The concept of this one gives you more control of the battle then harbinger but the graphics and gameplay are nothing compared to battlevoid harbinger. I hope that this game gets a facelift or harbinger gets a game mode like sector siege with its graphics or a sandbox mode which would be incredible ### 3/5 — Please Fix it!!! *2019-04-10* In truth I guess you just can’t expect much for a few dollars, at least it’s not a pay to play game that you sink $20 or $40 bucks into... The game has a nice little concept and I do see what there trying to do but After staring on the intermediate level and getting destroyed very quickly and when I mean very quickly less than an hour worth of gameplay. I tried a few more games and gave of and dropped it down to beginner level and experience the same results. That’s Just nuts!! In the game You’re limited to how many battle stations you can build and ships you can build and you can’t do research and upgrade weapons fast enough to hold back The hordes and hordes and waves and waves of enemy ships. Now Why would someone come up with a game and thought that someone would continually put up with be destroyed over and over and over and you just keep playing? Now supposedly the more you stick with the game the better weapons,ship classes you unlock and I get that in some crazy way but after constantly getting whipped where in the world is the fun in that! Game balance needs lots of work. **Developer response:** Hey! The game can be hard indeed. There are a few pointers that will help you win the game. * Be sure to allocate all available crew members to Scientists, Marines, Pilots and Engineers in the beginning, to have the limits of ships and stations be higher. * Important! Build 2-3 ships fast in the beginning and try to capture 3 capture points as fast as you can. This will give you a good start with resources. Every capture point gives resources with time, so if the enemy gets too many of them without you having any there will be a big discrepancy in resources acquired! Hope this helps. ### 3/5 — Ok *2019-02-21* It’s too repetitive and hard! Enemies get tougher but the research tree resets every time so you have to start from scratch but there’s not enough time to get strong enough! If they changed that the game would be better! ### 3/5 — Could be good with fixes *2019-02-19* It’s unbalanced, easy is too hard, 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. 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. ### 4/5 — Ангары *2019-02-07* Можно ли увеличить количество ангаров, хотяб на 5-10 и в каждом ангаре минимум 3 беспилотника чтоб было , то только по два эт очень мало, чтоб была возможность уничтожить всех противников не отправляя корабли в атаку) будет интересней держать всю карту одними беспилотниками , только после увеличение максимальног количество ангаров хотяб на 5 будет 5звезд ### 4/5 — Great but could do more *2019-01-14* I have played the battlevoid game before and while that one had a wide vaierity of weapons and ships this game has all that aswell but it feels a bit lackluster at start as there is almost everything locked besides the most basic stuff. Maybe giving the player enough points to unlock a tech or two could ease that out a bit at the start of the campaign. Otherwise it is a good strategy game for mobile. ### 3/5 — Great potential *2018-11-20* But the repetitive nature of each map is frustrating - I don’t bother unlocking any more weapons as there simply isn’t enough time in each game to research any more. I usually go for a plasma turret that’s better against hulls and then hull repair drones. Researched weapons should be available in each game, though should take longer to attain. ### 4/5 — No icloud saving *2018-10-09* Please add regular icloud saving for 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Ok... *2017-12-27* The games ok, well worth the price tag. It doesn’t feel like as much effort has gone into this as the previous titles though which is a real shame. The Tech tree resetting each battle is frustrating, I would much prefer a longer tech tree with unlocks being perm. Overall still worth the price though :) ### 5/5 — Bugbyte rules!!! *2017-11-24* This game is not recommended, It is SUPER recommended !!! Not only Battlevoid but also Harbringer are a total Success!!! These games are the definition of space tactical gaming apps, please to not hesitate to try it out, it's absolutely nice and updates&new ships are steadily incoming. This game showed me that the developers that really care about gaming have not given up on us space theme lovers Greets Famez ### 4/5 — Great but also frustrating *2017-11-23* This is an amazing game! A little more confusing than the last, especially at first, but there is so much that has been added here. It is so much more tactical than Harbinger. Definitely worth the cost. Excellent work devs! Edit: I have played the game more now, and I don’t think that the extra weapons that you can get through the research should be a part of the research tree. They should be available at the very beginning of the round, since each round involves essentially starting from scratch. It basically results in you spending all your time just to get the third weapon of a research tree, rather than actually upgrading your fleet ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horribly disappointing *2020-01-01, version 1.43* I wish this was good. It looks like it should be. It's not. It's not fun. It's repetitive and boring. Every once in a while I play it again because I really want it to be good. It disappoints me every time. Spare yourself. ### 1/5 — This is a “grind” game - be prepared to restart the game ALL the time *2019-10-27, version 1.43* First, the syncing must be done through the developer web server (instead of iCloud), but the syncing failed all the time so I kept losing my games. Second, at the normal or hard mode, be prepared to restart the game often. There will be times where at the start of the game (first few minutes), you have enemies with TEN (10) strong ship coming at you and you WILL lose. So you have to restart and hope the next game will have “easier” enemies. If you ever play any RTS game, you know this is near impossible to win unless you keep trying and trying with the hope the game algorithm will give you a break. To put this into context: Imagine playing Starcraft and in the first 5 minutes, you have 10 Protoss Carriers with all upgrades coming at you. You will lose. You can try this: play a Skirmish with a CPU on yours side. You’ll notice that the CPU can build 5-10 ships in a few minutes while you’re stuck with just a couple. The CPU definitely have the advantage. Some people may enjoy this game, but definitely not for me. ### 1/5 — Great! (for about 15mins) *2018-08-01* The gameplay is fun and captivating until you start your second mission and realize that your research in the tech tree doesn’t carry over, the ships are all the exact same (often with the cheaper ships being better!), there’s no discernible difference between enemies and you’re fundamentally replaying the same mission over and over and over and over. I love RTS (especially Sci-fi) and I gave this game a chance. I played it for a considerable length of time but I regret to say if you’re looking for an engaging RTS on iOS...this isn’t it. Sorry. I know I am. ### 1/5 — Dull and unbalanced *2018-07-08* This is a remarkably boring game. Make a jump, fight enemy, repeat. I just gave away the entire plot. All the enemy’s look the same and the environments offer little to make things interesting. There is no save feature so you have to start from scratch each time you play which would be fine but it takes a long time to get enough money to buy anything. Basically, this sad excuse for space combat is slow paced, offers no variety, and takes forever...I’m talking several hours...to turn your useless ship into something worth using and you can’t save it. This game is really bad. One of the worst I’ve played. Save your money. **Developer response:** Sorry you felt that way! Are you sure you did not miss the purpose of capturing a lot of capture points fast? They generate resources every second. The more you have of them the faster you will acquire resources to build. Shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to have a fleet of 3-4 ships, especially on easy. ### 1/5 — 前作とは別物 *2017-12-06* 期待していただけ残念です。 爽快感も緊張感も消えてしまいました。 ### 1/5 — Not as good *2017-12-03* The first game was brilliant and really looking forward to this edition. Game has confusing controls and repetitive and wish they updated the first game instead ..won’t be using this edition that much Update 3rd dec game was deleted and will be staying with the original battlevoid **Developer response:** Sorry you felt that way! We will try to improve the game with time. 1 star feels really harsh though. Hard to make sequels if the game is immediately 1 star if it is not as good as the previous, instead of just being a few stars. Puts immense pressure on us :( ### 1/5 — Not as good as harbinger *2017-10-31* The gameplay is repetitive. Upgrades are limited and make no difference to success or failure. Round ends suddenly and you've lost your upgrades and research progress and have to begin all over again. You spend a good portion of the game building everything up only to have it wiped out. And what's with the annoying and unnecessary delegation of men at the start of each round? "Well done commander... we knew you could clear this sector. Now... in order to be fair to the enemy in the next sector, we're going to disregard all the research you completed in the last sector and take away your ships and amassed credits and make you start from scratch." Can't complain about the price though but after harbinger this game was a let down. I was expecting great things but after playing for only a few hours I'm bored with it. Sorry bugbyte but this is not good. In reply to developers response... starting from scratch every round is what killed it for me, along with 50 tappity taps delegating men at the start of each round. I thought the feedback might be useful. Looking forward to the updated version. **Developer response:** Sorry you felt that way, we can try to improve the game with time! Rounds may be perceived to end suddenly if you are playing wave defense mode and the enemy has sent all waves, or if playing attack mode then the enemy base was destroyed by another alien faction or black hole. Edit: We understand, we will try to improve with time. We always try to make games as fun as possible but it's a challenging task. 1 star feels very harsh :( ### 2/5 — Sehr flach.. *2020-02-11* Den Vorgängerbewertungen kann ich mich beim besten Willen nicht anschließen. Ist ein Weg gefunden die erste Mission zu Überstehen und eine anständige Raumstation freizuschalten sind alle Missionen absolut gleichförmig. Von Strategie oder Abwechslung keine Spur. Hatte für den Preis und den Bewertungen absolut mehr versprochen. Keine Empfehlung. Nach dieser Abzocke verspüre ich auch wenig Lust die „Zusatzmodule“(natürlich auch kostenpflichtig) auszuprobieren. ### 2/5 — Не очень *2017-12-28* Harbinger более динамичный . В этой игры что то сделали с физикой или анимацией , корабли стали неповоротливыми.Бои не интересные . Сильно урезали движок игры по сравнению с Battlevoid: harbinger.Ждём harbinger. ### 2/5 — Love harbinger *2017-11-14* My favourite part of harbinger is the discovery and the weapons, I feel like I can evolve. This games weapons and tech tree are far to simple that it’s simply boring and monotonous, I feel zero discovery here. I don’t mind restarting every mission, but I do if there’s nothing new to discover. Can we have the weapons from harbinger at least, and a persistent meaningful tech tree. Edit: Found what your talking about in the research tree, but that is nowhere near enough weapons to keep me invested really. I can play harbinger for like 6 hours straight and not mind restarting as it has so much to explore and lots of combinations to play around with. My rating still stands at the moment I’m afraid, just not enough to keep my attention span invested for any length of time compared to harbinger and other games in the iOS store. I will keep my eyes on future updates though and up my rating if things evolve more. Thank you for replying. **Developer response:** Edit: They are in the research trees, scroll the research menu to right. Unlock from star map "unlockables" button. Most Harbinger turrets are there, plus completely new ones! We will add more with time. Pretty much all the weapons from Harbinger are there, or should be :) Or are you talking about the alien versions? We will add more with time. Thanks for the feedback! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2023-06-23* Spannende Weltraumschlachten für den kleinen Strategen. Macht Spass. ### 5/5 — It’s the best strategy game available *2020-02-21* It has some flaws (like the tech tree), but there really isn’t a better real time strategy game for iPhone. Because of the lack good real time strategy games for iPhone - I give it 5 stars ### 5/5 — Quite fun *2019-09-15* I enjoy playing this game on the iPad. It is quite difficult starting out, but once you push through it and figure it out - it is very fun. Quite satisfying to blow up ships. ### 5/5 — An idea I have *2019-06-03* Love the game lots of fun to play, but I wish you could have multiplayer on it. Me and my friend would love to play against each other, if you can do that would be fantastic! Great game keep doing what you do! ### 5/5 — Please read!!!! *2018-05-20* I love this game to bits love it! But it’s so hard easy mode come on I get obliterated 7 ships 7 all armed to the teeth I can’t get past you’d think you’re up a heroic same with call to arms the ai is brutal!!!! Edit: got past 2 levels. thought I was getting better then the unknown attacked and demolished me. I think you should be attacked by low tier enemy’s eg troglodytes and shillea. And now threat level 3 to get it back come on and they launched another and threat level 3 again!!! Edit: thanks! **Developer response:** Hi! The Unknown are the toughest opponent by far. Try a strategy where you head out quickly to capture some points. Build 3 Phoenixes in the beginning and immediately take 3 to 4 points, this will give you better resource generation from the get go. It's important to get a good start and prevent the opponent from capturing a lot of points.

This is a great game however I’m only giving it three stars because for the majority of new people the settings for the game are way too hard. Easy is between what I would consider normal and hard. You’re constantly been attacked in different places at the same time. Have experience playing the other games from Battlevoid series. But this is way too hard for most casual gamers. However those wanting a difficult challenge or have had some experience playing the other games might enjoy this one. I recommend you start out on the easy setting and unlock some of the technology before you move on to harder settings! Update: There had obviously been some work done on this. I think the difficulty level is about right now. But still most people will probably want to start out on easy and unlock some items before moving on to a harder setting. I’m currently on medium difficulty setting. That seems about right for me. Well done to the developers for sticking at it and making some welcome improvements! ### 5/5 — Great Game. *2018-03-09* I have played all the games that you guys have put out. I enjoy this one the most. I do appreciate all the hard work you put into these games. I hope that you don’t quit with the updates. Some ideas- add an upgrade or another battle station that we can play, allow us to play other races and their ships, and add more ships and stations overall. Thanks again for the time spent on development. Keep it up. **Developer response:** Thank you for the encouraging words!

Once I got used to the aggressive rts style it was a lot more fun. However, the unlocks and progression trees are arguably not balanced, neither are the ships. Some upgrade trees end in units that are on the same level of the starting line-up. I don't think many players would mind if the game had a big update rearranging or buffing certain research trees. Still, great premium mobile RTS. Not sure it had any real competition that isn’t a money pit. ### 5/5 — К РАЗРАБОТЧИКАМ *2017-12-26* Уважаемые разработчики, я поставил авансом 5 звёзд в надежде на то что вы будите развивать игру. Игра хорошая и безусловно стоит своих денег, по этому если кто в раздумьях то покупайте не пожалеете. Теперь о том как на самом деле должна выглядеть эта игра и надеюсь что разработчики хоть в каких то моментах прислушаются. 1. МИССИ: Ребят они однотипны, что атака, что защита, все банально, да и вообще все поля абсолютно однотипны, захват точек, произвольные нештатные ситуации (слишком однообразно и плохо реализовано, МЕТЕОРИТЫ - отдельная тема: ЧТО, серьёзно сложно было нарисовать нормальный метеорит из КАМНЯ, а не из газа??? Вы серьёзно?!) 2. СКОРОСТЬ: мне правда жалко тратить своё время пока В УСКОРЕННОМ режиме мой корабль долетит до места, игре нахватает ДИНАМИКИ!!! Не бойтесь ее добавить, увеличьте скорость кораблей раза в 2-3 и их маневренность при поворотах 3. РАССЫ: а чем они отличаются? Кроме так себе дизайном??? СХАЛЯВИЛИ - признайтесь, добавьте вы разнообразия, пусть будут отличаться по вооружению, маневренности, агрессии, ведению бою, не можете сами придумать ГОТОВ БЕЗВОЗМЕЗДНО ПОМОЧЬ. Но правда ребят скучно и однообразно 4. ВООРУЖЕНИЕ И УЛУЧШЕНИЯ: Зачем такое больше дерево технологий если за игру просто невозможно прокачать больше 2х веток, а невозможно по тому что ты заканчиваешь игру раньше. Ускорьте пожалуйста. Так же стало невозможно менять местами оружие в кораблях. 5. ОСТАЛЬНОЕ: - Если я захватил точку и на неё нападают почему я начинаю с НУЛЯ? Ну что за глупость, опять все сводится к отсутствию разнообразия геймплея. - отличная идея с сохранением Настройки корабля! НО ПОЧЕМУ НЕЛЬЗЯ ПОЙТИ ДАЛЬШЕ!!! Все миссии однообразны и почему нельзя сохранить настройку из-миссии в миссию? Или вы думаете я изменю корабль??? НЕ УДОБНО! - МАЛО ОРУЖИЯ: в предыдущих сериях игры было как то по живее и динамичнее, тут вы это потеряли. - ДИСАНТ: идея хорошая - РЕАЛИЗАЦИЯ КАК ВМЕГДА ХРОМАЕТ. У меня флот летит, ну не буду НЕ УДОБНО его отключать чтоб захватить корабль, по сути не нужный механизм!!! - КОРАБЛИ: фрегат за 15 000 + оружие и того под 17 000. Я полагаю что это должен быть реальный фрегат, с БРОНЁЙ, с вооружением который должен стоить своих денег и ОТРАБАТЫВАТЬ ИХ!!! В по факту СЕЙЧАС это дорогое не нужное ВЕДРО! Быстрее и дешевле создать 3 кораблям по 3800 и от них толку и огневой мощи будет больше!!! НЕ ПРОДУМАН БАЛАНС!!! Он либо не должен стоить столько, либо он должен быть практически не убиваем, НА ДАННЫЙ МОМЕНТ НЕТ СМЫСЛА ЕГО СТРОИТЬ, так как миссию ты успеешь пройти быстрее без него! Какой в нем толк??? P.s. Если не что пишите)))) **Developer response:** Спасибо за огромное количество отзывов! ### 5/5 — Very good RTS game!!! *2017-11-29* A lot of depth, procedurally generated campaign for great replay-ability, slower pace so its not too stressful, lots of strategy!! Great game!!! Please keep making games as good as this!!!! **Developer response:** Will definitely do our best! :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
