Will this game ever get taken down from the App Store or google play i hope not it’s a good game to be honest id recommend to anyone over EVE ONLINE any day ### 4/5 — Amazing game but where are the updates? *2025-05-29, version 1.9.7* I love this game ever die ce I started recently playing but the only problem is that there are no updates ### 4/5 — Blurry graphics on iPad *2025-05-17, version 1.9.7* I like the game. But graphics. Unfortunately, I set the highest quality in options and still everything looks blurry as like the graphics isn’t optimised for large iPad screens. Images and texts both look smeared and fuzzy. A bit annoying, but I’ll try to move further. Thank you, nice game. ### 3/5 — 不更新了？ *2025-03-07, version 1.9.7* ？ ### 2/5 — User has no control *2024-09-24, version 1.9.7* Great graphics but user has almost no control of the ship/game. It is very much a point and click where the game tells you to even with auto pilot/auto nav off. Even in battle the user has no real navigational control of the ship besides the target it locks on to.The only real control the user has is picking missions and the load out of the ship. And the training tutorial is again very point and click no real control which is very easy I guess.But for a very so called in depth game and open world concept it’s not really immersive and you have no real interaction or control besides what the game tells you what to click on. Overall I would say let the user actually interact with the game and not control it for them but great graphics. ### 3/5 — Great graphics but overly complicated gameplay *2024-07-04, version 1.9.7* I suspect there are others that do this game better. Too much and unnecessary stuff takes out the enjoyment of playing the game. Sure the game makers want to make money by having lots of stuff but most isn’t compatible and becomes clutter. This makes every decision hard. So you stop making the decisions. And stop playing the game. The missions are automated. You are told what button to push and you can’t engage with the good fighting graphics. ### 4/5 — Good game *2024-02-25, version 1.9.7* Love it but when I got it, it took a lot of time😕 ### 2/5 — Doesn’t clear camera bump. *2023-10-24, version 1.9.7* I contacted devs through discord a year ago when I got my iPhone 13 Pro Max and asked for the interfaceto be fixed to clear the camera bump like it did on the iPhone X and iPhone 11 Pro Max I had previously played the game on. A year later it’s still not fixed and I contacted them again and got the same run around. Seems dumb to put out a game for iPhone and then stop supporting it for future models after 2 years. Now 4,years. I was a first day player. ### 3/5 — Missions dr *2023-01-08, version 1.9.7* It’s a cool game, but I’m stuck on level 13 and the missions have dried up. With no way to progress the game is useless. I would give it five, but without a way to progress the game is not worth the effort. It’s a genius idea. Fix this so that it’s playable. ### 4/5 — This game is pretty good *2022-07-18, version 1.9.7* The ships are pretty cool but one thing I’m bummed about is you can’t fly your own ships ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Review *2025-08-01, version 1.9.7* The game just doesn’t work at all. It says new player registration is not available or allowed on my phone and I am stuck in the game ### 1/5 — Impossible to read *2025-05-22, version 1.9.7* Looks like a good game, but there is no way of knowing because the type on the screen is about 3-4 pt and there’s no way to enlarge it. ### 1/5 — BORING *2024-11-13, version 1.9.7* Boring ### 1/5 — “Freedom” is a banned word. *2024-01-28, version 1.9.7* I tried to make character’s name “Freedom”. The game blocked it, saying “this is an invalid name due to containing sensitive words”. Then I uninstalled. Yikes. I don’t want this on my phone. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even start *2023-08-31, version 1.9.7* Kept trying to register when app started. Said my email was not valid. Doesn’t make sense. I use the email every day. ### 1/5 — Language *2023-06-12, version 1.9.7* The game is really confusing your not really sure what to do it says for 9 and over but it had some serious language not suitable for younger kids if you ask me not really fun basically the same thing over and over and it needs your email to play which I think is ridiculous so I just played as a guest which worked just fine and doesn’t need your email. My progress wasn’t lost so you should be fine. It also took forever to download not worth it 😕 ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-02-23, version 1.9.7* Started playing, reasonable but poor instructions, couldn’t update ship or character, had NO choice but to fight smugglers and failed due to lack of experience and knowledge of the game, now all that is on offer is fight the smugglers with the same result…..what ever you do is to loose and fight smugglers, total waste of time, doesn’t even deserve one star!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Liars and frauds *2023-02-21, version 1.9.7* There’s nothing I hate more than liars and frauds. This game says “initializing game engine, this doesn’t use cellular data” and yet it won’t load without it. Liars and frauds ### 1/5 — Immersion breaking *2022-11-18, version 1.9.7* For so much talent and skill put in, it is just not acceptable. Why give such offensive or odd names to cognitive neural implants??? Why have religious factions that act so odd as part of the gameplay process? Where is the logic???? ### 1/5 — The game does not even work. *2022-11-12, version 1.9.7* I had found myself unable to even make it past the tutorial because it was bugged and did not register that I had completed the tutorial stage. Error code on the tutorial. Ridiculous. If the tutorial doesn’t even work, then how are players expected to actually play the game? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — would love to play *2025-08-02, version 1.9.7* i am on an Iphone 14 and every time i try to login it says new users are not available for this platform. is the game full or something? ### 5/5 — Perfect… *2025-02-25, version 1.9.7* Perfect… ### 5/5 — Вольт *2024-02-06, version 1.9.7* Пока что нравится ### 5/5 — Loving this game! *2023-11-21, version 1.9.7* This game is getting better and keeping me interested. Awesome game!!! ### 5/5 — Dank *2023-11-20, version 1.9.7* Game is big dank. Ignore the haters. ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2023-04-16, version 1.9.7* This game is literally the best game ever. It is the equivalent of EVE Echoes/online but simpler and without pay to win. While you “can” pay you can earn everything it just takes longer. If you want a space MMO that does not take thousands of dollars and countless hours than this game is for you! The graphics are not as good as they could be but they are still outstanding. It runs good on pretty much any mobile device. There is virtually no lag and it does not feast on you battery. It is an amazing game so good job developers. 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-01-16, version 1.9.7* Just like eve online. Scratches that itch. ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-12-29, version 1.9.7* Love it ### 5/5 — Good game 🤗😜😁👌👍🏾🤙🏾 *2022-12-13, version 1.9.7* Really cool! Good graphics for a mobile game… includes A LOT of space exploration. for some reason doom and Star Wars vibes! ### 5/5 — Bad language for people probably 15 and up *2022-08-05, version 1.9.7* Please remove all of the bad language to make it more suitable for people 9 years and older. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
