### 3/5 — Game over 2026?

*2026-01-01*

Ich liebe dieses Spiel immer noch. Heute wollte ich gechillt mal wieder reinsehen. Aber: startet nicht mehr auf dem iPad mit aktuellem iPadOS. Das kann wohl nur am Datum liegen?

### 4/5 — Wonderful game for peaceful play!

*2025-05-03, version 4.0.3*

I love this game! Very easy to play, clear instruction through tutorial. This game is all about strategy, and that is great. But I love zen mode. I could play that for hours! The only reason I’m giving 4 stars and not 5, is because there are a limited number of particle fields and monoliths. To prolong game play, I suggest more missions and adding additional monoliths and particle fields…especially in zen mode for those of us who just want to lose ourselves in game play.

### 2/5 — Promising Concept, But Frustrating Execution

*2025-02-02, version 4.0.3*

Rymdkapsel has a unique and interesting concept, blending base-building with real-time strategy in a minimalist style. However, the game can be confusing at times, with little guidance on how to optimize your base or manage resources effectively.

One of the biggest frustrations is the occasional bugs that can force you to restart, especially when key mechanics don’t work as expected. It’s disappointing because the game has a lot of potential, but the lack of clarity and technical issues make it more frustrating than fun. With some fixes and better explanations, it could be great—but as it stands, it’s hard to fully enjoy.

### 3/5 — Could Be Great

*2023-06-26, version 4.0.3*

The game provides insufficient control over the allocation of resources.  Worse, the algorithms that mange this do so inefficiently, even waste fully.  Imagine playing chess where some outside agency periodically throws crucial pieces away, or randomly prevents winning moves.

This is a strategy game which makes implementing the best strategy impossible.  Disappointing.

### 4/5 — Aufbau spiel mit ungenutztem potential

*2022-07-23*

Das spiel macht absolut süchtig...
Schade das man nie gewinnen kann..weil die waves irgendwann unmöglich werden...
Aber scheinbar hat der entwickler das spiel schon aufgegeben..echt schade bei dem Potential...trotzdem solltet ihr dem game ne chance geben..hier ist der weg das ziel...

### 3/5 — Great potential, but falls short.

*2022-06-14, version 4.0.1*

The soundtrack is one of the best parts.  Put the soundtrack on iTunes, I will buy it.  I let the game run on my iPad at night and fall asleep to it. Awesome.

No iCloud backup? Hmmmm….

Many complaints buy iPhone 11 users.

Game ends far to quickly as the waves of enemies come far to quickly after about wave 20.  It destroys the zen like nature of the game.  Waves need to scale much more slowly.  After about wave  28 the waves are continuous and you are left just watching all play out. Your minions just fight and make new minions until you are overwhelmed.

The minion AI could use an upgrade.  They needlessly pick up materials that are not needed.  Run past weapons stations right next to them only to run to ones clear across the map.

All in all a decent game with great potential. Hopefully the developer will listen.

### 4/5 — Am Ende verlierst Du doch

*2022-05-19*

Ich mag due Grafik und auch die minimalistische Musik sehr. Der Aufbau-Faktor reizt mich am meisten an diesem Spiel, und das seit vielen Jahren. (Seit Erscheinen.)
Aber eine Sache wurde nie verändert und das finde ich schade: Statt dem Spieler zu gratulieren, dass er die geforderte Anzahl Wellen erreicht und überlebt hat, um ihn dann mit einem positiven Gefühl die Wahl zu lassen, ob er fertig ist, oder weiter machen will, laufen die Wellen einfach weiter bis man am Ende zwangsweise untergeht.
Das hinterlässt natürlich dann doch eine eher negatives Gefühl.
Ich hätte mich da sehr über einen Kampagnen-Modus gefreut. 
Schade, dass dies nie weiterentwickelt wurde.
Gutes Spiel, besser als jedes free to pay / pay to win allemal. Aber ich sehe verschenktes Potential.

### 4/5 — Please update zen level

*2022-04-14, version 4.0.1*

Please update zen level to have limitless extractor fields

### 4/5 — Please fix

*2021-11-28, version 4.0.0*

When it worked this was my fav game but now it doesn't work i don't know why plz fix this

### 2/5 — Game is fun but becomes unplayable after wave 20

*2021-03-31, version 4.0.0*

Game is fun but becomes unplayable after wave 20 where you are attacked constantly.  You have no time to do construction or to make food.

### 5/5 — 웰메이드 전략게임

*2020-10-09*

7년전 게임을 아직도 업데이트 해주네요... 반가워서 리뷰 남겨봅니다. 블럭을 조립해 기지를 넓히는 단순한 방식으로 라운드가 올라갈수록 박진감 넘치게 진행됩니다. 다만 게임 플레이가 단조로워 한번 끝을 보면 다시 하고싶은 마음이 안생깁니다.
+ 빨리감기 기능은 없는 줄 알았는데 세손가락으로 화면을 길게 누르고 있으면 됩니다. 따로 설명이 없어 저도 우연히 찾았네요 ^^;

### 5/5 — Played this game for years but needs iPhone 11 tweaks

*2020-06-16, version 3.1.0*

Can’t play the game on iPhone 11 because trying to make rooms always opens the drop down tab, game is unplayable as it is

### 5/5 — I want more

*2020-06-06, version 3.1.0*

I just want more this game is great tho

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Has only one level

*2026-03-04, version 4.0.3*

This is basically just a demo, there’s no game. Fun for 30 mins and that’s it.

### 1/5 — Forces you to lose

*2025-05-13, version 4.0.3*

I was enjoying this game a lot at first but as soon as you progress past round 15 the game speeds up to the point where it’s impossible to go further. No matter what, you are going to die regardless of what you do because the game ramps up so fast. At round 20 I knew I was caught in a loop and would die in a couple more rounds so I just quit. There’s no point in trying. 
It’d be like if you were in a foot race but halfway through someone takes your shoes and ties you to a broken down bus.

### 1/5 — Wish I could get a refund

*2024-04-29, version 4.0.3*

Super buggy, couldn’t get past the first level. It kept kicking me out to the main screen, my units would sometimes disappear and then reappear, materials would disappear and then reappear.

I’m on an IPhone 15, possibly with a new update the game is not compatible.

### 1/5 — Last update ruined it.

*2022-07-27, version 4.0.1*

This game has always had some AI issues, but the last (4.01) bug fix release added lots of new bugs!  I really hope the developer will take an interest in the game again, because it really is awesome.  Just not right now…🫤

### 1/5 — Unplayable on iPhone X

*2020-07-22, version 3.1.0*

The game relies on the controls at the edge of the screen, where the swiping action for the iPhone X is located, and you literally cannot play the game on any new iPhone. Seems like it would be a fun game though

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhones

*2020-07-17, version 3.1.0*

Game is awesome, but literally unplayable on an iPhone.  The user interface buttons ALL involve swiping around on the top and bottom edges of the screen.   So it’s EXTREMELY difficult to use most of the controls, since everything you do either opens the system notification tray, or activates the app switcher. 

If the developer had put the controls on the sides, all this would be moot. But top and bottom simply make the game unplayable. Maybe it works differently on iPad or something. I dunno. Just not on a phone.

### 1/5 — Unplayable on IPhone 11

*2020-05-31, version 3.1.0*

This app uses the swiping from the top and bottom as controls which triggers the command center and app changes, making the game unplayable.

### 1/5 — Sad af

*2020-03-02, version 3.1.0*

Does not work for iPhone 11 Pro Max the home slider is in the way

### 1/5 — Incompatible iPhone X et ultérieurs

*2020-02-01*

Non optimisé pour les écrans iPhone X et suivants.
Injouable.
Dommage.

### 1/5 — Play this to waste your time

*2019-11-29, version 3.1.0*

I stopped playing this and picked it back up and remembered why I left it. Deeply unsatisfying gameplay where you LOSE no matter what.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2026-01-16, version 4.0.3*

A game that has whittled down mechanics and visual representation to the essential and discarded the rest. 

I come back to it time and time again, I just want more… sequel??

### 5/5 — Extreme

*2025-09-01, version 4.0.3*

Rymdkapsel turns simplicity into something elaborate and engaging better than all of the other App Store games. It’s very enjoyable to build up your temporary structure and extremely satisfying watching the workers shoot at enemies.

I like the wave format of the game a lot. The waves of enemies show up in intervals like waves on a lake. It’s easy to use the controls and they make you appreciate having a touch screen to play Rymdkapsel.

### 5/5 — A modern classic

*2025-04-22, version 4.0.3*

It takes a lot of creativity and smarts to create a unique take on RTS that also works super well. Loved it.

### 5/5 — A new review

*2024-03-30, version 4.0.3*

I haven't played a mobile game this much ever. I'm dying for anything new. Please devs. Game modes. Updates. A sequel! Don't quit on this frustratingly wonderful game.

### 5/5 — Захватывающая игра

### 5/5 — god game

*2021-04-06*

### 5/5 — My favorite game

*2020-10-31, version 4.0.0*
