### 2/5 — Designed get your money

*2026-01-21*

It’s fun for a few second occasionally.  Progression is almost non-existent.  Not much to do except wait for fleet to repair (now 25 minutes at this point, increases as you go along), then fight a battle (maybe 3-5 minutes), and wait again.  Not many enemies return to previous fighting grounds, so no grinding easy targets or easy entertainment.  Economy is funky; tough to get what you need for resources, and the other resources that are plentiful have their role but are not really useful.  Will see when this gets too boring.

### 4/5 — Update 29.7.25: Alles erledigt. Und nun?   (War: Gewohntes in neuer Umgebung)

*2025-07-29*

29.7.25: Alle 14 Raumschiffe sind Höchstlevel 62. Alles ist ausgebaut. Viermal durchgespielt. Jetzt kann ich das Spiel löschen, da es seit Jahren keine Updates gibt. Schade. Aber hatte Spaß gemacht! Dafür dann zur Belohnung jetzt 4 Sterne.(war: Funktioniert wie Champions of Avan, was voll okay ist. Ich mag die Graphiken und alles. Leider habe ich nach etwa zwei Wochen des Spielens jetzt wieder alles durch und darf auf Updates warten. Na, mal gucken. Wenn es schnell geht, gibt es auch noch mehr Sterne. Schade, dass das Ganze so schnell vorbei war.)

**Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Ihnen das Spiel und seine Grafik gefallen. Wir freuen uns über Ihren Wunsch nach mehr Inhalten. Seien Sie gespannt auf zukünftige Updates. Herzliche Grüße, EMS :)

### 2/5 — Too slow

*2025-07-17*

Not. Worthy successor

### 4/5 — Реклама

*2025-05-31*

Очень много рекламы приходится смотреть.

### 2/5 — Fun at first

*2025-05-04*

The game looks good and the first fifteen minutes are fun. After that you hit a wall where you can’t doing anything except wait to collect resources. A random enemy will spawn once a day but outside of that there isn’t anything to do.

### 4/5 — Suggest adding a skip ad feature

*2025-03-20, version 1.0.102*

Suggest adding a skip ad feature

### 3/5 — Looking for building base options and ship customization

*2024-12-31*

I just started the game graphics look great and get to battle but it’s very basic. No battle formations or unique weapons etc; also cool looking base but you don’t build it or modify it at all.

### 4/5 — Champions of Avan…in SPACE

*2024-11-22*

Very much the same so was easy to get into. Always slow to start and build up if you don’t want to buy packs. I just end up wasting time letting ads run to increase rewards, etc. Really wish for 2 things: overview map so I check that periodically, and let me buy some version with less or no ads (like I did for Vampires game).

### 3/5 — Resource Starved

*2024-11-11*

Game is overall well designed, and fun to play.  resources for upgrade and repair are scarce and progression is brick walled without cash coming into play.

### 2/5 — Nicht das was ich erwartet habe.

*2024-10-21*

Es fehlt ein wenig die Kontrolle über die wichtigsten Funktionen. 
Wie funktioniert der Kampf Modus?
Welche Kriterien zählen um zu gewinnen?
Was bringen die verbauten Module?
Ich habe auf einem iPhone gespielt. Die Texte sind viel zu klein um sie zu entziffern. 
Genauso die Kämpfe. Ein heranzoomen ist nur bedingt möglich. 
Ansonsten eine schöne Optik. Aber das reicht meines Erachtens nicht.

### 4/5 — CoA of the Future

*2024-08-27*

The game is beautiful! Good dynamics and the difficulty for those who played COA is not as challenging as it seems. It's relatively easy when you're aware of the gameplay. I'm still at the beginning, but I've already realized that I'll invest several hours to reset it.

### 4/5 — 4

*2024-07-24*

I like it except i cant save my progress because there is no login

### 3/5 — Game needs rebalancing

*2024-07-17*

I liked the fantasy game you guys make, but this game increases the difficulty of the enemies far too early and so you are stuck being incapable of beating anyone in range unless you throw all your pilots at an enemy 4-5 times. That’s a great way to make players find a better and more interesting game they can actually progress on

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2024-06-10*

The game itself is very well put together and enjoyable. The biggest issue I have with it at the moment is the lack of a way to upgrade “new” pilots and/or gain experience for all of them consistently. Once an encounter is defeated, there is a respawn of the enemies but it is very very very slow which means that it is hard to level up any new heroes or gain experience for the established ones if they aren’t strong enough to fight the available encounters. Another issue is that there are “bosses” that are INCREDIBLY over powered… they have a massive amount of health, attack, and defense where it would take days, if you are lucky, to finally wear them down. I understand that bosses aren’t supposed to be easy but a health pool of 3000 when your pilots deal a max of maybe 10 damage in a turn… seems a bit one sided.

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-05-11*

Good game

### 1/5 — Не сохраняется прогресс!

*2025-10-12*

Играл несколько дней, сделал покупку, пришлось переустановить игру и начинается игра с самого начала! Где сохранения?

### 1/5 — Deleted, no longer works.

*2025-06-01*

No longer works on iPhone 12.

### 1/5 — I love it

*2024-09-11*

Bro you did it! You made another awesome game! Thank you! I loved champions of Avalon it was amazing and took me about a week to beat. I am so grateful and thankful that you made a space game of a similar fashion. Kudos to you. If you read this please work a little bit on optimization because if I just let the game run the graphics start stuttering

after playing for a few days I want to say that there’s a problem in getting gold. I don’t want the entirety of the game to be me watching ads. In my heart I love this game and it deserves a five but in reality this game is a rip off of our time. 1 Star for incessantly forcing us to watch ads

### 1/5 — BUG

*2024-09-06*

awaken 2 heros？
but crew is locked

### 1/5 — A good game ruined by greed

*2024-08-22*

You either have to ‘pay to win’ of spend hours watching ads. Too bad. Deleted.

### 1/5 — 30 FPS ???

*2024-08-17*

not with me.

### 1/5 — мда

*2024-06-29*

Первое задание на разбудить героев, когда появилось я свернул игру, через месяц решил продолжить не могу разбудить, переустановка игры не помогает.

### 1/5 — lent illogique cher

*2024-03-21*

Le jeu est un quasi copier-coller de champions of avan leur precedent jeu qui avait deja plein de problemes et qu’ils ont abandonné.
Ils ont reussi a faire moins bien vu qu’il y a les memes problemes : des tonnes de pub sans moyen de les enlever en payant, jeu tres lent a tous les niveaux, difficulte artificielle avec les groupes qui se regenerent sur la duree, tout est extremement cher dans la boutique, l’xp distribuee au compte goutte et aucun moyen de level up ses nouveaux heros, mais Ils ont meme reussi a ne pas mettre des features endgame du precedent, resultat arrive a un certain point du ng+1 on est totalement bloqué et on ne voit pas trop ou ça pourrait mener vu qu’il n’y a pas d’objectifs.
J’imagine qu’ils vont l’abandonner comme le precedent apres quelques temps plutot que d’essayer d’en faire un jeu juste, équilibré et dont les achats donnent de la value for money.
Je vous conseille de passer votre chemin.

**Developer response:** Merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis sur le jeu. Nous sommes désolés d'apprendre votre déception vis-à-vis de votre expérience. Nous prenons tous les commentaires au sérieux car nous nous efforçons d'améliorer nos jeux et de fournir la meilleure expérience possible à nos joueurs.

Il est préoccupant d'entendre que vous avez l'impression que le jeu est une copie presque conforme de notre précédent titre avec des problèmes similaires.

Nous nous excusons pour tout inconvénient que ces problèmes ont pu causer.

Soyez assuré que nous travaillons continuellement pour répondre aux préoccupations des joueurs et améliorer l'équilibre du jeu et l'expérience globale. Votre feedback concernant les achats in-game et le manque de valeur pour l'argent est bien noté, et nous examinerons notre stratégie de tarification en conséquence.

Nous apprécions sincèrement vos commentaires et les prendrons en considération alors que nous continuons à développer et à affiner le jeu. Si vous avez d'autres suggestions ou préoccupations, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter. Merci encore d'avoir partagé vos pensées.

### 1/5 — Horrible lottery

*2024-02-15*

Saved up 300 dark matter (about $10 in the shop) by grinding missions for so long.
Finally use it to open the big premium chest.
What does the chest give? 10 repair kits.
They only cost 20 dark matter each....
What an absolute joke.
I bet it's programmed to intentionally give you bad items.

Hey devs, don't you know? Europe made it law to show the drop% chances on gachas... where's yours?

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear you're disappointed with he drop mechanics. We will pass your case on to the appropriate people for consideration of the future improvements. We appreciate your patience with this. Kind regards, EMS

### 1/5 — つまらない

*2024-02-06*

前作をコピペしただけの作品
変わったのは見た目だけ

**Developer response:** こんにちは。フィードバックをいただきありがとうございます。仕組みは前作と似ていますが、設定とストーリーが変更されており、新鮮な視点がもたらされていると思います。そうは言っても、私たちは検討のためにあなたの意見をチームに伝えます。よろしくお願いします、EMS :)
