  • No this isn’t a bot review

    I’ve been playing this game for a couple days and I think it’s really way better to other games on the futuristic concept before it. But a few things that bug me or I think need changing or what I love. One thing I love about this game is it’s simple you can see all the actual battles except one thing you put in a lot of force into it and it only shows like 5 ships and I would love a donation system to other people in your alliance cuz someone will always be needing it. There is one thing I request for an update which is being able to establish trade routes or being able to donate to someone or being able to send something more than a personal message or a fleet to destroy them to someone else

  • Basic game is good but ultimate goal is to destroy all your neighbors

    Graphics are great, but 3 major flaws: A) no mechanisms to protect your station when you are not there ( asleep). Even though you have some shields in your store, everything is activate manually. So someone not in your time zone will destroy you. B) protected zones do shrink and vanish under various circumstances leaving you exposed, then a) happens. C) only numbers matter. If A bigger than B, A wins... When you start in a galaxy, you will never be able to catch up with the biggies and then A) happens... you can buy things with real money, but if A or B happens, your ressources will be stolen. DO. OT SPEND ANY MOENY ON THIS GAME UNLESS YOU ARE THE ONLY BIG FISH IN THE TANK ! I played this game for a month, and got destroyed 3 times, and rebuild only twice... You know why now... Sad...

  • Don’t waste your time and money

    This game has potential as it has a lot of interesting aspects including the usual station/ship upgrading, resource hunting, alliance dynamics, customisation, wars, bonus events and so on.

    The huge thing that lets the game down badly is that once you get to a reasonable level and have invested a lot of time (and money?) in the game (currently level 5, 3.5m development, 4 fleets) a much higher ranked player (20m development) wiped out my fleets and trashed my station taking all my resources in 3 attacks. I hadn’t even finished recovering from that hit when another high ranked player again trashed my (and others’) stations.

    Many players are now quitting and after playing its game for 6 months and really starting to enjoy it I have now decided to move on to another game. Do NOT waste your money on this game. You will only be feeding the high rank players with cheap resources unless the game is changed and gets level matching.

  • Thanks for the reviews everyone!

    I downloaded but honestly never even played this game. The reason being after reading some of the reviews from other people. Who described the game as something I would probably enjoy enough to give it a more than one star. It was the negative comments from other players that mentioned how it’s unfair because developers are favoring Chinese players who also had been cheating and what not. Along with the racial profanity and unbalanced servers that made it unenjoyable even if u did spend money. They described this game as leaving you feeling like u just threw your money away because of the lack of reward or whatever. It was all of the negative comments that I absolutely could relate to from when playing some other games in the AppStore, made me feel like this isn’t really worth my time or money(I mean besides taking to write this review). Having done so, I hope the developers get the message that if they ignore even a few of their patrons, it can effect them in a way like this. Wanna say thanks to everyone for participating in the reviews here(even 4 and 5 star ratings) it really gave the message that even a good game isn’t worth the frustration of dealing with afterwards.

  • Could be a great game

    ... it’s fun and all but pay to win at extreme. There is no balance at all. If a player decides to pay he WILL win. That’s exactly what happened on my server. Guy boosted himself on day one, spending a lot of money and later time to zero one alliance after the other. It’s not fun and shows little respect for smaller players from the developers. I am willing to invest smaller amounts in a game I already do enjoy. With this one I never got that far. It feels good but the prospect of being zeroed (and no illusion: in this game you will loose most of what you worked for for days and weeks) together with all friends you made over night by a single player just didn’t let a warm feeling coming up that would keep my interest or wallet open. Short: if you’re willing to spend a thousand or so... this is your game.

  • MMO curse

    Good game good mechanics awful community and no moderators/admins to handle cheaters/hackers so bugs and cheats go unreported cause corruption isn’t bad if your the corrupt one
  • Great game

    It’s a great game and the concept is awesome. As a strategy lover I definitely would recommend it. The only issues that got created for me were the bugs and starting out. A game like this is expected to have bugs and faults it’s understandable but one thing that I have to say is a great positive is that the developers work on them as soon as possible. Starting out in this game can be quite difficult, the tutorial that you go through isn’t a great help at all. My recommendation would be to join an alliance and ask a lot of questions, it’s ok because everyone’s gone through it. There are other small issues but nothing so outlandish. The game itself is a great game, fun interactive and well designed. The community is one that’s really well designed and makes this game really unique because you have to have an alliance to survive.

  • Decent game but lot of cheaters

    It’s a fun game to play but there are lots of cheaters in it I know of players who spent thousands of dollars but can barely compete with the said cheaters making farm accounts and the DEVs only give the cheaters slaps on the wrists and only ban the farms when caught but nothing to try and stop them from making more. :( would be a great game otherwise

  • Slick game with flawed PVP design

    You can get a few weeks of fun play with this game and revel in the slick design and graphics. Seeing the iPad used for “grown up” graphics instead of blocky old-school stuff is nice. But you soon hit a wall where there’s no way to progress without entering the PVP world, at which point, the game is over. Other alliances have been around a long time and will crush any new force emerging on the scene. It’s a classic bad game design decision, in which early mover advantage (and number) are so utterly decisive that your gameplay is irredeemably doomed unless you choose to join one of the alliances. Since they’re all made of crude children, this is very limiting. This first-mover-advantage design flaw is in so many PVP games, you’d think the game designers would have seen it coming. You can’t even pay-to-win your way out of it; there’s a lot you can buy, but nowhere near enough to compete. Play the game, don’t pay a penny, and expect to be out after a month or so.

  • Needs a Fix

    I downloaded this game a while ago and have played through multiple servers. I enjoyed it at first but a fatal flaw has arose that needs to be looked at, several if you think about it. If you join a new system to late already there’s some alliances that have been established and have come up with the idea of “galaxy domination” these alliances demolish other players consistently and ruin the game. They force players to play by their rules and not how the game was intended. I would not complain without a solution however. If you want to fix this I suggest removing the alliance controlled space function and randomly scattering everybody. They should still be able to move together if they wish however they will not be able to actively control systems and dictate just who gets to really play the game. Also something else that needs to be looked at are the people who actively post that they are trying to hack another’s account. This a more recent thing that I have seen and also needs to be addressed.
