Now I need to log in in line to pass and play. Constantly keep restoring purchases on the same device and the game glitching and hanging when starting without internet. I love card game and mobile game, but the hardship to even start the game that have arrived with latest update just a top of incompetence in UX. Please do better. ### 4/5 — Star Realms *2026-04-16* Игра огонь , есть версия физическая с переводом , одну звезду снял за отсутствие перевода на русский язык ### 4/5 — Great port of table game *2026-03-18, version 20260305.1.4* It’s a great port and good way to learn the rules so you can play the tabletop game well. As a digital game it’s a bit lacking. After awhile it gets boring playing with 1 deck forever. ### 3/5 — Online Play Needs Work *2026-01-27, version 20251112.1.3* I love the base game; it’s great. However, the online play needs to be tweaked. Too many people just run out the clock as much as they can which ruins the gameplay. What should take 5-10 minutes of fun, dynamic gameplay turns into stagnant boredom by clock dwellers. ### 3/5 — Great. But rankings are broken. *2026-01-22, version 20251112.1.3* I’ve been playing for a while. It is a good game. But I think ranking are broken. I’ve been at level 5 forever and even though I win games, the needles don’t move. Otherwise, good. ### 2/5 — Troubles with loading *2026-01-21* I used to like the game but since last week there is no chance to load neither online game nor “pas and play” mode. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-01-15, version 20251112.1.3* Extremely Fun Game! Haven’t had any troubles playing it would recommend entirely ### 5/5 — Great deck builder *2025-12-30, version 20251112.1.3* Fast and addicting deck builder with tons of very cheap expansions that allow you to customize how you play. Online competitive play is also fun and rewarding. ### 4/5 — Great game, outdated app *2025-12-24, version 20251112.1.3* Star Realms is a fun game. This app is getting pretty tired though and is definitely showing its age. Having to continually refresh the lobby screen to see whether your game has started is the main frustration. Generally the UI feels a bit dated and it’s sometimes hard to read text on my smaller phone. It would also be nice to have the option to move from 48hrs-per-turn to realtime mid-game if you and your opponent are both online. But as I said, it’s a fun game. ### 5/5 — The Best Deck Builder Game *2025-12-19, version 20251112.1.3* I recently played the card version of this game for the first time. Game is super solid; easy to pick up, goes by quick, and has phenomenal replay-ability. My friend and I ended up playing for roughly 12 hours in a 36 hour period. We ended up trying the mobile (normally mobile games are horrible). This mobile game is incredible. Turn based matchmaking (48 hours to make your turn). Or back and forth matchmaking. The game runs smooth without issues. I have been playing non stop and am very happy with it. If you’re on the fence, get it and spend the extra on online for you and your friends ### 5/5 — So much strategy! *2025-12-19, version 20251112.1.3* Never gets old ### 5/5 — Почти как карточный оригинал! *2025-11-27* Хорошая игра! Такая же, как и ее карточная версия. Последнее обновление глючило на моем не самом новом устройстве 6 поколения. Я было удалил игру, но решил установить снова и о, чудо! Все снова заработало хорошо! Уж не знаю, кого благодарить, может мой прошлый отзыв был прочитан или что-то еще произошло, но в любом случае спасибо! Ожидаемо, что игра только минимально играбельна без покупок. Годится скоротать перерыв. Для более лучшего опыта лучше приобрести допы. Думаю об этом, так как появилось чуть больше времени и желания. ### 5/5 — Great Game! *2025-11-26, version 20251112.1.3* I play on my computer and iPad, and the family all play the card version. Got all the expansions. One of my favorite casual, fun games. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — THE CAMPAIGNS ARE A TOTAL JOKE *2026-08-11, version 20260724.1.2* It’s a shame that the developers just don’t bother to answer any of the reviews, customer service is clearly not important. The AI cheating just has to be seen, so biased. It seems the campaigns are designed just to annoy and irritate, well done guys. ### 1/5 — Brain World *2026-08-09, version 20260724.1.2* Please get rid of Brain World, completely unbalanced card and is basically a I win button. It’s a race to who ever gets that card and who does has a 99% chance of winning. It’s to the point I just concede the game the moment someone takes that card. No strategy is needed when getting that card. Please -lease remove it from the game!!!! ### 1/5 — Game ruined by bots and AI! *2026-07-11, version 20260424.1.2* Have literally been playing this game obsessively for more than 8 years. Had a solid 55% win rate as an experienced player. Now the best i can muster is 40% over the course of as many as 150 games! Somewhat overnight this game has been taken over by bots and players using AI. This game has been my absolute go to for killing time and taking a break. So frustrating. Avoid wasting your time! ### 1/5 — Fix the reliability issue please. *2026-06-01, version 20260424.1.2* Good game when it is working. After years of not playing I came back to try it again, I forgot just how often it locks up on you and you lose turns due to it. Very erratic sadly. ### 1/5 — Rigged AI *2026-05-03* The AI pulls unimaginable hands and makes the game straight up unenjoyable. You’re playing against someone who is basically cheating as they get the perfect card pull every time ### 1/5 — Последнее обновление все сломало *2026-01-17* Последнее обновление не позволяет включить режимы арены и pass and play. Платное приложение не работает больше ### 1/5 — Shame *2025-12-01* It doesn't matter how well you play. The game decides who wins. The engine is the worst. It's a shame! Play offline. Don’t spend your time. ### 1/5 — Strange changes after update *2025-11-09, version 20251026.1.2* After a recent update, I’ve lost the ability to use expansions in my online games, and I’ve stopped getting notifications when it’s my turn. ### 1/5 — BEWARE! *2025-11-02* Just spent the last 2 weeks not able to open the game. I’ve been a daily player for many years, I reached out to customer service for help and they didn’t offer any resolution or reimbursement. Once the game started to work I wasn’t able to retrieve any of my purchases. I bought all expansions. I had to wait again for things to work them selves out on their own. Very disappointed the way I was treated as a long time loyal player. I even specifically asked for credits to make things right and their response was “no, that’s not something we do”. ### 1/5 — Great Game. Lousy bug handling *2025-10-28, version 20251026.1.2* I love the game both physical and digital. I cannot recommend it right at the moment. It currently crashes immediately after I turn it on. This followed after a long period of dark screens. The dev team must not have a very robust QA. Breaking something that was working requires special skills and a failure to keep backups. If they can get it working again I’ll give it 4 or 5 stars. I was playing all the time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever *2026-07-17* Even though I lost 9 games in a row ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2026-04-25, version 20260414.1.2* Amazing game! ### 5/5 — Long time realmer first time rater *2026-04-17, version 20260414.1.2* I nannied an 11 year old boy who taught me the card version. Then a few years later I played it a lot in the pamalamademic before realizing there’s an app!! My husband and I play it daily and I love it so dearly I’m reviewing my first app ever. ### 5/5 — Excellent game! *2026-04-06, version 20260320.1.5* Quick and strategic play. Very engaging. Recommended! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-20, version 20260305.1.4* It’s really fun and easy to learn ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-03-16, version 20251112.1.3* Bought the frontiers base game IRL because I’m hooked on how the fun this is. I endear the strategy and alternative ways to play, e.g. if I go heavy defence and resources, then later I will chose new ships and scrap lesser ones to pivot into a crazy offensive and protected deck of ships. Going to get the online version so I can join tournaments and access more of this :) ### 5/5 — Good fun! *2026-03-04, version 20251112.1.3* Great app to pass the time or challenge your brain to try new strategies. It’s nice to have the expansions available. I enjoy the pass and play feature to play with my kids and husband. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-02-09, version 20251112.1.3* I’ve been playing this over a decade. Excellent game. Architects are thorough and it’s continuously updated with new chapters/missions and cards. I love the arena, offering one time avatars for accomplishments. The foil cards are reasonably priced too if you don’t happen to win one, they are offered in the store to purchase. I still look forward to playing this game almost every day. ### 5/5 — Great deck builder *2026-02-05, version 20251112.1.3* I was gifted a hard copy of this game and liked it so much I bought a huge expansion. Definitely easy to spend a lot of time on because the game play is so fun. To me, it is like dominion but more fun because of the rotating “market” and ability to attack each other. ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-01-28, version 20251112.1.3* Highly addictive deck builder, ye be warned! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
