IMPRESSIVE!

HUGE game! Beautiful appearance! Deep story! Tons to do! Appreciable differences in factions! Alliances are just starting to build now so the game will only get better! The “Adventure Plan” offers excellent perks for a modest monthly fee (<$5.00). #1 - You are safe in your Station when you are not playing! No more waking up in the middle of night to apply a Shield or sneaking a check on the game at work - Live, work and play when you want!

Text

So started the game and the text is just so small and had such a hard time reading everything also the controls aren’t very intuitive just trying to move would change the screen position and distance of my ship way to easily and to much

Was reading a lot of reviews to see if I wanted to try the game again but have since decided not to after seeing some about how you can lose actual money you spend on the game. I also have issues with the devs being like could you email us or try and find us on Facebook and give us feedback on what we can do better and I’m like read the review you just commented on and go from there. There are a few reviews that mention what phone they are on and then the devs as what phone are you using. All this makes me feel like the devs are just commenting to make themselves look good. Go play a game that has devs that actually care about you.

The Lag is real- great game, Horrible Performance Issues

So tried playing for like a week on my iPhone 8. I really like the game, it seems to me that it has lots of potential and endless hours of actually interesting things to do. The learning curve is quite high, but that’s not a bad thing when you really dive into a game. The only thing that is killing me is the performance of the game on my phone. I have awesome WiFi, so I know that’s not the problem, and I have googled every trick about improving performance but nothing seems to work. The game seems to get extremely laggy and occasionally kicks me back to restart the game. It’s so bad that it really makes me just want to walk away from the game. I hope it improves, because I would love to keep playing.

Not for the casual player

This is a good fun game and still has room for improvement. However after playing it from the start i can say it is definitely not for the average player. This game heavily support pvp even if you don’t want to. The protected areas in the game are not worth staying in and most of the game can’t even be played without leaving the safe area. It’s a sure way to lose everything. You can buy cool ship and earn some but what’s the point if 5 minutes after getting them you will lose them in a raid while minding your own business. Players shouldn’t have to fear getting attacked and losing everything every time they take there ship out. Therefore I would only recommend this game to hardcore players and no one else. I hope one day they will adjust the game to include a larger variety of players.

Pretty pay to win hell

Pretty much the whole game is behind a pay wall. You really can’t progress past t1 stuff without gala and it’s very hard to get gala without cash. There’s pretty much nothing in the game you can’t get with cash and nothing in the game you can get without it.
The game caps everything you can do. It takes maybe an hour or two to run all the encounters explorations wormholes and scanning missions and then you have to wait for everything to refresh unless of coarse you pay cash for some probes. You can’t do sovereignty stuff without insane amounts of gala which again comes back to cash. To attack a system costs $100-$200 worth of gala. Most of the English speaking people have left the game so %75 of the active players left are Chinese. The game has a lot of potential but the pay to win is suffocating it.

Amazing Game - Please add controller support!

This game is beautifully designed and immersive with wonderful controls. The only thing I would love to do is plug my iPhone into the 60” TV and play this with a controller. You could easily make all the menus navigate with the D-pad and add aiming with the joystick etc... If you add this I would just be so, so happy.

Absolute Money Grab

I had a ship that took a month and a fair amount of money to develop as high level blueprints need real money or Gala to pay for, went out and had a player attack me and assuming I could restore the ship wasn’t too bothered, only to find out any PVP fights doesn’t give you an option to restore or repurchase your ship. Basically I lost around $50 of real money to a small fire fight with no viable option to reclaim my month of saving, developing and building.
This is absolute garbage as real money was used on a video game ship and stolen in 2 minutes.
Don’t spend any money and the game is fun but short lived as everything high tier is real money and stolen in the blink of an eye.

(Update)
I emailed the developer and they didn’t do anything, they gave the same reason as before. If the stakes are so high, at least give an option to work for or buy back your destroyed ship.
Something other then asking your Corp for the rare items that no one ever has to donate.

£10 spent and wasted in 24 hours

I was really enjoying the game, even spent £10 to get the ghost ship, only for it to be destroyed by another player within 24 hours with no option, other than compensation to get it back, i think it is terrible that you get players to spend real hard earned money and then allow other players to kill you and loose your ship. I have effectivly wasted £10 and will think long and hard before i commit any further funds to this game.

Response from developer

Greeting Commander, if your ship may be destroyed when completing the quest, you could see the Loss Warning before and after you accept the quest. You can accept reasonable quests, choose suitable ships, equip the relevant emergency equipment in order to get out of the battle in time and avoid ship loss. We are so sorry to bring you the bad game experience. Please pay attention to this situation in the future. If you have problems, please feel free to contact us via Facebook(search “Second Galaxy”) or GM email: secondgalaxy@zlongame.com. We’re always here to help you. Thank you for your understanding~

Not my Favorite Game, but it will do!

Honestly, for what every body thought was gonna be a cash grab game, the developers did really well! It’s just EVE Online that works for mobile, and given al, I have is mobile, I’m happy with that! Another reason I like the game (especially right now) is because it barely needs any internet connection to work. At my house the WIFI is fine, except for the fact that it won’t connect to any online game servers, but on this game I can use my Phones hotspot to play the game. So bravo devs! Great game, gonna keep playing until I eventually get everything I’ve worked towards destroyed and rage quit the game permanently.
Have a nice day if you took the time to read this! :b
