Love it! ### 5/5 — Great game *2018-07-24* Please add iconic space frigates ### 5/5 — Litty *2018-07-24, version 1.1.4* Litty ### 2/5 — Meh *2018-07-11* Uninspired gameplay and early paywall. ### 5/5 — Better than clash royale *2018-07-08* Blah blah this is not “a clash royale rip off” this is a very nice put together DIFFERENT GAME. 10/10 ign would play again ### 3/5 — Moyen *2018-07-08* C’est comme castle cruch mais en moins bien ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scammers *2018-11-14, version 1.2.9* DO NOT PLAY GAME They are extorting 1800 claiming I refunded purchase which is a lie. They site google play which I’ve never used. ITunes refunded once because my bank requested since my account was compromised and I even let devs know and they said it was okay since it was my ex that didn’t recognize charges ( we are in different states and went thru divorce) My account has been hacked twice, I’ve asked for recoveries, a few password changes and informed them something was correct for months. (Facebook states unusual logins) Now they are blaming me for not keeping my account secured. They did a selective ban and are trying to say people owe thousands of dollars. Do not purchase anything from them. I’ve spent on iTunes close to 7k (never refunded)and they are siting google which I don’t use for 1800 or they are deleting my account SCAMMERS Over a week massive players are experiencing trouble with connection issues and this is causing a massive problem when ur not shielded or there is a kill event going on. While farming last few days I’m losing food because I’m food negative and can’t log in and the connection keeps failing and keeps I can’t get into the game.. they need to fix this ASAP.. I would send this in game but I can’t seem to log on n hold a connection. ### 1/5 — Pay to progress + loot boxes = 1 star *2018-09-22, version 1.2.5* Wanted to like it. Do better. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2018-09-16* It’s fun until you reach level 7 act 1 and then in my head I can here it screaming BUY GEMS TO PROGRESS. This is infuriating to play! **Developer response:** Hi Marf. You can progress without buying gems. You can obtain free gems every 2 hours. Also you can improve your reward in both modes, if you want, watching a video reward. Anyway we're going to check the difficulty. THanks for your feedback! ### 1/5 — Nul *2018-07-29* Jeu Clash Royale like, ascension fulgurante mais on se retrouve vite coincé dans le mode histoire, le mode PvP est plat bref sans intérêt **Developer response:** Thanks Null, We have just upload a new version with some balancing changes (v 1.1.6). We hope that you like the new changes. ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2018-07-11, version 1.1.2* Wanna get past the first chapter? That’s gonna cost you ### 1/5 — A freemium farce. *2018-07-08* Welcome to another freemium trap. Get the game for free, play a while, get hooked then rely on online play and $$$ to progress. Again to developers: I would rather pay $10 for a complete game than this freemium farce. One star. **Developer response:** Hi Dave, You can progress in the game without paying. You receive a free capsule each 2 hours. In each capsule you find credits, gems and spaceship units. Also we offer the possibility to speed up the crate aperture watching some videos. You can watch a video at the end of the battle to obtain an extra reward (credits or gems or spaceship units). Anyway, thanks for your feedback, we will consider it. ### 2/5 — Lends Itself to a Frustrating Time *2022-12-28* As you have probably read in countless other reviews, this game has 0 concept of gradual difficulty curve and tends to just toss you into a den full of angry cats after just a couple games on your own without the tutorial. I think it is expected that players develop using the online PVP mode, except there is such little in the way of even match making which I think reveals the game’s true lack of strategic level gameplay and instead boils down to who has the better stuff. Even if you win a multiplayer you then have to watch a long boring add about merge mansion (that is what I saw a lot of while playing this game) or you wait hours to open the crate you earned playing their PVP game… all to hopefully get enough randomly earned awards to upgrade your stuff. Folks, this is a grind fest pure and simple; and you will be watching adds or waiting screens almost as often as playing the game itself just so you can finally beat act 1 of the game. Or spend your hard earned money on stuff. If this game had a much more casual single player mode that could offer opportunities to upgrade in time for the next mission, the rest would be par for the course and an enjoyable game. ### 2/5 — Overly Difficult *2018-09-22* The first area is bad enough (not including tutorials) but the first boss can be beaten without buying stuff with real money. Make the game easier or this review will stay Or just make a difficulty setting or something. ### 2/5 — Pay wall *2018-09-15* The game is great and fun to play, but the campaign is impassable on act 1 the drone mothership. Difficultly is fun to have in games, but the campaign is the only way to amass loot and you can’t replay any previous missions and you get nothing for failing or ties, the only other option is online play against people who probably payed for the game. And don’t give me that bs on finding the right “combination” for the campaign. I only have the choice between three freelancers and they all do about the same, no matter how they are put together they can’t over power a titan with crazy health that drops units on death. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We're going to check the difficulty. You receive free capsules every 2 hours. Also you can improve your reward if you want watching a video reward. Also if you maintain the login streak, you will receive better rewards. ### 2/5 — Impossible to progress *2018-07-17* It is so slow to actually get things and the pvp awards are completely useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2025-11-16* Could you possibly add new features or ships to it. It could be even greater. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-03-19* Fast paced, action packed, fun and simple to play! ### 5/5 — Always coming back *2019-10-13* By far the favorite game on my phone. I wish it would be updated with new content. I am constantly checking for an update! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-11-25, version 1.2.9* Definitely has a lot of potential , loving the retro ### 5/5 — It’s a fine game *2018-10-14* Battle Star Arena is a really fun game to play. I enjoy the mechanics, graphics, music, and pretty much everything else. My only issue with the game is the offline missions. I think I’ve reached a point in the game where the current boss is far out of my league, sure I’m good at playing online battles, but I guess just have to play harder. Nevertheless, this game is all the more fun to play with people you know! Great game !!! EDIT: Thanks for the tip! **Developer response:** Thanks for you review Yudosai. In which offline mission are you stucked (act and mission)? In most of the cases you can beat stronger enemies using the correct deck, i mean, each card has his "breaker". With "breaker" a mean another card that can easy override it. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2018-10-10* I absolutely love this game! It’s awesome. I love space stuff like this and I like the clash royale style as well. The only complaint I have here is act 2 final level. All the levI sleep before this I was able to do with a few tries. But once I hit this level the difficulty went from like, 3 to 37. I would ask that nerf stuff like, this to make the game better for offline. I would also ask that you are able to replay previous campaign missions, but without any reward. Just so people that are stuck on levels like me, are able to play the game enjoyable offline ### 5/5 — Great little game *2018-09-23, version 1.2.5* Good game, fast paced stratgergy. V addictive. Laughing at these people saying it’s pay to win - can’t fault the game for you being bad! ### 5/5 — Pretty fun *2018-09-20* I like the mechanics and overall feel of the game. Only had it for a week but I feel like I’m going to play this for a while. ### 5/5 — It’s great fun.. *2018-09-15* It’s amazing,it’s also addicting but level 8 is a tad too hard for beginners,I can’t get past it because the ships the ai has I don’t,and I don’t have a lot of good ships so that means I will easily be defeated,and defeated I was every time I enter it was a draw or a loss. ### 5/5 — Sickkk *2018-09-02* Wicked good so far so he’ll yeah cuz i hate mobile games --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
