Game is super buggy. Is it maintained?
I’m trying to follow the tutorial on iPhone XR, and there is a lot that doesn’t work. The main thing that’s bugging me is this quick access toolbar in in the left of the screen does not do a lot that it’s supposed to. I can’t remove anything from it by holding it down like the tutorial says, I can’t drag anything to or from it to move things. I don’t have a lot of faith in this old game.

Difficulty seems to be the worst part of the game
They need to change the difficulty levels because it is way too hard even on very easy. i’m used to 4X type space games and this is horrible
Meh...
Way too repetitive. Got boring too fast, maybe like 2 hrs. Not worth the money. Much better games out there.
Repair Station?
Games good but some things aren’t intuitive and there’s no I nfo out there.
For instance Repair Base. I want it. Don’t know how to get the option to build it. Can’t even find it through google.
Researching techs..doesn’t show what level your tech is until you try to upgrade it.

Awful
This game has no chill, even just trying to play on Very Easy
Brilliant game
This is still one of the greatest games on the iPad. It has great depth, is randomised every time you play it so no two games are the same, and all of it makes sense and works. Highly recommended!
Thanks for updating!
Add more features please!
Best Game Ever!!
Start on easy to over come any learning curves.
After that enjoy!!!
I suggest iPads only.... just not the same on an iPhone.

Promising game involves too much repetition and micromanagement
Con:
Some annoying and unnecessary bugs. If fuel converter gets disconnected from network, you cannot reconnect it. You must build new one from scratch - however, you generally restart at the level of fuel you previously generated. Malocs attack frequently, requiring you to fix damage every few minutes. I assume this is intended to add challenge, but mainly it creates tedium, repetition, and excessive micromanagement. If construction station gets disconnected, you can’t reconnect it. Fairly one-dimensional game that plays the same each time. Boredom sets in quickly. Weird combination of tower defense and 4x that does neither well. Game is played in “real time”, which makes it feel longer than it really is and seems mainly filled with repetition - repeatedly playing defense against Maloc attacks. Inability to “automate “ many aspects results in a higher level of micromanagement than most are probably used to in4x games. One of the few games I regret having devoted hours to in the process of mastering it. Not in the same class as Civ or Starbase Orion. Agree with other reviewers that tutorial is not helpful. With most 4x games I check out online user groups. It is perhaps telling that I could find none, which suggests there is not a dedicated user base. I assume that like me most players soon move on to other games. There is only one way to win, and you generally just have to follow the same pattern to win each time, unless you encounter one of the bugs mentioned earlier that require you to redo prior constructions. Once you have the ark ship built, a massive Maloc attack is triggered, yet again adding to the repetitive nature of fighting those ships - the only thing of note that ever happens in the game, and it is the same over and over.
Pro:
Graphics are good quality and handled by an older iPad model. Most items have an “I” symbol associated which allows you to quickly go to an explanation of the item and sometimes helpful hints. While the first hour or so involves some frustrating trial and error learning due to the mediocre tutorial, after that the logic of game and interface are easy to handle. With practice one learns to handle recurrent issues, like shortage of food- prioritize colonization of food producing planets, terraform food producing planets, and research faster harvesting of food.
I deleted the game but would be interested in a richer version 3 that incorporates some automation, ability to take offensive with Malocs, and perhaps additional complexity such as diplomacy or planet development.

Fair
Fairly decent game so far, definitely better than everything else I saw, Rts-wise, at the time.
Great game very frustrating
Starting on the easy difficulty and can not get anywhere weapons platforms just set up are gone in seconds and not a enough resource to replace it start with different approaches looks like it would be great game if it would go some where
Alien tribe 3?
I love this game and I’ve been playing it on and off for years and I’m hoping you guys will make another one with a more advanced interface. That’s all I have no complaints. Thanks!
Free stuff
Writing this to get free stuff. Good game though
Pretty good
Wpuld be nice if you can set a fleet of ships rather than selecting them individually. Overall great game for mobile
Challenging Game
Much like Civilization this game is progressive. The tutorial is a simple walk through but one of the challenges of the game is to discover the different types of tools the game offers. At the beginner stage the obstacles are few and far between allowing you to discover the scope of the game’s tools without much interference.
The Developer and designers should continue their work in creating more complexity but using the same model. The Universe came be expanded and the solar systems more diverse, additionally add complexity to the planets, allow for the development of cities, nations etc
Overall very good job

👍👍
Great game loving it at the moment
Blast
Fun and addictive
Hoping for an update
It’s a good game. Logic is predictable after a certain point but there are no other games like it on the App Store.
Circle Back
Fun game I just re-found on my App list. Playing it again to pass the time.
Unique
Unique take on resources. You actually have get resource to systems and manage resources in different places. Well implemented. Higher difficult setting are very hard!
