### 3/5 — It was fun

*2020-07-15*

I used to love this game on my older phones but it no longer works on any of them and he developer hasn’t updated it it boot. I think it’s a dead game.

### 3/5 — Great game, poor support!

*2018-09-23*

I loved this game but then - no support for iOS 11? What gives! I’m sure it’s not too difficult, but developers of this game (Joyfort) are known to be lazy. People spend lots of money on this game. Like $20,$40,$100 even $1000's of dollars but they give poor support.

### 4/5 — Good community

*2017-10-04, version 1.4.9*

Game has been good, images great lack of live graphics.
Nees an update to run on IOS 11, or dont bother

### 1/5 — I WAS excited

*2017-02-28*

I was very happy to find a new strategy game. Once I began to play, however, I was soon disappointed. I immediately spent money on the game and then lost all game data, twice. 

I suspect I'm not the only one to lose money on this game. Please for your own sake do not download this game.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2017-01-14*

Was better when it didnt forget data and turn u into someone else.

### 1/5 — Game not secure

*2017-01-08*

So game seemed kinda cool but then on the first day of playing after a few hours it logged me in to someone else's account, I was literally watching them play and could play on their account and spend their resources. So then I deleted the game and tried again the next day after reinstalling and it put me into a different persons account where I could spend all their resources. If I can do this then others would probably be logged into my account, it's ridiculous for a game that expects you to spend money to be so insecure. Consider yourself warned.

### 2/5 — Graphics

*2016-11-20, version 1.4.9*

I don't like the graphics

### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2016-09-22, version 1.4.9*

Game mysteriously erases all data for random amounts of people(like entire servers) every time there is an update. Customer service doesn't respond.

### 2/5 — Just like any other building games

*2016-09-22, version 1.4.9*

It's like Vikings war of clans or clash of clans or empire four kingdoms games like that

### 2/5 — Waste of time and money

*2016-09-18*

One day out of protection, after spending $15 and lots of hours leveling up (got as far as level 27)...now only prompted to create a new account, saying the old name is already in use...no option to login.

Tried uninstalling App and reinstalling, but same results--and little hope of timely support (after reading other reviews).  If this was simply a server going down, you'd think things would be back up and running within a few hours, but over 18 hours later???

I'm sorry I didn't do more research on this game, before even downloading it.

UPDATE:  ok, support came through...maybe lost a 2-3 days of gameplay.  It sounds like the login problem affected more than a couple people.  I'm continuing to play, but likely not spend any more money till I can see things are stable...also hoping I don't go through all kinds of leveling only to be knocked out of the game by a player with deep pockets.

### 1/5 — Mass account reset..?

*2016-09-17*

Woke up this morning to a brand new account, and on a completely different server, with tons of other players asking what happened to their accounts. If not reimbursed in game for the loss, that will spell the end of this app for many, many players.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2016-09-16, version 1.4.9*

I really wish I could sue you guys. I spent over 40$ on my account and I go to log in and my account is deleted. I'll be contacting a lawyers office.

### 2/5 — Mad

*2016-09-16*

This game was fun at first until it lost all my progress and I don't know why. All I did was go to my home screen to play another game while my buildings were upgrading to level 13 and when I came back it had lost everything I had done and I am so freaking mad and want my progress back please!

### 3/5 — Change might ranking to slayer ranking.

*2016-08-12*

On my server nobody fights, they're all to afraid to drop in rankings. People leaving left and right getting board. It's a good game when you can get something going. That's few a far between and getting more and more rare.

### 3/5 — Pretty decent (for now)

*2016-07-20, version 1.4.9*

I can only rate this game judging on a week max of playing it, but here are my main points:

The tutorial is the most disgusting thing I've seen in any game, ever. As practically 99% of other reviews complain about this, I won't go into too much detail. However, I will note that if you pay attention to the quest's description, it briefly explains your endless button clicking.

 You'll need to get a lot of info, strategies and tips from players and the wiki in order to progress in the game. This is probably the most important in the game, as these strategies can prove invaluable in a hostile environment where everyone is out to steal your stuff.

At the early stages, the build speed is actually very quick for a game like this, so, provided you have the needed resources, you can become fairly strong enough to challenge lvl 2 or even 3 bases in under 2-3 days of playing. This brings me to my next point.

I've made raiding the backbone of my play style, betting everything on successful plunders of other bases to quickly get me back on track in case someone stronger attacks and takes everything I own. And this will happen. A lot. Especially if you prematurely left the safety of your protection bubble (which I did). Be prepared to lose a lot of resources early in the game, but because of the quick build times you can just as easily make fleets to take resources from other bases.

Alliances are really nice to have, and it's great to have active players helping each other out inn times of need, and I recommend that you quickly join one. However, the whole alliances layout can get a bit confusing (no thanks to the awful tutorial) so feel free to ask players in the world chat or go to the wiki in search of answers.

This game is also essentially demanding that you put money into it, as there are some things that is impossible to get without real life currency. For example, currently you cannot get a second planet without spending real money on crystals, but I've heard this will be fixed soon, so hold on to your wallet.

This game is also tediously hard to grind through at some aspects, such as getting bigger fleets, hero levels, terraforming, and more. It requires a LOT of patience, and the only way to skip this part is by spending money. 

Overall, it's a pretty solid game with good gameplay and quick early build times to mask up a horrid tutorial and a long grind to progress in the later stages due to the game's insistence on you spending money

### 1/5 — Please click... Please click... DELETED

*2016-06-27*

When the tutorial is a tedious grind button clicker without intellect or merit... you need to fix your lousy game.

Now imagine for a second that a COMPETENT PROGRAMMER managed to ohhhh... SKIP THE ENDLESS CLICK NONSENSE and get to the game... where might we be? Possibly not deleting this game after the twentieth pointless forced-click-throughs.

### 3/5 — Good gameplay, but VERY slow to advance (Ruins the game)

*2016-04-12*

This game has good gameplay, but it takes FOREVER to level up or advance in any way in the game. Also, no matter how much you upgrade your planet, getting any modest sized fleet (say 1000 ships), is super hard due to pilots being hard to get. HOWEVER, the gameplay aside from those minor issues is excellent, and if you have the patience i say get the game, But for me, the slowness of advancing ruins the game.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2016-03-31*

I wish I could give half a star here.  A 7 year old game and there's glitch abusers everywhere.  How can you call yourselves game developers if you allow players to abuse the system?  I can understand if it was a new game, but 7 years?  You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Couldn't load the game at all

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2018-01-16, version 1.4.9*

It needs to be updated to work on iOS 11 please update it

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2017-10-30, version 1.4.9*

One click and I lost everything I had spent months building.  I can not log back into my user as it already exists.  Rubbish.  Waste of time.

### 1/5 — iOS 11.2 update?

*2017-10-12, version 1.4.9*

When are you guys going to update to the new iOS 11 version? I haven’t been able to login for over a week.

### 1/5 — Battles are boring

*2017-06-24, version 1.4.9*

Boring battles. Graphics not that good

### 1/5 — Sad,very sad

*2017-06-22, version 1.4.9*

This was once a great game but,has been hacked by a group of Russians that now have unlimited resources and the developers don't seem to care. Core group of veteran players are abandoning game and it will soon be a dead game.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2017-06-13, version 1.4.9*

This game has a lot of potential, but it need a lot of improvement. The game isn't secure and has bad graphics. Improve it a lot and I might think about reinstalling.

### 1/5 — Don't download

*2017-03-24, version 1.4.9*

This game made me restart twice and people were using the same base as me during the game. It was also buggy. I liked the game but I'm not restarting twice.

### 1/5 — This game sucks I broke my iPad over it

*2017-03-10, version 1.4.9*

I bought a new one just to write a review

### 5/5 — PLEASE

*2017-10-16, version 1.4.9*

CAN YOU PLEASE UPDATE IT. OMG PLEASE MAKE IT IOS 11 COMPATIBLE.

### 5/5 — Tutorial

*2016-09-21*

I'm doing 5 star so most people see this but the tutorial has a few problems like I can't claim a quest

### 5/5 — 5 star to get bonus only

*2015-10-27*

Two stars at best. Once you max out, you need to spend a lot of money or be super active, and hope you get lucky and earn enough stuff to upgrade. 

In comparison to other games, you get very little in return for what you spend.

### 5/5 — :)

*2015-09-23, version 1.4.9*

### 5/5 — Great Space RTS

*2015-03-28, version 1.4.5*

Downloaded this game on a whim looking for something space RTS. It's well laid out there is lots to do it's well priced, loads of ships,weapons, research, upgrades, planets and I've only played for one day so far. I stumbled upon an absolute gem. Great game.

### 5/5 — Diamonds  😎🍻💦🌴👙👍

Make more ships or add stronger ships to the game, after Ace ships we need more....😎🍻💦🌴⚡️

### 5/5 — Underrated

*2015-02-18, version 1.4.2*

This is a great game, most games I play for a short time but this seems to stick. Heaps of levelling and strategy. I rate it!
