Zum Beispiel möchte man den Laser haben oder lieber den Reparaturstrahl. Das kommt per Zufall. ### 3/5 — cost too much to buy *2026-02-11, version 2.0.2* The other battlevoids only cost $2.99 for the whole game, why does this cost $3.99 per level? if you can lower the cost I will buy it, but it cost way too much, even the bundle deal $7.99 is not worth it ### 3/5 — Très bon jeu, mais a du mal à tenir les changement iOS *2024-08-30* J’adore ce jeu, j’y joue depuis très longtemps. Il est excellent mais je rencontre un problème majeur, je joue sur un iPhone 15 et je n’arrive pas à faire défile la barre rouge à droite de l’écran de jeu celle qui gère les chasseurs/vaisseau capture/renforts ce qui m’empêche de pouvoir jouer comme je le voudrais, j’espère que ce problème sera vite réglé, merci ### 3/5 — . *2023-04-08* ... ### 2/5 — Manque d’option et d’upgrade *2022-01-17* Stratégie limitée, les marines ne peuvent prendre qu’un seul vaisseau rendant inutile d’en avoir beaucoup comparé aux autres options. Cap à 4 15k renforts au lieux de 5, pas de possibilité d’utiliser l’argent après avoir construit la base et summon le maximum de renforts. La 5e mission n’est pas considérée comme complétée alors que j’ai attendu 50 et 120 waves(1er et 2e essaie) avant de tuer le boss. Possibilité d’orienter les research serait bien car avoir 5 marines dmg de suite alors que tu ne joue pas marines est inutile. ### 4/5 — Nicht übel *2020-06-21* Macht schon Spass, ist aber leider selbst auf „easy“ nahezu unmöglich zu schaffen. ### 4/5 — Good Game but... *2020-04-08* Its a littelbit hard for the level, would it be able to set ip scienticst, which can develop... something, they automaticly sell, so you get more mony, like 100 or 200 every time they develop? ### 4/5 — Great game ... BUT *2019-03-14, version 2.0.2* This game is fun to play and The graphics are nice but having a payed campaign is kinda weird if there were some small ads you can make the profit to remove the payed campaign I still love you game keep up the great work ### 2/5 — Not free. A trial... *2019-01-18, version 2.0.2* Great concept. Fun and challenging until you figure out there is one very simple strategy that beats the ONE campaign you get without paying for more. Make free and will give 3.5stars, then balance the strategy out and easily 4-4.5 stars! ### 4/5 — Very good *2018-12-24* One of my favorite games I admire the art style and the gameplay there are a few bugs you one mainly that bothers me is that you can’t scroll on the side to view the rest of your ships you used to be able to do that, as well as other minor details. Although I do wish you can use more than 5 ships it would be more interesting especially as in the endless mode it gets exponentially more difficult so it would be fun to get to the higher levels. ### 3/5 — Geiles Spiel aber *2018-08-27* Viel zu schwer schaffe das erste LOL nichtmal ....😭 dass man dann fūr das nāchste zahlen muss finde ich auch nicht so geil ### 3/5 — Needs work *2018-04-04* Desperately needs a progression system like Battlevoid: harbinger. Need a reward of some kind for completing missions because they are very difficult ### 2/5 — Somewhat misleading pictures from developer *2018-03-03* Update: Some lame, pointless dialogue. Detailed graphics wasted on the tiny game objects. Uses archaic PC button/commands instead of iOS gestures (most iOS app developers are guilty of that). And, unfortunately, repetitiously boring game play. —— While the App Store pictures are in landscape orientation, the game is the typical ‘stuck in the iPhone box’ and only supports portrait orientation, do it’s not ‘really’ completely iPad compatible since it doesn’t support landscape. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-03-06, version 2.0.0* Hours of fun. My only complaint is the in-app purchase to get the extra levels won't work for me. Been trying all day. ### 3/5 — Good but *2016-11-20, version 2.0.0* It's way to hard to go though story could be better there should be a upgrade to the station and the turrets like more slots or something just way to hard ### 3/5 — Interesting but seems too challenges *2016-10-08, version 2.0.0* Good game but the game balance is not too well. I have tried almost 10 times just to complete the first stage. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay2win *2020-03-29* Lächerlich ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2019-03-07, version 2.0.2* Very rubbish game ### 1/5 — Bad re-use code.. *2019-02-24, version 2.0.2* Very bad re-used harbinger.. and here I thought this was going to be better instead it’s clearly just a lazy boring money grab reusing there exiting game code. Was gonna get sector siege but this has put me off this series entirely! ### 1/5 — To many bugs - rate again when fixed *2017-08-25* One major one that happened 3 times is once I build up a force and purchase or capture my 2nd capital ship (ships larger than fighters) the game freezes up. The only fix is to reboot my phone. Once I log back in ALL my ships (fighters and capital) are gone and the enemies force still stands so at that point my base can't fight off that much and I'm forced to start over or is this your idea of making the game difficult? Or is this a pay to play tactic? Let me guess I drop some cash and the issue stops? Honestly it could be a fun game. However the above is extremely frustrating. ### 1/5 — Wie Demow *2016-08-03* Leider nur 1 Mission Spielbar 50 Wellen endlos Modus nur durch Kauf der 2 3 oder 4ten Mission Spielbar wer keine 2,99 ausgeben will hat hier nur kurzen Spiel Spaß ### 1/5 — Läuft nicht *2015-11-18* Ich hab es mir auf iPhone und zwei iPads geladen. Es startet auf keinem Gerät. ☹ ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2015-08-17* Auf Ipad Air funktioniert das Spiel nicht! :( ### 1/5 — Beyond Challenging *2015-05-19, version 1.3.0* The Wanderers (first race) used to be very challenging but do-able. Last update moved them to impossible. Highest level I've been able to clear is 18 when I used to be able to at least reach the 50th level before the last update. Gotten very frustrated and I don't care about the new universe coming soon. This game now is a complete waste of time. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2015-05-11* They had an original just called Battlestations. This game was awesome and so much fun. They deleted it (after buying it for like $3) and made this which is another $3. Plus this one I really dont like compared to the other. Ruined the game for me by deleteing the better game and upgrading it to a piece of crap like this. Dont buy cause they will probably make a third and do this all over again. ### 1/5 — Что за странная политика *2015-03-03* Добавили новый эпизод-это конечно здорово!но-как его купить отдельно?отдельно купить нельзя,только в составе пакета со всеми эпизодами.но у меня они и так куплены.вы предлагаете купить их еще раз?!серьезно?! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nota *2025-06-09* Increíble el juego, actualizar el juego pls ### 5/5 — Worth every dime *2024-05-18, version 2.0.2* So much fun, been playing for like 8 hours, wish there were some updates but still ### 5/5 — Good *2022-12-01* Very good ### 5/5 — One of my favourite games to this day *2020-01-07, version 2.0.2* Now I have played this game for 3+ years now and still do and honestly I just can’t really describe it, I haven’t paid for the other missions but I can’t find a reason to be bored of it. I have played the other games in the Battlevoid series and they are excellent equally as well definitely recommend trying them all out ### 5/5 — I love it! *2019-06-20* This is one the most entertaining games I’ve played on mobile, I just wish they’d update it with new things. Just can’t get enough. ### 5/5 — game *2018-10-28* it‘very good ### 5/5 — Game in development...... *2017-11-04* This shows promise, so many games these days are all glitter and shine but lack the polish of a gamers game made to provide fun and offer a challenge. These guys know what they’re doing, a rare thing and also a testament to how money driven, lacking in game knowledge, and devoid of integrity the big companies have become. I hope to see more, well done Bugbyte! ### 5/5 — What a delight! *2017-10-09* I stumbled across this game and installed it on a whim. Wow, it's super fun! I just bought the full content pack and I can't wait to battle all the new foes! ### 5/5 — Great game *2017-09-14, version 2.0.0* Awesome game ### 5/5 — Great game! *2017-06-29* Complex and well thought out, but is rather difficult even on easy. More credits and a way to upgrade defenses would alleviate this and help balance the game --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
