You won't be able to play

Netease has clear rules governing how many accounts someone can operate. You agree to these ToS every time you login. However Netease unevenly enforces this rule. I have been systematically harassed and bottled up by a single person operating a series of accounts with emulators. Netease can't keep up with player cheating and you won't be able to play the game

Horrible experience for free-to-play users / Too many restrictions

As a free-to-play (F2P) player, this game has become incredibly frustrating and almost impossible to enjoy. NetEase has put way too many strict limitations on non-paying users. If you don't spend a massive amount of real money, you are blocked by endless restrictions at every turn, making it feel like a chore rather than a game.
On top of the heavy paywall, the overall user experience is ruined by a bunch of terrible and clunky operations within the game system. The mechanics feel poorly optimized, and it’s clear that the developers only care about milking paying customers instead of maintaining a balanced and smooth environment for the general player base. They seriously need to lift these unfair restrictions and fix these awful operational flaws, or they will lose all their core players.

It’s exactly as advertised

This is EVE Online-lite. Just like EO, it is complex, it is unforgiving, it is a time sink. Do not expect to pick up and play this casually, and do not expect to be able to compete against other players or reach end game content in less than a year. Unlike EVE, they do soften a lot of the blows. There are far more protections and mistakes are not punished nearly as severely. There is also far less depth, though still more than your average game. There’s not even a quarter of the ships, components, and functions of EO, but that’s just fine as it is a mobile game, and should be expected to be at least somewhat more casual.

The good: It is a fun RGP space sim with more depth and complexity than any other game I’ve played on mobile. It of a decent tuning of EO to a more casual mobile game while still maintaining a relatively “hard core” aspect and requiring a grasp of the strategies and mechanics to succeed past the initial game stage.

The bad: a niche player base which has too little incentive to compete or branch out has somewhat stagnated the game. Basically you will have two options to make decent money - corporate manufacturing or corporate ratting in special anomalies. Trying to do anything else, especially freelancing, will have you spinning your wheels and you won’t be seeing top tier ships for years. While EE tries to combat them, bot farms exasperate this problem.

The ugly: EE still needs to make money, and with premium time able to be paid for with ISK (in game currency), they have turned to microtransactions and there are certain things that are locked behind those micro transactions UNLESS another player buys them and sells them on the market (Shanghai Carrier). The most frustrating is nano cores, with many of the best cores, and materials for upgrading those cores, being untradable, so players who want them must buy them. Again, I get it, they have to make money, but there is frustration with some of these cores being extremely powerful, extremely expensive, and time/ event limited.

Game won’t launch

Won’t get passed first initial screen

Fav game on iPhone

Best game on the marketplace, you won’t find a deeper more rewarding game anywhere but PC

Read this

This game is alright I just need to know how to change my character looks and need to know how to log out of my account

solve the problem!!!

The game crashes when running on two iPhone 12 pro/android devices

Broken Economy

Long time eve online and eve echoes player. The eve echoes economy is basically broken, there is no point mining or manufacturing unless it’s for yourself. Everyone runs capitals to rat or PvP. If you don’t have a capital you are left out. The only way to get a capital is to spend $1000+ to inject your character with skills and buy a ship. Don’t waist your time, play eve online

Will not work

Returning player, thought I’d give it another crack, game will not get past Netease Splashscreen, just closes, tried on iPhone XR, 7, 13 & 17. & following other review comments from the developer no I cannot report issue ingame, because I can’t get in game.

Gets a 1 star for no easy referral program.

Eve online makes this very easy. Do better.

It won’t work

I was trying out it won’t even load. I didn’t even get to play at once.

please fix it

I have an iPhone 16 Pro and when I download the game, the game just crashes and nothing helped, even deleting the game and downloading it again didn't help, please fix this error, please, developers

Problem

I can’t add any stars to this review because I can’t play it, all I have to say is that on my iPhone it would not load and it keeps exiting me out of the game

Don’t waste your time downloading this

Game doesn’t even work on iOS. Opens at netease loading screen then completely crashes and closes the app.

Crash

Just downloaded to try it out on my iPad I can’t even get past the loading screen I just get kicked out

Super mais peu d’entretient

Une jeu super, mais très clairement laisser à l’abandon, des bugs et pleins de manques dommage au vue du prix de l’abonnement, un peu plus d’attention pour au moins résoudre les problèmes.

Stupidity

Stupid it expects you to know every nuance of control panel right off of the bat zero training apart from 1 3 min intro, the game needs to be destroyed

Doesn’t even start iPhone 17 Pro

What’s to say except it cancelled out from the initial screen not even starting

P2W dogsht

Not worth your time. You’ll have a better time licking a public toilet bowl

Game don’t even work

1 star. The game don’t work. I have a iPhone 16 pro. Fully capable of playing this game. But it doesn’t work. Doesn’t even try to work. Open the app and it just closes automatically nothing else.
