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 ### 2/5 — Felt like a step backward *2017-09-11* This is the first non-freemium kairosoft game I've ever deleted because I didn't enjoy it. It sincerely felt like they took dungeon village and ninja village. Took one or two things that were fun, and packed it full of counterintuitive features. One only character, who's level rounds down, carries over. No other characters or their levels, buildings, tech research, or anything. The starting map is a mess and it takes a surprisingly long time to get any of the upgrades for removing the ridiculous amount of road blocks. Which also costs an unnecessary amount of money. Adding onto that, once you can clear stuff, you'll likely need to reorganize the chaos...unfortunately no rearrange tool. After you pay to remove everything, you have to destroy your buildings and repay for them. Every time. I can't recommend this one, unfortunately. Also a first for me and a paid kairosoft game. ### 2/5 — Crash after Crash after Crash *2016-10-20, version 1.1.1* This is a decent game, like most kairosoft titles it's pretty easy but fun. But I have experienced multiple crashes during battles and its just getting frustrating. I'm playing on my iPhone 6 and never had an issue with their other games either. Once this sorted I'd gladly up my rating but until it is fixed it will be 2 stars from me. ### 5/5 — Awesome little games *2016-07-29, version 1.1.1* When I say little I'm talking about the 8-bit looking graphics but otherwise these games are worth hours upon hours and great to kill time! ### 2/5 — I love this game but... *2016-07-15, version 1.1.1* I've been meaning to get to this game for a long time, and when I finally did I got very addicted (as I do with almost every Kairosoft game) but mid battle it will crash often. I'm stuck at a point where one battle keeps crashing, I can't get through it and I've tried literally a dozen times. I really hope they fix this, even though it is an older game at this point. I love Kairosoft and this is the first problem I've had with any of their games (I have played every single one of them and this is my first less than 5 star review). ### 2/5 — Game crashes on later iOS versions *2016-06-28, version 1.1.1* Somehow this game was updated in late 2015 but crashes towards the end of ever battle. ### 3/5 — Cute but crashing *2016-05-21, version 1.1.1* I bought this game last year or so and wanted to play it again. All was good until it constantly crashes in exploration areas making it impossible to continue. Shame ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2016-04-18, version 1.1.1* It's a really good game but I can't get anywhere if it crashes about 7 times each battle ### 2/5 — Game crashes *2016-02-17, version 1.1.1* The game crashes when I get into desert area with my people who wearing Bazooka, Drill and Power Suit 3 EVERY TIME. Pls make a update of it, thanks. ### 3/5 — My least favorite *2016-02-02, version 1.1.1* This is my least favorite kairosoft game. I never fell in love with it like I did the others. That being said, I have still played through it twice. All kairosoft games are amazing. So if you loved this game, or are thinking about it, check out all the other games they have! They are seriously my favorite. ### 4/5 — Good, but fix crashes *2016-01-19, version 1.1.1* I LOVE this game, I played it almost every day, but then the game crashed mid battle, I reloaded it and it happened again, plz fix ### 5/5 — Buy this! *2015-12-27, version 1.1.1* This my favourite Kairosoft game as it lends a different light to both space exploration and settlement building, but too Kairosoft games. These games always receive updates and any bugs are usually fixed quite promptly. Their games are always worth the money. ### 3/5 — Great game, totally hooked. *2015-12-01, version 1.1.1* But I've given it 3 Stars.. Playing it on the iphone6s plus. It plays beautifully but for some reason the on screen buttons do not respond first time and it takes a few presses to actually do something. What's also frustrating, as someone else posted, is that the game crashes during fight scenes. Meaning you have to start again with preparing and arming your troops. It would be good if it had game centre support with achievements too. But otherwise another addictive game from Kirosoft ### 4/5 — Love epic story *2015-11-18, version 1.1.1* Only problem is it crashes when you get to lower floors on he final level. ### 3/5 — Epic game BUT *2015-10-24, version 1.1.1* Great game I love it....But every time I get to a point were I have finished something the game crashes I mean I've just beaten a boss in a epic fight and the on the last hit it will crash I mean I love kairosoft but plz sort it guys. also bring out more games I love them to death!!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — unimpressed *2019-12-03* i want a refund ### 1/5 — Crashing *2016-05-29, version 1.1.1* I phone 6s, up to date OS; the game crashed right at the first or second battle at the pirate planet every time. This is very early in the game, do this essentially makes the game unplayable. ### 1/5 — Critical failure. *2016-01-29, version 1.1.1* Crashes randomly and permanently during battles. Reloading does nothing to avoid disaster. Inexcusable. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing on boss battles *2016-01-03, version 1.1.1* Usually love Kairosoft games and this was no different but this keeps crashing on boss battles, it's auto saved before the battle too so I've no way around it. Please sort this as I am very far into the game and cba starting again! ### 1/5 — Hated it. *2013-11-24, version 1.0.3* Unlike most of the other kariopark games, this one was boring and confusing. Also it was overflowing with annoying bugs. I feel like kariosoft could have done a much better job on this game. ### 1/5 — Scary pricing model *2013-09-21, version 1.0.3* $1 does not equal £1. Total and utter rip off, the devs should be ashamed by this blatent price gouging of all their uk customers. Ill never buy another game from this awful dev. Ever. ### 1/5 — 카이로중에 최악.... *2012-09-22* 게임하면서도 내가왜지금이걸하는지 생각할정도로 재미없엇던게임....카이로에 완전실망함.. ### 1/5 — 카이로 게임답지 않게 별로 재미 없음 *2012-07-23* 첫번째 할때부터 지루해지고 한번 엔딩보면 두번째는 정말 할게 없음 카이로소프트거 다른게임 하세요 ### 1/5 — Bugged *2012-06-17, version 1.0.3* When buying people if your out of funds it won't clear or back out ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — 5점 줘야 쳐 읽을것같아서 5점 줬다 *2019-10-01* 환불해주세요 겜이 안들어가지는데 어떻게 겜을 해요 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2019-08-25, version 2.03* Great game, fully recommended, played it for years and it never gets old, 10/10 recommend you download this game! ### 5/5 — worth it *2018-12-15* i lived this game as a kid and it’s been fun coming back to it, kairosoft makes the best mobile games!!! ### 5/5 — Great game. *2018-09-15, version 2.03* I used to play this game on my dads old iPod. That was in like 2010. It’s 2018 and I still love this game ### 5/5 — Astro *2018-07-18* I’ve had this game since I was 4 and everytime I forget about it and come back to it, it is so much fun. ### 5/5 — Love this game!!!! *2018-02-14* Even years later I still play this game over and over. I really wish they were still making games like this one and Dungeon Village and the Mall Cruise ship ones instead of all the freemium games they’re doing more of. Even though this game is older it’s still great and has lots of replay value and humor as it is a spoof on Star Trek. Very cute, very fun. I love Kairosoft Pay Once and play Forever style games. Please release more of them again! ### 5/5 — 와 대박 한글패치안나와서 환불요청할래ㅛ는데 딱나오넹 *2018-01-22* 굿굿굿 ### 5/5 — 한글감사합니다.. *2018-01-22* 완전 좋아하는 게임중 하나인데 이겜은 조금 인기가 없어서 한글 안될줄알았어요ㅠ 너무 기쁘네요 카이로게임 더 열심히 살게요!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
