Make it change please **Developer response:** We are pleased that you enjoyed the app. If there is anything we can do for you, just let us know at support@vividgames.com! Have a wonderful day! ### 4/5 — No multiplayer *2021-01-08* It’s a great game and much easier than it’s free counter part but it doesn’t have a multiplayer option ### 3/5 — 멀티 모드가 없음 *2020-07-26* Full gear 버전에는 멀티 플레이(death match, tournament mod)가 없습니다. 즉 미션만 해야 하는데, 갈 수록 단조로워 지고 컨텐츠가 없다고 느껴지네요. 마치 space pioneer 일반판이 오리지널이고 풀 기어 버전은 체험판 같은 느낌이 드네요. Will you update multiplay mod (death match, tournament mod)? There is only offline mission. that make me boring. ### 4/5 — Сыровата *2020-06-24* В игре есть несбалансированный рандом апгрэйда оружия. Из-за которого золотое оружие не качается вообще. На 100+ уровне у меня не все звёзды предыдущих уровней, которые нельзя получить без прокаченного золотого оружия. А оно не качается. Собрал почти все ачивки. Оружие не качается :( золото миллионы - тратить не на что :-( ### 3/5 — Boring *2020-06-08* It was fun at first, I was hoping beating the campaign would add an actual endless mode feature, but it just repeats quest. Try adding more game modes or co-op to spice it up ### 2/5 — I feel cheated *2020-05-28, version 1.0.1* This claims to be a no-ads no-micropayment version. That it is. The cost of that... is core features are removed. No base upgrades or research, no multiplayer... just a linear campaign with fixed progression. After a dozen missions I have over 30k cash and nothing to spend it on. It's like they mindlessly cut all the best features and just pushed it for release. What a shame. ### 4/5 — Fun but kind of broken *2020-05-28* Gameplay is great. Now that it’s not free to play the money system seems to be broken though. You end up with so much extra gold with nothing to spend it on. Also every star challenge involves the same handful of guns for some reason. ### 3/5 — No in app purchases, but still not too great *2020-05-25* The game is enjoyable for the first few hours, but gets repetitive later on. I was excited when I began playing - tons of weapons, gear, and abilities to unlock - but as I progressed, the game’s shortcomings began to present themselves. You’ll unlock everything around level 40 and then you’ll be trapped in a cycle of monotony for the latter half of the game. Upgrades don’t feel rewarding, levels are copied and pasted with only minor tweaks, and the shooting mechanics are lackluster. Your gun aims itself, stripping the player of any sense of agency. Also the in game currency is handed out like candy, rendering it almost useless because you never have to decide what to spend it on. Want that upgrade? Buy it. Want this upgrade? But it. There’s no need to manage your resources sense they flow like water. Again, let me say, I enjoyed this game for a few hours, but by the end it felt quite empty, unrewarding, and tedious. Three stars for a solid two hours of content and no in app purchases, but nothing ground breaking here. ### 3/5 — Worth it for Single Player *2020-05-20* Lame there is no CoOp sad about that love the game! **Update lowered to 3 stars Can not sync across devices. Started on iPad, tried on iPhone and no dice. ### 5/5 — Better than original *2020-05-20, version 1.0.1* Played the original over 2 years ago and I felt brain washed by adds, I loved the game but I found it to be unplayable. Soon as I seen this I had to buy it and yes it’s how the game should of been in the first place, thanks devs very happy ### 5/5 — Yes! *2020-05-20* So happy they released this as a paid game. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Absolutely Incredible *2020-05-20* Gameplay is fast and addictive. I can play through a couple missions in my 10 minute break and feel like I’m making decent progress with leveling gear. One of if not the best game I’ve played on my phone in years. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad compared to online version *2023-12-24* Lot‘s of content is straight up missing like leaderboard mission or the whole base building aspect.. ### 1/5 — Coop? *2023-10-20* I bought this hoping for coop. It is mentioned in the description. Still no coop. Remove that from you description. Been a long while now, even after the devs responded and claimed they would remove the mention of coop from the description, it still claims you can unlock “coop games modes”. This is not present in this game. Disappointing to see a developer acknowledge a basic text issue in a store description (one that is misleading) and still not fix it. **Developer response:** Hi Zeek1227, thanks for the feedback! We're not sure if you are referring to the store description of Full Gear edition or the free version of Space Pioneer? In case of Full Gear, we will be removing the phrase co-op that appears once in the description and may be confusing as this edition can be played indeed only solo. Co-op is available in the free, online-only version. Let us know at support@vividgames.com if you have any questions! ### 1/5 — Coop? *2020-11-23, version 1.0.1* I bought this hoping for coop. It is mentioned in the description. Still no coop. Remove that from you description. **Developer response:** Hi Zeek1227, thanks for the feedback!

Die Missionen und Gegner Modelle wiederholen sich aber irgendwie gefühlt nach 3 Missionen wieder. Auch das die Ausrüstung stärker wird, kommt nicht grade im Spiel rüber, da die Bosse auch aus den unteren Level scheinbar mit stärker werden. Für einige Waffen findet man gar keine Verbesserungen und Manschette Trophäen funktionieren nicht, Mann soll zum Beispiel 6bosse mit einer bestimmten Waffe töten, aber es wird nichts angerechnet. Das Spiel kann noch an vielen Ecken verbessert werden. Hab jetzt auf einen Stern reduziert, da man keine Chance hat Gegenstände der Seltenheit „ galaktisch“ zu bekommen. Es werden schlicht keine Belohnungen mehr ausgegeben. ### 1/5 — Broken. Just broken. *2020-06-16* The game plays just fine, but there are many achievements that are simply impossible to earn. For example, in chapters 10 and 11, there are three missions that require using level 2 or above of some special weapons in order to earn all the stars. After 300+ planets of successful missions, all three of those weapons are still at level 1 despite needing only a single upgrade card to reach level 2. Worse, the game is no longer giving me weapon upgrade cards. So obviously, the game does not include cards to upgrade those weapons, which means it’s impossible to earn 3 stars on those missions. Worse, there is a “Trophy” that requires you to earn all stars on chapters 1 through 11, so this defect makes it impossible to earn the trophy. The game is fun and simple, but I am giving it a 1-star rating in hopes that the developers will pay attention and fix this issue...but I doubt they will. ### 1/5 — DIFFICULTY REWORK PLEASE *2020-06-15, version 1.0.1* Every time I have to beat a level, I have one or two seconds left, not including the ones that have four different objectives, and only a 30 second time score. Granted, the 30 second score is for one star, but the “suggestions” where you have to have a gun at a certain level is ludicrous, because you have to hope that you get the gun earlier enough to be able to get it in the loot pool to level it up, not even including “galactics” which to me, seem to only drop from gold achievements or star packages. If the game fixes itself for the players to somehow enjoy themselves in the RNG based lottery hole, then I’ll play again. Until then, thank you developers for the time and effort you put into it, and I just wish the game had a more balanced atmosphere for the amount of the game. ### 1/5 — 뒤로 갈수록 미션이 정말 성의가 없네요 *2020-06-14* 계속 쓰레기 총으로만 적을 처치하라는 미션밖에 없어서 할 맛이 떨어집니다. 그리고 레벨 업 보상도 정말 하찮습니다. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the insightful feedback. We are sorry that you did not enjoy the game. Please let us know at support@vividgames.com if there is anything in particular that we could improve. More gear maybe? ### 1/5 — 시간제한이 진짜 비정상임 *2020-05-29* 시간제한이 말도 안되게 짧아 **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the feedback. Could you tell us at support@vividgames.com some more about this? Do you mean that the game is too short? We'd love to know what can we improve. Thanks! ### 1/5 — 無料の劣化版 *2020-05-20* 無料版はマルチプレイが有るのに有料版はマルチプレイが無い… 武器も少なくシングルでやってもやり込み要素がほとんどなく、アイテム強化も面白味がない。 敵のAIも単調で方向キーを入れっぱなしにして敵の周りを同じ方向に回っていれば勝てる。 戦略も何も無い。 久しぶりに酷いゲームを買ってしまった。 ### 1/5 — Disgusting game *2020-05-16, version 1.0.1* This should be bought for the normal game instead of you having to do another game and you have to get a high level to get the gear and it doesn’t give you the weopons WHICH ARE GEAR!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Backbone *2025-09-20* Can you add backbone controller support? That’s going to be great I did love the game but I use joystick for playing. ### 5/5 — Muy buen juego *2024-12-19* Juego fácil rápido también está en steam ### 5/5 — Haven’t even played, I just like their sales line! *2020-12-10* One purchase at a reasonable price, no ads, entirely offline, struggling timers. That alone made me purchase. I’ll let you know how the game play goes. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your support. Your enthusiasm for our game is what motivates us to constantly improve. If you have any issues or have any suggestions related to the game, feel free to reach us on FB or via e-mail! We hope you enjoy the game! ### 5/5 — Freemium no more! *2020-07-24* This is actually playable now! I love it, thank you guys a ton! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2020-05-29* What more can I say about this game other than it’s amazing. This is how every paid game should be like. No in app purchases and totally playable offline. This game is everything the devs claim it is- and more. You need to try it for yourself. The graphics, gameplay, unlocks - There’s so much to do. Smooth controls as well. One thing I’d personally like to see in a future update is controller support, But that’s up to the devs. 10/10. Amazing job to all the developers. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — The Return of True Gaming *2020-05-25* This is the second Freemium game I’ve seen that has been released as a full game with no IAP or ads for extra bonuses. I’m so happy to see this trend and hope it continues! I’m so done with stamina, daily log ins, etc. for me, this being a single player, offline game makes it even better. The only other game I’ve seen following this trend is Vengeance RPG (an action RPG like a Diablo type game in development but with plenty of fun content already, also with no IAP. These are the types of games that deserve our support, especially with this stupid pandemic hitting many of us hard in the wallet! Thank you for making a great premium experience! I’m more than happy to support this game. It’s a heck of a lot of fun! Great controls, the ability to replay missions as much as you want, while still earning gold and upgrades on a regular basis. Very rewarding! Easy 5 stars! 🌟 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-05-22* Amazing game! Please add in In game chat when u have wifi/ online connected. ### 5/5 — Space pioneer *2020-05-21* Le jeux est vraiment cool dans l’ensemble, mais sa serait bien qu’il y est un multijoueurs ### 5/5 — This game is awesome! *2020-05-21* I love this game!!! I played the free version and that was fun but when i saw this one i had 5 dollar gift card so i went ahead and tried it and it is awesome! I small problem is that the buttons are a little small. But other wise this game is so much fun! ### 5/5 — Devs are awesome so is this game *2020-05-20* I initially bought this offline full version game and opened it up and it looked like a “p2w” free version slightly. Had me confused but I realized this is actually so awesome. It really is a full offline game - tons of random unlocks and chest rewards with rare items. It’s super generous and addictive I think more devs need to do this; release a free game with In app purchases and then a full offline version that players can pay a premium price for if they love it. Other devs in the App Store should learn from this developers monetization practices and a how polished, addictive and rewarding the full priced game is. I am beyond impressed with this one of the best App Store purchases I’ve made in years!!
