### 3/5 — Gut aber zu langwiedrig

*2022-08-04*

Cooles design ...oft zu langatmig aber gut...

### 3/5 — -

*2020-02-21*

Не оптимизировано под 11 айфон, изображение в половину экрана!

### 3/5 — Brilliant but.......

*2019-05-17*

Brilliant game but would like to have the margin to fit the iPhone X models

### 3/5 — Pas clair...

*2019-05-02*

Les règles ne sont pas claires et les renseignements dans le jeu n’existent pas. On joue donc un peu au hasard, et du coup, même en facile, on se fait aligner de nombreuses fois, avec les « Recommencez » qui se suivent. Il faudrait se taper les pages du site, et il y a de quoi lire ! Cependant, le jeu est plaisant : Peut-être que je suis un peu nul, je vais insister.

### 5/5 — Супер

*2018-08-11*

Не хуже Warhammer 40K Armageddon

### 5/5 — Успех

*2018-07-14*

Жду новую кампанию, продолжение или новую историю этой команды. Раскройте дальнейшую судьбу каждого персонажа в виде кампании.

### 2/5 — More tedium than fun.

*2018-07-07*

War of attrition. While that is a type of strategy, it’s tedious and boring. Game continually shows things you can’t do until next turn. Shouldn’t be designed like that that I can see.

### 3/5 — So unity, so cross-platform

*2018-06-02*

It asks me to use left mouse button on my iPhone. It is on THAT level of refinement

### 5/5 — Приятная игра на несколько дней

*2018-05-08*

Интересный сюжет, большое количество юнитов и их прокачки, следовательно, масса тактик для прохождения уровней. Планируется дополнение? Новая расса, пара новых планет? А то в конце ввели персонажей, которыми толком и не поиграть было, только сюжетные миссии.

### 5/5 — Excellent TBS

*2018-04-26*

Is having a blast playing this game. It’s an excellent X-COM-like TBS that draws on Warhammer 40K, Supreme Commander and the likes. The units are interesting and missions can be very engaging.

The only serious downside is the maps. These can be very same-y (some are exact copies of other locations with different enemy units so require a slightly different tactics). 

Another issue is balance. Some units are insanely OP, while some are not useful at all. 

Overall, it’s a great strategy game that you can sink hours in.

### 5/5 — Excellent !

*2018-02-28*

Ce jeux est vraiment très très bon. Il associe une base de stratégie au tour par tour à des éléments de RPG bien pensés et bien écrits (il y a une vraie histoire avec des personnages intéressants) et de la gestion. Même si c’est linéaire on se régale en découvrant les personnages principaux les uns après les autres. L’IA est assez forte en mode normal et je n’ai pas essayé en difficile mais ça peu certainement être un challenge pour les joueurs les plus chevronnés. Le côté gestion est assez cool car il faut savoir choisir entre les upgrades du fait des ressources limitées et des attaques incessantes de l’ennemi... chapeau aux développeurs ! Et merci pour les heures de plaisir.

### 1/5 — Нет миссий

*2020-11-23*

Пропали миссии и нечего делать дальше, почти начало игры!а так затянуло, исправьте ошибку

### 1/5 — Забили ...

*2020-11-21*

Совсем забросили игру, последнее обновление 3 г назад

### 1/5 — How about a tutorial that actually explains how to play?

*2020-11-20*

Instead of just telling you what to do. How do I get a unit to move or attack an enemy? You tell me WHAT to do, you just don’t tell me HOW to do it.

### 1/5 — Not iPhoneX/XS/11 compatible!

*2020-01-15*

The game doesn’t scale the iPhone X/XS/11 screen so we play in a very small surface with an outdated interface. Get the update done!

### 1/5 — Frechheit!

*2019-10-20*

Nach der Rettungsmission des Kanzlers geht nix mehr – und das jetzt schon seit Release! Kein Update, kein Bugfix, nichts! Neu installieren hat auch nichts gebracht. Könnte man fast schon als Betrug bezeichnen ein Spiel raus zu bringen welches nicht wirklich funktioniert... 😡

### 1/5 — Nicht lustig

*2019-09-16*

Die KI ist unterirdisch, bescheisst dafür aber.
Der Gegner baut fröhlich einheiten obwohl er gar keine AP hat. Nicht nur das er baut die Einheiten auch noch direkt bei den eigenen Basen.
Der Gegner hält sich weder an Zuglimits noch sonst was.
Der komplette Kampf sind harte Skripten.
Sowas war vielleicht noch in den 90 er ok, aber nicht mehr heute.
Vor allem kann man nicht mal abspeichern.
Man muss also so oft von vorn neu anfangen bis man das Skript des Gegners auswendig kann.
Das ist einfach kein gutes Spiel.

### 1/5 — Fehler

*2018-11-20*

Gleiches Problem wie andere Nutzer: Nach zwei Missionen gibt es keine weiteren zur Auswahl. Sehr enttäuschend, dass das über ein Jahr nicht repariert wurde.

### 1/5 — Can't even complete the tutorial

*2018-08-18*

The tutorial includes things like click with your mouse on the first screen. And gives so little info on how to play that one cannot even complete the tutorial.

### 1/5 — Game hangs

*2018-06-07*

This game is so close to getting 4 stars.

I’m on an iPad Pro.

The gameplay is good, the plot is ok and I enjoyed what I played, however the game keeps seemingly loosing track of what it is doing and the c
‘Cut scenes’ that should occur after missions just.... don’t. You are then just left sitting the with infinite time to burn and no way to progress.

But is a waste of money as a result.

### 1/5 — I don’t get it!!!

*2018-02-10*

I enjoyed the game for the first couple minutes but then it was stuck and i had nothing to do. No battles. It’s like they only made a demo of the game

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра в AppStore

*2020-01-17*

+1 положительный отзыв в копилку довольно занятной игры. Да, за 749 деревянных немногие возьмут, но по скидке вы получаете ИГРУ, а не донатное недоразумение.

### 5/5 — An imperfect 5-star game

*2019-10-26*

Excellent hex turn based strategy game in the style of old Nectaris, with a LOONG single player campaign and a story that starts out Dune then takes a sudden turn to become Star Trek: Voyager. 

(Nectaris is like Great Little War, but in space.)

Having just finished it on Normal, I can say it’s definitely worth the couple of dollars. 

There’s a good variety of units and maps, lots of unit customization options and the story makes the focus of the game change frequently, so you never have time to relax and get bored. 

The only gripes I have are:

I bit of rough translation in the dialogue. 

The controls can get a bit rough when the isometric view overlaps with buttons/targets, so you have to be VERY careful and zoom to move them. 

The main currency trickles in so slowly and is used in so many activities that all other resources pile up and become unusable and you’re forced to do a lot more grinding of defense levels while it collects. 

Those defense missions do get a bit repetitive after a while. 

The AI can be REALLY dumb ignoring flying units sneaking through to snipe its HQ. 

Sometimes moving 1HP units around the map, especially to capture a city makes them inexplicably explode. Are there land mines? Potholes? Thumb tacks?? So you have to reset and use a more durable unit for not reason. 

When clearing a planet you have to be VERY careful not to tap on another planet’s province, even just to check the travel time, as this instantly takes your ship back into orbit and takes many hours to get back to where you were a second ago. So it’s better to clear a planet fully and lose a few provinces on another planet than try to hop between planets to defend them.

Other than that, it’s a fantastic game.

### 5/5 — Молодцы!

*2019-09-08*

Продолжения! Аддонов! Новеллизаций! И не дай бог не сможете обновить под новый ios!

### 5/5 — So much fun！

*2019-07-18*

Please release additional content or sequel！！！

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-06-27*

Finally, a really good turn based sci-fi game with a bit of grunt and a challenging A.I. Get it

### 5/5 — Absolutely loved it

*2018-11-18*

A great mix of base building, research, unit upgrades, and tactical missions. Unexpectedly clever system for action points that gave me a real challenge. 
Great potential for sequels. I’d certainly pay for expansion packs or next chapters.

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2018-08-31*

Все понравилось! Хотелось бы продолжение истории!

### 5/5 — Great turn based strategy game

*2018-08-22*

Loved it. Too bad game offers only a campaign/story mode and no custom scenarios/ random maps/multiplayer versus mode. To be continued/upcoming update?

### 5/5 — Молодцы!

*2018-08-14*

Отличная игра, хороший баланс. Лучшее из пошаговых стратегий для мобильных, главное без рекламы и доната, что сейчас редкость.

### 5/5 — Игра как на пк

*2018-08-12*

Игра интересная, довольно необычная, а главное, совсем как на пк: ни доната, ни рекламы, сейв-лоад...
Однако не повредил бы функционал лорда. Какие-нибудь указы, дающие плюсы и минусы, параметр лояльности населения (низкий заставит области бунтовать, высокий увеличит количество продукции и будет шанс на получение техники во время битв, например), ну и герб выбирать конечно было бы неплохо, а то не ощущается что играешь за лорда, просто рандомный игрок с базой. Остальное на высшем уровне
