My only concern with this is the shop won’t reset, the missions don’t complete. It would be very helpful if you would fix these issues because the shop did wonders for me in the past and the mission rewards were so helpful. I just hope you take the time to read this and if you do, thank you! I just ask that you please fix these bugs in this wonderful game ### 3/5 — No server connection *2021-01-15, version 1.8* I played this game 1 or 2 years ago and it was fine until I redownloaded it and now you cant connect to the servers please fix this. I gave this three stars because I have played this before and it was so good and everything thats not the server cannot connect thing. ### 4/5 — Missions *2020-01-21, version 1.8* Just letting know the set back that’s happening in your game please take it lightly because it’s much. The problem for starters is the missions they’re not counting your progress nor activating when completed, the timer of Arsenal refresh always stay in 5hrs the game is great but in the past few chats I’ve been seeing comments about the same thing I’ve mentioned earlier also if u want your game more epic throw in the USG ishimura. Or the Jhon A. Warden #starshiptroopers# and other ships and more maps sure the update is much but you’ll benefit a lot of us and I could speak for all your downloaders.... thank you if you read this means a lot thank you for your time. ### 3/5 — This game was good until seemingly abandoned. *2019-09-09, version 1.8* The game was vey good and better in my opinion than its sister game space armada by the dame developers. It has less riffraff and the screens are easier to interpret. Problem is that four days have passed and the game appears to have been abandoned as the servers have been down and you cant even connect anymore. All this without any notice or even an email reply or message from the developers stating their intentions. This is unprofessional and stabs at their credibility. ### 3/5 — Like the game, but still has bugs *2019-02-23, version 1.8* The gameplay is good, though repetitive. Very simple concept, but I enjoyed it. Better when you can play against other players, but most of the time you are against bots because there doesn’t seem to be enough people playing this game. 1 out of every 20 games is pvp. My complaint is that the league bonus is broken. If you are the top 1% of your current league, then you will get gold and weapon bonuses. I have gotten nothing in the last month of being 1% of my league. There is no in-app contact button to let the developers know of any problems, so that is why I am posting it here. Maybe they all speak only Greek. On the iPhone, forget about changing your character name, unless you connect to Game Center. Otherwise you are “Player####”. Small things like this makes me wonder if the iOS version is just an afterthought for the developers. ### 4/5 — Love it? Love it! *2018-10-20, version 1.8* This game could use clans or alliances, some more game modes and evasive inventory such as flares. But over all this an amazing game. The battles are exciting and smooth. Simple controls with great maneuverability. Wonderful black market store (for use with in-game currencies) and chest rewards. Very cool ships and weaponry. The purchases in game are fairly priced and not essential to enjoy the game. I’m enjoying this game a great deal and looking forward to future updates/productions. ### 4/5 — Very High Potential *2018-10-11, version 1.8* The game is fun. Graphics are great. Very High Potential to be an excellent game. This game needs a few features added and a few tweaks to it. The features: 1.)New game modes such as Capture the Flag, 2.) Give each ship their own special ability 3.) Add more maps 4.) Add new weapons and perks such as a constant laser beam or healing, repair consumable, etc. 5.) Expand the Tech Tree, add more ships and make more ship type classes such as Destroyer, cruiser, battleship, dreadnought. Example make add a lvl 65 destroyer that can equip 5 torpedoes. 6.) New game mechanics such as starting fires, or doing critical damage etc. The tweaks: 1.) Instead of having all of our main batteries automatically shoot for us, allow us to manually shoot them it would be a lot more fun. ### 3/5 — One issue with *2018-09-22, version 1.8* I can’t play this on my iPhone unless I’m connected to WiFi it keeps on saying not connected I don’t have good internet here so I gust use the cellular on my phone every other game I have connects fine but this game doesn’t I feel like it’s one of those games that you can’t play online unless you’re connected to the WiFi or something this game is interesting if I go somewhere with no connection to the WiFi then this game is useless ### 3/5 — Good foundation, but needs more. *2018-09-03, version 1.8* Been playing about 2 weeks. Visually very appealing. Seems like it has a lot of potential to be a great game. The maps all feel the same (one big cube with a single object in the middle). There’s not much variety on weapon effectiveness (all guns have range 4km; all missles have range 5km). Devs: The biggest glitch making the game unplayable to me is the “zoom in/zoom out” button is not visible on my ipad. I’ve tried untinstalling/reinstalling and changing controls mode, but the button just isn’t present. As a result, my ships often zoom in and I can’t get out. ### 3/5 — Ok game... *2018-07-25, version 1.8* I got this game 3-4 weeks ago, and I’m already level 38. (With the help of a 2 dollar starter pack, but eh) So, the ships are really cool, and usually well designed, and I have no complaints about damage glitches while they do happen once in a blue moon, but I would love to see a few things. 1: More actual players in the team matches. The bots just aren’t challenging, and are very predictable, which is how I leveled up so fast. Unless the bots have a ship completely superior to mine, like a cruiser up against one of my destroyers, where I can’t make a dent and my CPU team gets wiped out. 2: The survival. Anyone who already plays knows exactly what I’m talking about. There is NEVER anyone in the survival matches, and even when coordinating with other players in the chat, we still end up in different servers. I hope this gets fixed. 3: More game modes! Please! I love the game, and I really enjoy the battles, but PLEASE, we need more battle modes than just the team fight and survival. It would make the game a lot more interesting, and I think it would be really beneficial to the game. 4: It would be amazing to have guilds. This game is really similar to another one I play called walking war robots, and I think the devs need to take a look at that and see what they could do here. All in all, it’s a good game with lots of potential, but it needs just a little bit of love from the devs to make it one of the best. ### 5/5 — Things I think should be added *2018-07-18, version 1.8* I love this game! Really! It has alot of potential and has alot of things that it is missing, though. Many things it miss is actually things in other games, and I am here to make a list. The game is missing things like Clans, Addable Friends, More Gamemodes (We only have 2), and a bigger variety of ships. To make things more fair, could the ships have weakness and strengths? Like, heavy ships have more health, but are slow while light ships such as some frigates are fast, but fragile? ### 5/5 — A slight problem *2018-07-16, version 1.8* When ever you go into a battle and start up your engines your camera goes first person and there is no button that I can see that causes this or can cancel it other than that it is a very fun game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Remove this from the store! *2020-04-06, version 1.8* DO NOT SPEND YOUR $$$ ON THIS GAME!!! This game was so much fun when I first got it that I actually spent money on it. I NEVER spend money on games. Yet THIS game I enjoyed so much that I wanted to spend money on it. The next day I couldn’t t get in a game at all. I thought maybe they’re doing maintenance because it was 4am on Sunday. The next afternoon, no connection. Monday all day, no connection. In the chat people are saying this is just how it is. This game is a scam. The devs are ignoring players or nonexistent. I think they just let it go and now Apple gets all the profits? I don’t know but IT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE STORE!!! ### 1/5 — Game has potential *2020-03-13, version 1.8* The gameplay in this pretty enjoyable. The controls, for a mobile game, are actually very nice. Graphics are pretty good also. However, there are some major problems. The “Quests” do not track wins or kills. The parts store, where you can buy new weapons, has a refresh timer that does not work. These problems don’t seem like they would impact much, but in reality they slow progression down dramatically. The game has a lot of potential, if the problems mentions were fixed. ### 1/5 — Listen to reviews. Good reviews are from months/years ago *2020-02-25, version 1.8* They are thieves, do not reply, try not to refund you, servers have been down since the first week i downloaded it, still no response or refund. This game is always down. The only thing you can do is give them money, stare at your ships and drop a comment in a dead chatroom. I purchased the premium badge to give me a boost in getting more exp and currency when i first downloaded. Its been hell trying to contact the company for a refund. Hopefully apple will help. Its sad because it seems like a great game. ### 1/5 — Servers have been down for over 2 weeks *2019-09-21, version 1.8* I spent around $7.00 in game 2 days before the servers went down. To be frank, I was having fun and had intentions of spending more money up until the servers went down. Players have been using the in game chat system to question why they haven’t been able to play in quite sometime and often think the game is dead. No response has been given by the development team and the servers have not been restored. I feel ripped off and I would take back my money if I could. Pathetic. ### 1/5 — Money rip off? *2019-07-22, version 1.8* Many palyers have said that devs are not going to do any other update on this game. It has good potential tho. Yu still can buy stuff and get very good vessel and weapon to win every battle yu want. The game is playable and very stable. Sometime it freeze but still very rare. Since devs are no longer supporting the game and keep selling goods to player is for me a no,no. A minimum support would have been the good way to go. No support mean no stars. But the game is not bad. 3 maps and unbalanced weapon but if yu figured out the weakness, yu getbeat everyone without paying. Good luck :) ### 1/5 — No escape from ads *2018-08-06, version 1.8* I’m willing to pay for things in F2P games. Make a good game and I’ll support it. Developers gotta eat. However, I hate ads. It was bad enough that everything I do offers a chance to be better if I watch an ad. I could skip those. But then I got dumped into an ad automatically after finishing a battle. I don’t even see an option to pay to turn off ads, so I’m out after battle one. I want a game, not an ad delivery service posing as a game. ### 1/5 — Low game support *2018-07-09, version 1.8* Starts off ok as a free game. Downhill from there servers are down most of the time . When things are working game on. But all you’re hard work for gold to upgrade ship level/improvement is lost Because you click on the upgrade it takes your gold and it says Improvement failed. So I definitely wouldn’t give them real money That would be a bigger loss you won’t get it back. ### 2/5 — The heck guys? *2022-02-11, version 1.8* So I actually had this game a while back and thought it was really good, then I kinda just left it alone for a while. Well, imagine my surprise when it says connection error, though I didn’t immediately decide to write this review after that though. I tried to fix it by doing everything I could think of, like turning the Wifi off and on again, turning the phone off and on, and a dozen other things. Nothing worked. So then I go to the App Store to write a review when I begin to get a bit suspicious, and I decided to look at recent reviews. As it turns out, people have had the same problem as me since OVER A YEAR AGO. THE HECK GUYS?!? Why is this game even still on the App Store if your not even going to bother fixing it? ### 2/5 — Love this game *2019-05-24, version 1.8* I started playing a few years ago and quickly loved this game. I ended up losing all of my save data which I switched phones so I just started back up again. The game feels like it’s been updated a little since I last played and it’s still one of the best games in the store. Sure it can be repetitive at times but you can play as much as you want, no limits like energy or caps, and each match is new. With that said there are a several issues now that I have played for a several months. Before there used to be a lot of real players playing but now I’m finding it’s mostly bots. At lower player levels the games were fairly balanced but at upper levels (50+) they are not. More and more frequently getting put into matches with “players” using all premium purchased ships, primarily the battleship and both premium dreadnoughts. Matches are very unbalanced with facings even one player with purchased ships even 1 tier higher let alone 2 or more tiers or players. To me this is most important to get fixed. When matches are so unbalanced it’s not fun at all to play. ### 2/5 — Connection Error *2018-05-07, version 1.8* You guys need to make an update for the game as I’m retyping my review again as your game is being bugged by hackers, i was able to play for two weeks until today when it said connection error and I’m really bummed as I love this game, I will not be sending a message to you guys as I’ve tried a lot and you guys haven’t opened your relays to allow app support option to work, website or App Store version ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s working again. *2022-06-09, version 1.8* Sooo… after not being able to even open the game for like 2 years now, I can FINALLY connect and actually play without errors. However, there is nobody in matches because everyone thinks it’s dead, which, it was. Welp. I loved this game. :( ### 5/5 — Update idea! *2020-08-15, version 1.8* I was thinking maybe you could add fighters to the game they can protect you, your friends and attack the enemy it would make the battle experience amazing, please put this in a future update ### 5/5 — Quests don’t work *2019-11-22, version 1.8* I have had this game for a year now and I still love it spent hard earned money on it and I will still continue to play this game but please fix the quests issue it doesn’t work anymore also don’t let this game die this is one of the best phone games I have ever had. Thank you for making this game. ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-07-01, version 1.8* It's great but it feels like the beginning stage like its in beta it would be awesome if you had working escape pods, like if you ware about to die you could use crystals to use the escape pods if your ship has it and when you're ship does down you can use the same ship again and you could only use the escape pods once a match would make the game more impressive this game has alot of potential I love star ship games like this I give this game a five star. ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2019-05-04, version 1.8* The game is amazing! I love all of the different ships you can get. I also love the guns you can get. The one thing about the guns is that they make super annoying sounds. So can you please fix this problem? ### 5/5 — Just found a bug, but great game *2019-03-25, version 1.8* This game is really good, but I have two problems. 1: sometimes in battles you get paired up against players with way better ships than your whole team. 2: since this morning the game will open but stay on a screen with the base background of the hanger and nothing happens ### 5/5 — Make more ships and maps *2019-03-09, version 1.8* I'm mars alseides (gt) I grow tired of ai 's and what is up with the occasional five tyrants I see in battle when u have all dreadnaughts u r only supposed to have 4open slots not 5 don't get me wrong I win 100% of my matches 99.9 &9/10ths of the time but that is unfair if I can't and make more maps and a more stabil multiplayer please if I'm paying I would like to see some results or upgrades ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2018-11-04, version 1.8* I love the game, mostly because even if your opponents buy big ships, it’s still plausible to get the weapons they have and CRUSH THEM!!!! Maybe add healing attachments and snipers?? Also I think more ships would be great! I haven’t spent any money and still this game is amazing!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏👏👏👏 keep improving tho! ### 5/5 — Great game and has good potential *2018-11-02, version 1.8* I absolutely love this game. It deserves five stars. I really like the 4v4 action and that is something I don't usually get in games like this. The ship models are really nice too because there are lots of things that would keep a real-life ship (if there is any in the future) flying, and the models are original (except for one ship). love the chat features but I really wish there was in-game chat like global or team chat. I have only one issue besides the chat. The size of some of the guns and the placement. I would attach a pic of a three barreled rail gun turret and a super heavy cruiser cannon on a Kingsword if I could. It's gigantic. And the placement of some of the weapons to me seems off. On the Kingsword ship, the HUGE cruiser cannon is placed right on top of the command bridge and the cannon is bigger than the bridge so it looks kinda dumb. Overall great game. I hope to see updates in the future. ### 5/5 — Trading *2018-10-02, version 1.8* I thought you should make trades so if you have a little brother you can give him something better than he has so he can be happy and it’s not a waste of the ship --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
