### 2/5 — Unplayable due to touch reactions

*2022-09-24*

I’ve enjoyed this game on PC, but the touch interface in the iOS port is unusable. The game will randomly react to a touch by scrolling the game map off the screen in a random direction, forcing you to hunt for the edge of the map and hope you don’t get clobbered by the AI while you’re trying to recover control.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2020-12-24*

Initially I loved the game but after playing a bit I realized that the combats are not that fair. 36 vs 33 ships will end with one fleet destroyed and the other left with 34 ships

### 3/5 — Unplayable Bug

*2018-05-09*

Love then gameplay and the planning that goes into extended campaigns against the computer and human players alike. However, there’s a bug where your screen jumps around when trying to use it; making it impossible to respond to any threat/

### 4/5 — Great game!

*2017-07-14*

Tapping to select units is a bit tricky because it only seems to detect taps if you do a quick tap. Great game otherwise!

### 4/5 — I Absolutely love this game!! (Fix for starting game below)

*2017-01-31*

This is a great strategy game with a challenging yet entertaining campaign, multiplayer for fun friend battles, and skirmish battles for when you want to just jump into a game. The UI is great, everything is very responsive and the computers are not dumb whatsoever. However, I have two issues about this game that kept me from giving it 5 stars. First, every once in a while the game won't load after showing the headphone screen. I have found that a temporary fix is to keep reloading the game. You have to let Gamecenter show its notification as the headphone screen comes up otherwise just restart the game and try again. Second, which is the worst, the game has a tendency to throw your camera across the map when you just want to move a bit and it can be very frustrating when you have enemies attacking a system and you can't respond because your camera is being put on the edge of the map every time you scroll. This problem is random but can make the game completely unplayable for me. I hope you can fix these problems soon because this is a great game.

### 4/5 — Needs some refinement

*2017-01-01*

This game is near perfect for strategy, only that it lacks a few basic elements which would drastically improve the ease of use:

1. Rally Points: ability to set a planet as the rally point for production builds, so that an armada can be built at one point, or an exposed outpost can be reinforced.

2. The text viewing on the iPhone is very small making it look like this is an iPad game ported to iPhone.

3. An in-game help page would be 'helpful'.

With these enhancements I'm sure the playability will increase, as currently these are the most notable annoyances.

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2016-12-30*

Works on iOS 9.3.2. I suspect it doesn't work on iOS 10.

### 2/5 — iOS 10.* not running

### 4/5 — Great game

### 1/5 — Geld weg !

*2015-12-28*

Nach 5 Sekunden Logo Bild, jedesmal nur Blackscreen auf dem iPad Air 2. Hab schon alles versucht. Schade.

### 1/5 — Black screen bug

*2015-12-25*

Doesn't actually work.

### 1/5 — Still doesn't work

*2015-12-21*

As every other review has pointed out, the game shows a black screen after the opening credits. I'm sure, if it worked, it'd be great, but it doesn't so I can't give it more than one star.

### 1/5 — Good initial release

*2015-12-11, version 1.0.1*

Good initial release in May, after more than half a year later we haven't gotten an update or stability for iOS9.

Please fix the code.

### 1/5 — The game won't load

*2016-05-24*

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2015-12-29, version 1.0.1*

The game doesn't load beyond the Game Center banner and the headphone recommended message. A waste of time and money until this issue is fixed. Would have loved to have given this game a positive review if only I could play it.

### 5/5 — Обожаю такие игры.

*2025-05-09*

Игра не заморачивает голову десятками параметров, как в других играх. Всё просто, но азартно, упор идет на смекалку и хитрость. Мне нравятся многие игры от этого разраба. На планшете ощущаются по другому, нежели пк версии.

### 5/5 — Why isn’t this near the top of the charts?!!

*2019-04-28*

Okay- hear me out. I love strategy games! Especially challenging ones. I keep finding myself coming back to this game. I just love how simple yet genius it is! To top it off the multiplayer is and amazing feature that you should take advantage of. Highly recommend it! If you find out that it’s buggy just uninstall it and reinstall.

### 5/5 — Love the game... It's FIXED on my 3rd G IPad

*2016-05-26*

Updated iOS to 9.3.2 and it fixed the issue of not being able to launch the game on my iPad. 

Simple enough to get the core concepts down but deep enough to make it challenging.  

I love that a game can take a while but I can't always dedicate the time.  Please add a save point feature.

### 5/5 — Great strategy game :)

*2016-04-23*

With only 3 types of shops I thought the missions would be a beeeeze.... Nope! 
So fun. Try it yourself! You won't regret it.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2016-01-02, version 1.0.1*

Really like this game.  It's helped me tremendously get through many overseas flights and long road trips!

### 5/5 — Beautiful quality strategy

*2016-01-01*

Downloaded this today. Was looking for something this good for months. Beautiful design, great meditative play so far. Immersive soundtrack and graphics.

Had two small crashes mid game. Was minor.

Congratulations to the developers, so far this is a work of art.

### 5/5 — Blah

*2015-12-06*

When i first bought this game when it came out it was properly excellent. Great game. But now it all i get is a blank screen after the opening credits.
PLZ FIX.

### 5/5 — Strategie

*2015-07-30*

Top Spiel. Es fehlen leider Mitspieler...

### 5/5 — Very Cool Game

*2015-06-08, version 1.0.1*

Really like it... Well worth the $. I can see that it would be a problem playing on the iPhone because of screen real estate. Well done!

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-06-08*

Great game.
