This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. AI’s will play by player chosen constrained victory rules. Players will now start with one ship on impossible difficulty. Megabot strength has been increased. Wonder Victory now requires 9 wonders. AI will now attempt more missions per turn on Impossible difficulty . AI will now use stealth more often. The Negotiate button on the bridge view is now named “Negotiate”. Fixed the damage meter in the Fleet Overview when ship need repair.

Don’t buy. A complete waste of money. It crashes often.

This game crashes whenever you leave the main screen. I have and enjoy the laptop platform of this game but this one does not work. Save your $3.

Fun game, but…

This is a fun game for a relatively quick engagement, but it quickly gets repetitive. More importantly, today it’s just old and doesn’t work anymore. I can start a game but the OK button doesn’t register (iPad pro, iOS 18.7.2). So don’t bother until it’s fixed.

GUI is mostly frozen

I was looking forward to playing, but the GUI display is partly cut off and mostly frozen. I’ve never left a bad review before but this should be removed from the App Store because it just doesn’t work.
