I have unlocked all the ships and weapons/equipment and left the game, I have returned to started over (that says something). What brought me back is that this is one of the best space dogfighting game in the App Store, I was hoping the game would have changed in my time away and others would have offered an alternative. Having said that, I would like the option of a cockpit view with a proper HUD, there are arrows to show you where the enemy ships are but not their direction of travel, that can make it difficult when the clock is running down and you only need one more kill but the ship you are chasing shoots by... It would also be nice to have a slightly more in depth story mode and maybe more verity of enemies (capital ships, stations etc). Overall this is a game worth playing, great graphics, responsive controls, lots of ships and gear to buy. ### 4/5 — Score button needs fixing *2019-07-08* Every time I try to tap the score button in the main menu to view my score and level, the app crashes. Please fix ### 4/5 — Great game! *2017-08-18* Love the game! Very fun, easy to play, and awesome! It would be nice if you added more content, like harder difficulty, better controls, and allied A.I., but other than that, it's five stars! ### 4/5 — Update please. *2017-08-06* Better controls and more scenarios and this would be a great game guys. ### 4/5 — Darn good *2017-08-04* Nice job ### 4/5 — Really great *2016-08-25* This game is really awesome but needs free flight mode. Also, being able to land on planets and space stations would be great. Stuff is too expensive though. ### 4/5 — A great game, but with some annoying problems. *2015-11-16, version 1.1.0* First off, the decoy button hardly ever works, and it's cost me many a mission. Please fix, 3W! Secondly, a no-worries skirmish mode or mission practice modes would be a nice addition. Other than few issues, great job! ### 5/5 — What a nice game. *2015-09-04, version 1.1.0* I find this program to be excellent in design and realism to boot. The only issue I have with this excellent game is the shaking that occurs while we speed up our spacecraft in an effort to destroy the enemy ships or asteroids. If you could fix this issue this game would be more exciting. Thank tou. ### 4/5 — So good *2015-08-24, version 1.0.6* You should be able to see prices of items (not ship upgrades) comparisons between your current location and locations within your jump/travel range. There should be an option to free roam around stations or planets and even the ability to manually (to an extent) fly between stations/planets/stars/etc. thus allowing for random run-ins with merchant ships or rogue pirates. And the last suggestion I can think of right now is have more asteroid hunting missions. Oh, one more thing, add an option for touch screen piloting. Not everybody likes using the accelerometer. Thanks Dev's. Keep up the good work and let's get some updates. ### 4/5 — Great game *2015-08-13, version 1.0.6* The only thing that I would like is that you update it for IPad Air 2 ### 4/5 — Good game *2015-08-12, version 1.0.6* Fun game. The ads are a little annoying but it is a nice game to play. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nothing happens *2019-09-03* Looked good in the App Store. Downloaded the game, but nothing ever happens. All I can do is stare at the home screen. No ship, no gigs, no instructions. Graphics look good, but poor execution. Uninstalling. ### 1/5 — It’s broken *2019-04-20* Doesn’t work! It loads, no instructions on what to do. I click on credits and it crashes. ### 1/5 — Poor Rating *2018-09-16* Okay, I down loaded this game. I even scored some points. Left the game to return with every battle option closed off to me? Why? There’s no instructions. This game is either defective or counter intuitive. Those who’ve given high ratings means you’ve played the game. I can’t even begin. Looks like a cool game by the one time I played it. Now I have to delete it. I’m using a 2nd gen iPad ### 1/5 — Controls *2016-09-18* The controls are very klunky, no explanation in how to play, no tutorial. No way to change the controls from gyro to stick. Never been a fan of gyro exclusive games. If it wasn't for that i would easily rate a 5 star. But the controls make it too frustrating so uninstalling for now. ### 1/5 — Very glitchy *2015-08-09, version 1.0.6* ...seriously? You make a selling point out of using the phone's accelerometer, and can't even figure out how to orient the game for players who don't want to hold their phone upside down? Wow. Just... wow. ### 2/5 — Controls ruin it *2020-04-03* This had the potential to be super fun, but a gyroscope only control scheme is frustrating and ridiculous. Not fun at all because of that, unfortunately. ### 2/5 — Fun hard to do *2015-06-25, version 1.0.4* This game has a good concept except the controls are horrible I can't tell what way I am going since I am in space ### 3/5 — Fun game but needs tweaking *2016-06-05* Fun to pay and build your ship. But there should be more explanations of how things work. Learning the hard way about the range of weapons and other things. Also, there is a glitch where if i use creds to buy a new part, if i close to do something like take a phone call, the creds disappear, but the new item is missing when I restart. Really annoying. ### 3/5 — Too fidgety *2016-03-04* The controls require players to be super precise, making the game unplayable. Also, the lack of a proper tutorial limits the playability of this game. ### 3/5 — S'okay *2015-09-30, version 1.1.0* How's about a little instruction page or is that asking too much? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really good *2019-03-17* Think of GoF1 but on steroids. This is that game. Also no storyline to initially string you along, and a large expansive universe, although smaller than GoF1’s ### 5/5 — Bleep. Bleep. Bleep *2018-09-16* If anyone gets past the endless bleeps when pushing the myriad of buttons surrounding a frozen space ship I would like to hear about it. Till then this useless and utterly non-intuitive frozen screen bleep maker gets deleted. ### 5/5 — Not bad *2016-11-20* Not bad. I was impressed with strike fighters so I tried this out.👍 ### 5/5 — Great space fighter game! *2016-09-09* Wow wing commander lives again! Fun to play and look at. More skins would be cool. Thanks you make owning a tablet fantastic! ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2016-09-04* This is an excellent game, great graphics, a lot of functions, engaging game play! Really enjoy it and all the tweeking one can do. The physics employed is fascinating, one actually needs to think in this game...awesome! Definitely recommend this game. Only down side is the inability to turn off ads! Would certainly pay for this. ### 5/5 — Really good *2016-05-23* A lot like the old Escape Velocity series of games. Satisfying dogfights in space. Fly missions to make money to modify your ship or buy another. ### 5/5 — Please free flight mode please *2016-04-02* Please I want free fly soooo badly please ad it ### 5/5 — Great Game *2016-03-05* It's a very good game with lots of replayability and a very good concept. Only wish it had different types of controls ### 5/5 — Great game *2015-12-07, version 1.1.0* I've been looking for a space game like this for so long I really like the type of game play it haze, never crashed, all tho I'm dis appointed that there is no free roam out side of the stations but other then that it's a great game. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2015-10-25, version 1.1.0* Just need an instruction manual. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
