PLEASE READ!!

This game is great but its super pay to win. Its not fun to play in multiplayer because I don’t get the right lobbies or my guns are way to weak. If they cared enough for the game they would update it. But its not all that bad, besides this is on of the many few actually good offline campaign games. But I have a idea for gameloft, and that is that they remaster n.o.v.a. 1. Its would be really fun and cool to have one kf my favourite games be remastered with a single player campaign and a great multiplayer. They sould also add a setting that allows to to go to the original graphics from the original n.o.v.a. 1. I hope you liked this message and if gameloft reads this and decides to remake n.o.v.a. 1 that would mean a lot to me. Thank you for reading this and have a nice day!

Game loft needs to advertise this game (and nova 3)

The nova games have all been very enjoyable it is pretty much like halo for iPad. But there are still minor bugs with a few of the maps. (Falling through the ground, etc) campaign is fine, but the real problem is multiplayer. Since no one knows about the nova games except die hard fans, you can not get a lobby. At first I thought it was because Gameloft was not producing any more games,But then I saw Apple Arcade. If Gameloft were to simply put the nova games on Apple Arcade people would get informed and totally play them. But for now nova is a sitting duck in the world of first person shooters.

It’s extremely good for what it is

This game does not compete with games like nova 3 or cod mobile. However it has extremely good graphics for a 72 mgb game. The gun play is smooth, the movement isn’t slow or clunky. The OFFLINE campaign mode is king. Yes you can’t customize your hud. But u get aaa quality gameplay in an extremely small sized game. I love how your beginner guns are not pieces of junk. So I would recommend this game the way it to anyone. Please do not mess this game up like other devs do to good games

Retro doesn’t mean poor quality right?

The game is concept is a great idea altho it rips a lot of things from Halo but I won’t hold that against them. Halo is the greatest shooter franchise to grace this blue orb. I digress. NOVA Legacy is a great concept that lacks quality in too many categories. The inability to move the buttons is a serious issue. When changing guns, more than half the time I pull down my notification bar. I can change my looks sensitivity so it takes 2 full swipes to get myself turned around. The graphics are pixelated at best. This is not at all what I expected and for that reason it’s a solid 2 stars from me.

4 stars for plenty reasons

I have realized into 4 weeks of playing this game that you don’t even need skill to play all you need is luck and that is very disappointing. Not to mention the fact that there’s a system where you can self aim, and on the other side of luck all you need is a couple rush packs diamond packs etc. And boom you can kill everybody and another thing. Once you get some good guns you can start killing most noobs whose damage is below 200 same goes for shield. And then start getting coins and more currency’s and eventually be one of the top players in the game. And then there’s barely any campaign missions seriously only 19. The only things you can do when you finish the game is play multiplayer, play for events, shadow missions and that’s really it. And there’s only one event which is Rush. The game hasn’t updated in 2 years and really needs some improvements.

Needs some changes

The game to me is fun and all, and the graphics are great, but there is some work that needs to be done. First of all is the packs system, in order to gets cards for just one decent weapon you have to spend around 10-20 dollars, and it won’t even garntueed you unlock the card because the higher the rarity, the more cards you need to get to unlock it. Second is the multiplayer matchmaking, if you are new to the game or somewhere in between, you’re basically toast against other players, because new players will go against players who have maxed out weapons and can kill people with legendary armor on in one shot. Please fix this and make the game better.

N.O.V.A Legacy: A Disgrace to the Series

N.O.V.A was a great series until they killed the first two installments and replaced them with this disgrace of a game. Let’s see…we have loot boxes, no voice acting, an energy system. The recipe that takes the fun out of a game. Furthermore, the amount of glitches present in this so called “remastered” version is utterly frustrating and atrocious. Soon after I completed the campaign and received some of the best epics from gold packs using free gems, the game suddenly crashed and refused any attempts to open (I kid you not). All that time and effort I spent collecting items, upgrading them, and completing levels…gone. The same happened when I played Asphalt 8 some years ago. It is a middle finger to the customers. I would like to play my first N.O.V.A, not this crap. But we don’t have that kind of luxury, do we? There is no way I’ll be spending time playing this game again. The paywall was frustrating as it was. Will be deleting. The only game from this company that is even worth playing is N.O.V.A 3.

This is a great game. Don’t be fooled.

This game is wicked awesome. It is probably the one of the best war games I have ever got on this device. The campaign levels are awesome, and the guns are great.

The one complaint that I have is this. I like to play on the multiplayer, ok? But the dang hackers. They cheat, you can’t kill them, u can’t catch them either. They literally go through the walls, and kill me with one shot. It not fair, and I dont have a chance. But, plz ban the hackers and stuff, if u can developers. But this game is frickin AWESOME. LOVE IT!!!!!!!

A Horrible Tribute to a Once Great Game

I played all the original nova games when they came out and this game feels so commercialized that it’s hardly the same game anymore.

Ignoring the fact that this game is entirely pay to win and basically follows the textbook boilerplate of creating a game with no substance, I’m going to give an honest review on the look and feel of the gameplay.

The old NOVA games had incredible atmosphere. Whether it was in the voice acting, or sound design, or the bloody and gritty settings, it felt good. This game has none of that. No voice acting, no punchy and powerful weapon sounds, no blood or violence. Instead of feeling like a horror shooter, it feels like a boring role playing game. The enemies even have displayed levels next to their health bars, things that I don’t even recall existing in the original games.

Imagine you took all the old NOVA games, and stripped them of everything cool so you could ship it to China and the CCP would approve. That’s the NOVA Legacy you’re getting. CCP NOVA.

I’m going to look for my old Ipad so I can play the old NOVA games and remember them fondly. They don’t deserve a send-off like this.

Great Game, but Two Concerns

Great game overall, but my first complaint is the “excess tokens” function. I recently competed in an event, and received 150 event tokens (enough to buy a rush pack). I went into the event store, and an “excess token” screen popped up, forcing me to convert my event tokens into coins. There is no way to dismiss this screen, and it literally FORCES you to convert the event tokens into coins, therefore taking away the ability to get a rush pack. Last thing is that for some reason, even when connected to a strong signal of WiFi, I can’t watch adds. Why not?

Ehhh we want the continuation of nova 3

Like this game nova legacy is cool and all but there’s no voice acting there’s no like story mode entirely like it doesn’t really feel like nova 3 is it possible to make nova four or something like the continuation of nova three and kal wardens adventure continuing since the ending was pretty like, it lasted 2 seconds and ended abruptly after kal and rufas got a shield from one of the judgers
It would be cool if we could see a nova four with the same type stuff as the third like the voice acting and the cutscenes and everything thanks for the amazing experience though

Good game muy multiplayer needs some work

I like the game it’s well made and fun. The campaign is short but interesting and gets you ready for multiplayer. My only problem with the game is that the multiplayer is a bit unfair because you tend to get matched up with people who may have 500 defense armor when you only have 250 armor and weapons at 220 which compared to their weapons which are at 400 range. This makes for a very unfair match in which one player just decimates the rest of the players on the map. My suggestions is that matches should be set up so people with similar weapon and armor score are matched up against each other so they can play and have a good time and not be stopped from playing the game. Otherwise than that the game is great and I would recommend it to others!

Server issues

I love the game Both the offline and online multiplayer mode, but my biggest complaint is the matching of players, it’s unfair in the sense that someone with a ridiculous level of armor and guns would be paired against lesser players and then it just becomes a bloodbath and not a match so please work on your player matchup.

My second complaint is the fact that whether you’re playing a multiplayer match using WiFi or LTE and you swipe down your notifications to either reply a message or even turn down your brightness the server disconnects, like come on it’s really frustrating

Fix it else even as a long time fan, I’ll have no choice but to uninstall.

Payers only

So I was there playing the game then a event showed up and not playing any multiplayer I thought meh worth it and that the day I noticed if you couldn’t tell from the title THE MULTIPLAYER IS FILLED WITH PAYERS I can not go into a game without some guy paying 100 dollars for all the newest over powered weapons I know you need money but it’s ruining the multiplayer as new players will encounter from pay to win “noob” and get frustrated by it so all I’m asking is for you to add in some mode in multiplayer or events where you can’t bring any weapons you paid money for

Also the small team behind working on this the community has a word of advice for you that will make us happy

Bring Back N.O.V.A 3 for the iOS and by nova 3 I mean the free version

Consider it a stand alone

If you are looking for a classic shooter delivered at high quality - this isn’t it. This game disappoints the Nova family in terms of story, length, quality, and content. But that’s because I think it’s designed to be something different. It has an almost arcade feel and style - it’s a compact game with similarities to Nova, but it ultimately is a different breed. It’s not a game designed for long periods of gameplay at once and is better received as ten minutes here, 15 minutes there. The upgrades available to avatars really make the multiplayer skewed.

Also, prepare to be slaughter by ads. There are sooooooooo many everywhere. But it’s free.

Why is this a downgrade?

Instead of having a better game, with more features, the game is a worse compared to its predecessors. Why is there no option to scope with assault rifles, a feature that is not missing in much older games. This game also doesn’t feel nearly as smooth in terms of controls as something like NOVA 3 or modern combat 5 or even modern combat 3. This retro approach can be done well, like the Wolfenstein games, but here it just a feel like a lazy decision. Even when I turned the sensitivity down to 1% I still had trouble navigating a hallway. This game worked better on my iPhone 7, and it seems worse on the iPhone 10. On the iPhone 7, the games smoothness was mediocre, but the switch to an iPhone 10 makes the controls much less fluid. Even if the controls operated like butter, the game itself would still be eh at best when compared to past games. The servers are also rather trite. A game like PUBG will have really good connection, and something like Modern Combat 5 will have passable connection, but this game’s connection is pretty bad. You also can not modify the control layout so that the trigger button is not in the very corner of the screen. It’s not a good sign when the gameplay gets better because you turned on auto fire when enemies are on target.

Great game!

Here's what I'm running: iPhone 4S on iOS 9.3.5 (dual core Apple A5). This is a really nice game, with great graphics, although I wish Gameloft would fix the bug where it crashes during a game and you either have to open it up all over again or just forget about it. However, I really love it other than that. It supports iOS 8 and later, which is fortunate for me because I can only run iOS 9 at the highest. Most apps nowadays require iOS 10 or later, but I'm glad Gameloft still made an exception for older devices like mine. The performance is a bit laggy, but most of that is because I'm running it on an old iPhone. Overall, super great game!

Truly a good game

I don’t typically like games such as this one (mobile fps) but this one is actually pretty fun. I just got it today so I don’t have a whole lot of experience with the game or any bugs it may have. The only thing that I would like to be changed is the whole “auto-shoot” bull crap. While it is convenient at times, I would prefer an option in the settings to turn it off. Also please add aiming down the iron sights on all guns and not just the sniper. These two things don’t really affect the gameplay and this is still a good game whether or not they add these things. I do recommend this game to anyone looking for a decent fps, and don’t listen to the negative reviews because if you don’t like the game you can just easily delete it. Thank you to any who read this review and God bless.

This is why I try games for myself

So a lot of the reviews here are very unsatisfied-sounding. I’ve been all about nova since the first one. I played the hell out of nova 3 when time allowed at sea. Anyone that has done something similar knows how much it can mean, as far as your choices of games to bring out there, even if you hardly get time to play them. Anyway. I read the reviews from other die-hard nova fans, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried. But I decided to say screw it and try the game anyway. Not many people will likely agree with me, but I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised. I’m all about progress leading things in new directions, and we all know game loft excels at keeping with the times. So all things considered, I see this as a sort of anniversary/new experiment that I’m pretty into. No, it’s not a carbon copy of the first nova. I was hoping it wouldn’t be. They said they made improvements, and they did. As I hobby I write, and when I revise a personal story, I’ll change whatever I need to to create what I want the result to be. I see the exact same process here and I’m all for it. Also I have nova 3 downloaded for when the nostalgia is hitting hard, or the WiFi cuts out.

So basically, I don’t think it’s that bad at all, and I’m gonna keep playing. I recommend trying it for yourself before letting other’s opinions be your own
