Tired of the same problem

Been playing this for a while now. Have had the exact same issue since I started playing, doesn’t really matter what I am doing, the game constantly kicks me out. Certain things I have found, I can force the game to stop. Please check into this problem. Great game otherwise.

Such greedy garbage

It was a fun game to play but there are so many issues that the devs still refuse to fix.

Balancing: Damage numbers don’t make any sense and the bosses are spongy. There needs to be an indication that the player can read to show the power level of the boss. Also the combat has to be rebalanced so players don’t get stuck for days and/or weeks

Gacha drops: It doesn’t work since it barely benefits the player even when merging lesser abilities, equipment, and personnel. There’s no reason to spend money on this since the game is generous with tickets and diamonds. It doesn’t help you damage output enough anyways.

Bugs: One of the event login rewards keeps saying there’s an error with the server connection when there isn’t one. The interface has issues where it will activate the wrong menu. Server constantly errors your connection when defeating a boss which forces you to replay the boss fight!

It is clear to me that the devs are not going to do right by the playerbase here. If something doesn’t change soon, I’m quitting the game and never returning. Don’t believe the 5 star bot reviews and stay away from this trash!

Response from developer

Sorry it got bad enough that you stopped playing. Your thoughts on boss balance and how much merging is worth are with the team, along with the three issues you hit: the server error on the login reward, taking damage with no enemies around, and the wrong menu opening.

Such greedy garbage

It was a fun game to play but there are so many issues that the devs refuse to address.

Balancing: This is the worst thing since there’s no way to determine when you’re not powerful enough to fight the boss. Damage numbers don’t make any sense and the bosses are spongy. There needs to be an indication that the player can read to show the power level of the boss. Also the combat has to be rebalanced so players don’t get stuck for days and/or weeks

Gacha drops: It doesn’t work since it barely benefits the player even when merging lesser abilities, equipment, and personnel. There’s no reason to spend money on this since the game is generous with tickets and diamonds. It doesn’t help you damage output enough anyways.

Bugs: One of the event login rewards keeps saying there’s an error with the server connection when there isn’t one. There’s also a high chance of the player’s ship taking damage from no one and this is across all combat. The interface has issues where it will activate the wrong menu.

Obviously it needs a lot of work with quality of life features, bug fixes, combat balancing, and general fun level. I got sick of waiting for any fixes and quit. Best to avoid this trash and ignore the bot 5 star reviews.

Finally quit

It’s a fun game to play but there are so many issues that the devs have to correct.

There needs to be an indication that the player can read to show the power level of the boss. Also the combat has to be rebalanced so players don’t get stuck for days.

Gacha drops: It actually works since it benefits the player even when merging lesser abilities, equipment, and personnel. There’s no reason to spend money on this since the game is generous with tickets and diamonds. However, it doesn’t help you damage output enough anyways.
