I tried loading him to play it since I’m new and never got to. ### 1/5 — Game unplayable *2023-05-05* Opening the app it says to go to App Store and update the game, but there is no option to update in the App Store. ### 1/5 — Won’t run *2022-11-13, version 0.10.15* App says major update detected but it is up to date from the App Store ### 1/5 — THIS GAME IS DEAD IN ALL IOS PHONE *2022-09-20, version 0.10.15* UPDATED::::GAME IS DEAD IN IPHONE PERMANENTLY…March 2, 2021. This game officially dead. All servers went down February 26, 2021. The developers of this game has been missing for almost 1 year. The last update was August of 2020 but even then, the developers has NOT responded to all the customers/players. It was a great game but its dead now. FIND ANOTHER GAME. Recommend “STATES OF SURVIVORS” or “KISS OF WARS” ### 1/5 — Not ready *2020-05-25, version 0.10.13* Game refuses to fit my screen on my iPad. Too many coders in China spitting out crappy games daily. ### 1/5 — Support never answers *2019-11-21, version 0.10.10* I have tried to contact tech support for days and have yet to get a response. This game is always pushing in-app purchases, but doesn’t respond when you have an issue. **Developer response:** We`ll check it as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — Do not download this game! Scam! *2018-07-05, version 0.10.6* After playing this game for two days it glitched. It kept popping up an in game currency purchase (prompting the “confirm with Touch ID” dialogue). When you tap cancel, it refreshes the purchase and prompts you again. If you try to hit the home button it confirms the purchase. After confirming the purchase, it refreshes once again prompting you to make the same purchase without letting you out. The only way to break this loop is to lock your phone and upon unlocking, (very quickly!) double tap the home button and swipe up to hard close the game. It got me three times for an unknown amount of money. I will be filing for a refund and emailing App Store support to have this game removed from the store. Intentional or not, this looks a lot like a scam. Not to mention the art is all ripped off from other IPs (Starcraft, Star Trek). Do not under any circumstances download this game! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We`ll check it as soon as possible. ### 2/5 — Loading problems that ruins game *2019-12-25, version 0.10.10* I can login to the game fast and quick and do basic operations like playing the game and getting in game rewards. When I pay for deals or bundles though, I have to wait for a very long time (tried 10 times and each time the in-app purchase wasn’t processed) and still I don’t get what I paid for. In addition, the game likes to random let buffer and make me wait like the in-app purchase section of the game. How do you expect people to like a game when the game can barely function as is. I do love the concept but please fix this major problem. If you need more details, I’ll be happy to provide deeper insight to the problem. **Developer response:** We`ll check it as soon as possible. ### 3/5 — Joshua *2020-06-14, version 0.10.13* Please more updates and lots of more updates ### 4/5 — Fun *2019-02-13, version 0.10.9* If you’re into this sort of thing. Very little sets it apart from Game of War, Galaxy Online, or that insult to the Final Fantasy XV Universe, New Empire or whatever it’s called. Still, this is holding my interest for whatever reason. Maybe I just haven’t hit the wall yet. Almost all of the imagery is directly stolen from Star Trek, so I’m hoping it’s just placeholder visuals and that they fix that before they’re destroyed in a conflagration of legal bullying. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We`ll try our best to make it better. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game is still stuck. *2020-08-16, version 0.10.14* I know updates improve game but other people are on. And my bases are being obliterated while I’m stuck and can’t get back on. Braveheart. Mysterious etc etc. very bad scenario. ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2020-02-18, version 0.10.10* Loved it **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. ### 5/5 — Slow development *2018-10-09, version 0.10.8* Once you get past the first few levels like lv 13 it starts to pick up. The timing is horrible though. Besides those two things it’s been a very decent game so far **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We`ll try our best to make it better. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2018-04-14, version 0.10.4* Solid game so far, lots out there like it, but not many space games of this quality. Will update later. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We`ll try our best to make it better. ### 5/5 — Fun and cool *2017-11-15, version 0.9.37* You should gather more players, so I can build a big alliance **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We`ll try our best to make it better. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
