Elite not on sale?
The February update says elite is on sale for $2, but it isn't. Can you please fix this? Thank you!
Confusing
I know my way around 4X games - I've been playing them for as long as the genre has existed. But I found this game confusing. The "tutorial" did not adequately explain what was going on, and used abbreviations without clarifying what they stand for or why the item is important. The interface is unclear and doesn't provide sufficient feedback for me to easily see what I'm doing. That being said, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that there was a good game in here for those who have the patience to figure out what's going on. It seems to have plenty of complexity and potential. Good luck, to those who stick with the unclear and baffling UI and figure it all out!

Has promise
This game has a lot of promise. My biggest complaint would be the economy is tough. I considered marking it down to three stars for that. However, the tech tree is quite large, and it is fun to play (at least on normal or easy difficulty). I would give it five stars and buy the full version if there were a random map option, as this would ensure infinite re-playability.

Best 4X game on iOS
Best 4X game on iOS- there simply isn’t a competitor. To copy another review I made on a game these devs made: This game has it all- good game, awesome devs, good updates. They do updates *very* frequently, constantly putting out new features and content. I’ve never had a bug stick around for more than a few weeks before it gets wiped out of the game. 5/5!

Smashing 4X Game
This is a beautifully simple and easy to play 4X game, which has layers of complexity to keep you involved.
Brilliant but...
Trust this game is made for smart people who know how to handle an empire or fight a war and it has an amazing simulator but once you start to lose money like when your fighting the xeno you will continue to lose money as more and more problems pile up due to the lack of cash so I would really like it if you could make the economy a lot healthier and reduce the impact of trade wars or embargos

Mr
One of of my preferred 4x games. The 5th star is largely merited for the continuous attention to the game (not only bug fixing but ongoing deepening of gameplay and mechanics) and open and argumented discussions with the community.
A very good start
As 4X games go, this has all of the components of a great one. Tech trees are extensive, ship design is a nice touch, and development models are well built. There are rough spots that further development and refining will take care of, so I hope the devs are looking at this as the first of many versions. (Movement mechanics and combat need work, and more data access options to diagnose what's going on with your economy and colonies would be a good thing. The tutorial is also too thin, so much of the learning curve is trial-and-error.) Still, this is a lot of fun and has a lot of promise for tomorrow!

Great game but...
The economy is way to hard, even in easy my profit was negative and I didn't know why because I kept all of my worlds' morales up and kept my worlds' populations up.
Boring
Nothing really happens in this game, you always run out of living space on planets and there's not much to actually do
