars are rigged with outposts disappearing and inability to defend if you are in the galaxy that developers have predetermined to lose, only way to actually play the game is to buy an account on 102
  • Not being able to join u’r Friends

    I joined b/c of all the fun my friends were having. The only down side is that b/c they’re in a different Galaxy, I cannot switch galaxies/servers. Which is the only reason I downloaded this game in the 1st place. Game is challenging at times, but if you can’t have battles with friends or join their alliance it is pretty waste of time. And (time) is one thing that this games takes a lot of time to accomplish. I heard that just to build a level 6 station takes 6 actual months to build unless your part of an alliance. And if someone in the alliance doesn’t like you you can get booted or kicked out for no apparent reasons. One minute you’re part of an alliance the next minute you’re on your own getting attacked by the same alliance you once were part of. Crazy game play. Just jumping to safe zones are almost impossible when the Galaxy you’re in is completely full and then there’s no place to go for safe harbor. So you can build your station back up and replenish your resources and ships.

  • How does this not lag!?!?!?

    I bought this game thinking it would lag and crash like most big games like this however, I started to play and, oh my god, was I happy. Although it is hard to find a place to make your own, it is very addictive and easy to join a group or even make your own but it is quite expensive to do so. I have only found one free system and that won’t last long and I’m desperately trying to make it mine and it’s kinda frustrating. I highly recommend this.

    Love the game the graphics are great I like the the base building the you can build a fleet from the ground up the fleet building is the games best feature along with exploring a full of materials to build with and events keeping you busy but the problem with the game are the players some of the people in the game are complete jerks they will taunt you and keep attacking your base and destroying your fleet that you spend time building up so won’t play again untill the devs do something about the some of the ahole players like the players are awlful I’ve had one player taunt me and chase my fleet across the galaxy the players evil you can have a fleet you spend mouths building only to have another player destroy it within minutes and then taunt you for it I’m out

  • Developers are awful

    Nova used to be an amazing game when I first started playing. It was moderately in depth, not too much for a phone app game. Then as they started to get more players, they began introducing things to the game that made it more and more in depth, and required significantly more active time in order to be decently relevant.

    The action of “pay to play” fully exists in this game. After a month you might be at 2.5 million development if you don’t pay. However, there are players that can destroy you from the start. They have hundreds of millions of development.

    Developers/help center either never respond or give you some generic answer. And they’re contacted by many players often. They now have significant lag issues, rewards not appearing when they’re supposed to and even events not allowing your battle total to show up.

    There was a battle where it went on for 90 minutes, almost 250 million strength worth of fleets were gone, the game didn’t even say it all happened and the players weren’t rewarded according to the event that was ongoing. Then the developers had the nerve to say their systems didn’t register it, which means it couldn’t happen.

    They have “gold” admirals that are almost impossible to get (I have 5 of them, so I’m not complaining for myself). I have guys that have paid for their “recruitment packs” and used them plus the in game money and they still haven’t received a single gold admiral. Their algorithms are mediocre at best.

  • Game is enjoyable, but has major flaws.

    This game is honestly quite enjoyable, very straightforward, and easy to get on with. The mechanics aren’t overly complex, premium ads aren’t shoved in your face constantly, and the game looks and feels fun.

    These are the reasons why I’ll give it two stars instead of one despite the single, massive flaw in the game: you literally can’t move from a system if you start out, and your alliance that you’ve recently will never get big. You can jump to another alliance’s territory , meaning that if you’re surrounded by alliance-controlled space, you’ve been shafted. As well, if you create an alliance you usually immediately get A) preyed on by big alliances or B) just disband it because you literally can’t do anything.

    This game has promise, but his fatal flaw fed me up and I deleted it within a few days. Fix this and then maybe I’d enjoy it, but nobody cares about a little review. Either way, I hope this helps you when thinking to download this game.

  • Great game but please add the following

    So this is an amazing game great graphics and it’s fun to make friends and etc but with making friends I would like that you can press a button to send friend requests and then you can stay in touch all so that you can look up players if you want to join there alliance or send a friend request. Now with making you station it’s fun to make new ship work shops so you can make more at a time or to make defenses to defend yourself of enemys or make you station bigger but I would like you to lower the time over 28 days to just get layer 5 that was just an example but it’s true so please lower the building time
