### 1/5 — One of the worst ones from Kairosoft

*2026-03-17*

I’ve played all Kairosoft games and this one is among the worst ones. So many bad designs: Residents AI are so dumb and always not smart enough to produce at factory, explorations are extremely slow and tedious keep asking for additional $ and turning back upon a single guest, and only 1 allowed at a time. Very Disproportional cost on explorations, a level 10 explorer has about 20% added stats but it cost over 10 times to use when exploring. When changing skills, it goes back down to skill level 1, kinda stupid no one can afford to change skills at all. Alien visitors keep buying raw materials and hinders production of goods, and there’s no way to stop it. Very random costs on inviting guests to join, while the 2 may have similar stats, both at level 1, same skills, one could cost just 60 research points and another one is 999 points. This game is so unplayable don’t even bother

### 3/5 — There are better kairosoft games

*2024-02-13, version 2.13*

I’ve played almost all of kairosoft’s games and this one falls in the low-mid tier. There are no annual rewards for your planet, the exploration of new planets takes forever, the relationship with other planets also take forever to develop. The only good thing is the combat

### 5/5 — Top Spiel

*2023-04-04*

Macht richtig Spaß. Ist durchdacht und macht süchtig. Absolute Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — Man...

*2019-12-17, version 2.03*

When was the last time any of these were on sale????

I’ve already bought most of them on android and I really am not about to pay $5 each for the whole library after that.

### 1/5 — unimpressed
