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.

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.

殖民地中的建筑不能建造

殖民地中的几个建筑放到空地上面后、没有出现建造的动作,一返回就没有了。这个需要什么操作技巧吗?还是有什么其他条件?

Work in progress

So far the “tutorial” seems incomplete and the HUD and overall layout isn’t very intuitive for beginner gamers. Lots of room for improvement.

Just don’t do any “in-game” purchases just yet.

Response from developer

Sorry for the slow reply. Thanks for the 5 stars, and for being upfront about what didn't click. Hearing that the tutorial and HUD are hard to follow when you're new is really useful, and it's with the team now.

P2P(pay to Pay!)

Another game that has no end and no real benefit to the paying. Gave it the obligatory three weeks, spent some money and ended up with a Nerf account basically. DON’t GET THE LASERs!!! there are many little pitfalls that having to either pay your way out of or sit at the same level for eternity. Was ok at first has good graphics quick gameplay, if you pay the few bucks to lose the ads. But there is a constant need to fork out money to continue to the next great thing until the lasers….

Response from developer

Sorry for the slow reply. Three weeks is a real go at it, so it's a shame it ended with you feeling stuck after the laser choice, especially after spending money. What you said about the lasers, and about feeling you have to keep paying to move forward, has been passed on.

Убийца аккумулятора

Игра нормальная, но 16 макс про моментально нагревается и разряжается. Оптимизируйте пожалуйста приложуху

Хот пот

Игра нравится, много активностей, но очень сильно нагревает устройство, в центре яблочка прям ощутимо больше 60-ти градусов!

The game crashes a lot

I like the game but it begun to crash a lot on IOS

No forced ads

Not sure why the other review said there’s forced ads? There’s none. My only suggestion is to make all the shops accessible from one menu.

Response from developer

Thanks for chiming in, and glad you're enjoying the game! A single menu for all the shops is a great idea. We'll pass it along to the team.

Fun but a bit of a grind for idle

Great visuals, fun progression, lots of satisfying jumps in power. Only draw back, and it is in my view a big one, is about a week or so in, you will find you are waiting longer and longer to get enough materials to level up and upgrade, you hit a wall, it is then a case of every day logging in and gathering resources enough to level up tech/craft/etc. Despite this I have played it every day since I got it.

Good game but

Was pretty good but the rock paper scissors event is awful. If that's all the creativity the devs have left then I'm not long to continue playing the game.

Все Гуд

Пока все отлично

Mon avis

C’est sympa, un peu frénétique
Nice game, a bit fast

Guano

🤮

You almost had me.

I started the game and it was decent. Decent graphics and a good feel. Never mind the several small bugs and graphical glitches like your cursor flashing an inch away from your finger when you tap.

I played for a few days. A new event popped up. It was giving me the summon currency readily for the event. Then suddenly I realized I was stuck at around 29k for a bit. What do you know? I need 30k to summon.

Then, I’m going along and do the raids up to about 16. Your typical “raid” content. Suddenly I realized the auto
advance thing had turned off. I expected a new feature to open like it had done previously. WRONG. Now every time I want to do a raid I get to watch an add. It takes about 8 seconds to do a raid and the max is 45 seconds or you fail. One of the ads was at least 2 minutes. So you’ll be watching ads MORE than playing the game. Unless you buy the pass to not watch ads which is readily available lol.

Speaking of passes, this game has more battle passes than I’ve ever seen in a game. I could probably buy 5 or 6 passes right now. It’s crazy.

This game seems very predatory and tempts you with $1 packs so you’ll spend at least something.

There is so much more I could write. I was hoping this was going to be a good game. It’s not. Also, the new update made everything way too hard. It becomes a slog too early.

A shame.
