### 4/5 — 4 years of playing.

*2026-08-12, version 2.0.6*

This game is an absolute gem. I have been playing for years and it never gets old. I wish the developers would come in and add a few more BEEFIER ships with more slots, another campaign map, and maybe about 6 new turrets. But the game is still a solid pierce of work, especially if you like a true real time space battle.


UPDATE 2026: still playing, needs to be updated. Greatest space top down on iOS hands down.

### 4/5 — Best space game for iPadOS but,,,

*2025-12-18, version 2.0.6*

I’ve accumulated over 1000 hours with this game, it is wonderful and the challenge in infinite rounds, seeing how far you can go truly shows how complex and interesting the game can be.  I would give 5 stars, but the game has not been maintained and there are issues on modern iPads running the latest OS where the game sounds will cluster and generate audio artifacts making game play very difficult. The only solution I have found is closing and re opening the app, or else the volume of the audio glitches becomes so intense it’s unplayable,  please fix this bug, bugbyte, you are our only hope.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game with Hours of Quality content

*2024-10-04, version 2.0.6*

Its an absolute gem of a game!

### 5/5 — 2nd time purchasing, this time on iPhone. Love, love, LOVE this game!

*2024-06-21, version 2.0.6*

A challenging well balanced strategy game.  

Many, many hours of replay ability.

### 3/5 — Needs a update

*2023-11-21, version 2.0.6*

The game is great but it now has not been updated in 6 years surely it is time for a major update like new ships new weapons if this happens will give 5* easily but such a shame it has just been left 💭

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-09-04, version 2.0.6*

I love the game it is truly a awesome game, but I am tiered of forgetting to play on endless so I make a big fleet get close to fully upgraded but the I kill the boss the net game is over so it is deleted. So I think that you should make a choice at the end so even if you kill the boss it will ask you if you want or continue on the map you are on, finish the game, or go to endless. Again I love your game it is awesome. Thank you very much.

### 5/5 — Genial

*2023-06-06*

Für Weltraumstrategen ein Traum. Ausgewogene Waffen und Upgrades, stimmungsvoller Sound, nicht überfrachtet. Macht einfach Spaß. Auch auf „easy“ schon sehr herausfordernd, dafür aber auch langer Spielspaß wenn man so nach und nach entdeckt, wie man am besten weiterkommt. Suchtspiel :-)

### 3/5 — Где обновления??

*2023-05-08*

Вы можете хотя бы разрешение завести для новых устройств? Я готов купить даже игру заново, как и многие другие.

### 5/5 — Star Wars version

*2023-04-27, version 2.0.6*

Bro, I love this game. i’m curious if y’all can make  a Star Wars the clone wars version of this game?

### 5/5 — Great tactical game !

*2022-12-09*

This is still one of the best sci-fi tactical game on mobile!

### 5/5 — Neverending fun

*2022-09-24, version 2.0.6*

Excelent game with many hours of fun

### 5/5 — PANDA Review

*2022-06-26, version 2.0.6*

Me like this old school beginner space wars. To escape of modern schools space wars guilds politics powerplays. Something like MMO2 (Master Of Orion2). Just without planets buildings. Just fleets.

### 5/5 — Truly great game Truly hard

*2022-04-13, version 2.0.6*

It is a difficult game but that’s why I like it. I keep picking this game up when I’m bored. Had it on Android and just bought it again for iPhone it’s that good. It is simple yet challenging. Not for everyone, you gotta like a challenge.

### 5/5 — Been playing for years

*2021-11-24, version 2.0.6*

Every time I play endless mode I go farther and farther, the only minuscule problem is that once you get past a certain point it becomes continuously harder with no new interesting features to back it up. The difficultly is good, even quite challenging but no new weapons or ships as you venture further. 
If y’all were to update it my suggestion would be to add weapons, ships and fighters that are extremely rare in the late game but are specifically designed to foil certain play styles. Since you would be so used to waltzing in and destroying everything, you suddenly being stopped in your tracks by one nemesis ship that has exactly what foils your fighter or range based strategy would switch up the game significantly. Probably a way to make nemesis ships actually terrifying enemies, but it’s an old game and you have new cool projects so I have no expectations for you to make new updates.

The game is legendary keep it up. 👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Reviewiswjis

*2021-11-23, version 2.0.6*

BEST GAME RTS EVER,imagine updates every month or weeks would make the game better

### 5/5 — Awesome, please update?

*2021-08-10, version 2.0.6*

This game is still a fun classic, idk if I'm just getting older or if most of the new app store games just aren't fun anymore. This still hits the spot after all these years.

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2021-08-06, version 2.0.6*

HARD TO

### 5/5 — Hidden gem of the app store

*2021-07-10, version 2.0.6*

Update - 2 years later and still one of the best games in the App Store.  Provides amazing depth with a truly simple interface.  I’ve seen some complaints that it’s too hard and that is fair, it IS hard.  If you are having trouble starting out, upgrade fighter bays early to provide more ships faster. Strategically, stick close to your base sectors for both easy repairs and easy fights with assists from the bases. Just be aware that each lost turn eats away your experience award at the end of the game.  

I've never seen this game featured and it's a shame. This is an amazing mobile game. It features compelling fleet management both tactically and strategically. The overall game has a rogue like feel. The mechanics are simple and easy to execute on a touchscreen. The strategic layer offers real choice in building, equipping and upgrading your small fleet. Tactical combat also offers real challenge as you maneuver for advantages and make critical targeting choices. Highly recommend.

### 1/5 — Жаль

*2023-01-01, version 2.0.6*

Ребята из этой лаборатории страдают садизмом, судя по всему. Очень классные игры делают. Графика, задумка. Прям хочется играть. Но как начинаешь игру и через пятнадцать минут понимаешь, что играть в них мучение. Получить удовольствие от процесса развития не возможно. Через 15 минута тебя убивают. Играть ооочень сложно.  Практически невозможно. И это каждая игра от этой студии. Купил две игры и все стер. 
Уважаемый разработчик, сделайте уровень сложности немного меньше или верните деньги за две игры

### 1/5 — Moron devs lol

*2022-03-02, version 2.0.6*

Its fun for 4 minutes or so but the balance is so bad its not entertaining in any sense if combat or exploration.

### 1/5 — Grind

*2020-08-13, version 2.0.6*

I paid for game not to take forever to get descent ship I have play 4 2days and unlocked one ship I mean come on I would pay to unlock them if there was a way but there I not games good but I’m uninstalling would of like to try to top ships but haven’t got 100 yr to play

### 1/5 — Шлак

*2019-08-07, version 2.0.6*

Игра-рандом, игра-рулетка. Если на последней точке 4 базы сразу, то это game over, без вариантов. Собираеш по немногу флот, проходиш несколько карт, а потом тупо сливаешся.

### 1/5 — Could be good with fixes

*2019-02-22, version 2.0.6*

It’s unbalanced, easy is too hard and too difficult to level up.  This isn’t s PC game you sink 100+ hours in, shouldn’t be so tough to level up to buy better ships and the ships are very weak.  It seems like you’re suppose to die and start over every few minutes, which is a first for a real time strategy game.  And cloud save is broken, wants a email and password?  Just use game center, that’s what it is for, or facebook or twitter or anything else.  If I could get a refund I would.

### 1/5 — Takes to long

*2017-11-23, version 2.0.3*

The enemy can hyperspace ahead of you. Whenever you fight and you go back to the space station. You are always hyper spaced nowhere near the space station.  When chased by the enemy.  Yet any other time you arrive next to it.  Ship movement speed is awful and slow.  As usual at the start you are given very little money to build the ship with. Remove the restrictions and make it more fun to play and not a boring grind.

### 1/5 — Why is half the game locked?

*2017-11-22, version 2.0.3*

I paid for the app what do I have to do to use it?

### 1/5 — Don't listen to the 5 star reviews

*2017-07-30, version 2.0.1*

The game is pn't engaging, confusing, and just plane boring.  The soundtrack is horrible, the story is lacking and th tutorial is just plain stupid.  Don't waste your time with this game, let alone your money.

### 1/5 — No,no,no, no!

*2017-06-03, version 2.0.1*

Thank god it's only 99p what a load of nothing.

### 1/5 — Save your money.

*2016-05-13, version 1.5.0*

Nice idea.  Game play is poor.

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2026-07-04, version 2.0.6*

I’ve been playing this for years. Fantastic game, can be played offline as well. Good level of depth without being too difficult to learn. I’m gutted the developers gave up on the game and didn’t continue adding more content.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-05-17, version 2.0.6*

Please add more ships

### 5/5 — Macht Spaß

*2026-05-09*

Ich hänge allerdings schon eine Weile in einem Level fest. Mir ist noch nicht klar was geeignete Waffen sind.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-12-27, version 2.0.6*

Leveling up is very tedious and I don’t even get a chance to buy new ships. The developers missed out on easy income.

### 5/5 — Needs level cap fixed

*2025-12-23, version 2.0.6*

Am level 21 but I can’t go any higher then that but the game is really good

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-11-20, version 2.0.6*

Over all one of the better games I’ve played

### 5/5 — Please Please Keep Updating This Amazing Game DEVS

*2025-09-10, version 2.0.6*

I Would Pay For Addons and I Not Sure If Game Centre Is Linking Correctly as I didn’t get any pop ups when going on this fantastic games Many Thanks

### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥

*2025-02-06, version 2.0.6*

The game is pure 🔥🔥🔥 just wondering if there will be an update some new ships of weapons?

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2024-12-27, version 2.0.6*

Loving this game - exactly what it should be and nothing more.  No micro transactions, simple top-down action, tactical and satisfying.  All the reasons why FTL is one of the best mobile games ever, this has all of the same simplistic yet challenging awesomeness.

### 5/5 — 4 years of playing.

*2024-11-14*

This game is an absolute gem. I have been playing for years and it never gets old. I wish the developers would come in and add a few more BEEFIER ships with more slots, another campaign map, and maybe about 6 new turrets. But the game is still a solid pierce of work, especially if you like a true real time space battle.
