### 3/5 — Has potential

*2024-06-28*

I love this game and would play it more if it wasn’t so frustrating. Lots of features and pieces of this game are left unexplained. 

When selecting my weapons, I have no idea what each item does until it’s added to my arsenal so I have to constantly add and remove to review the features of an item. 
Also, there’s an unlock item that says “win a game games by conquering to unlock this defender” - which I assume means I need to conquer all of my opponents spaces to win. This is almost impossible to do when playing as the blue icon because there are no flying conquerors and you can’t get through the other persons capital base- so you basically have to conquer spaces across the entire world in both directions to get to both sides of your opponents area. The game ends before you can do this. 
Also, what do the different color icons mean? The weapons and unlocks change when you click each one so are these considered levels? The tutorial does not go over much more than game play. A tutorial to break down the main menus and the features would be cool. 

I also feel like I’ve purchased a bunch of skins but what do these do? I haven’t been able to figure it out. 

I enjoy this game but again, it’s frustrating to play because there’s so much information left out or up to interpretation.

### 3/5 — Good game, long load time

*2023-03-09, version 1.6*

I love the game so far (it’s why I got Apple Arcade) but the loading/log in screen takes like 5 minutes. I’m on an iPhone 14 with everything updated but it still takes me quite a while to boot up the game

### 1/5 — Just not happening

*2022-05-06, version 1.6*

I’ve downloaded this game multiple times and can’t even get past the login in screen. Wanted to try the game but can’t even do that. Not very what’s going on. I’ve waited 30 minutes and nothing happens

### 2/5 — Almost a great game…

*2022-04-07, version 1.6*

…but it’s on apple arcade. The unfortunate truth is that there aren’t many people using the service, so there aren’t enough players for a multiplayer game. The game would be a lot of fun if there was a singleplayer campaign, which there is, but a once-a-day limit gets rid of any fun it could have provided. This would be a great game if there was no limit on the singleplayer campaign!

### 4/5 — BIG NUKE GO no explode

*2022-04-02, version 1.6*

I love the concept of super weapons but please make them a bit faster so by the time the match ends you could actually use the super weapon. Other than that great game. Others are complaining about the globe ui but i think it’s a great mechanic. It allows for some stealth tactics and keeps the players in alert.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2022-03-06, version 1.6*

I like this game I like the fireballs they are better than first strike and it’s also a good game in first strike it’s like a second until the fireball is gone 5 stars

### 1/5 — Bad for beginners

*2021-12-30, version 1.6*

The red team (I forgot there name) has a super powerful rocket that if you get sent to you can’t get enough defense because you don’t get super powerful defenses and even the AI dose this strat it ends all of your games and so I can’t complete the missions to get better defense cards love the Idea Don’t like the product. Long paragraph sort need fixes to the 9 power rockets When I played as the red team I went up agents the red team as purple and they had 2 of the 9 power rockets when I had 1 of them. Last not to the devs I don’t think this should be sponsored Apple Arcade it is a unfair and cruel start for new players I will stick to KINGS LEAGUE 2. Sorry I am kind of mean but it is true.

### 3/5 — Get to 4th level and impossible AI won’t allow a win

*2021-10-20, version 1.6*

Very frustrating

### 4/5 — Really fun space battle game! A couple of things that could be improved

*2021-10-14, version 1.6*

1: Super rockets(the ones fired from your base) are too slow. I know they do a ton of damage but they take so long to make and cost so much, 30 if I remember correctly,  that they should move faster so you can actually use them before the game ends!
2: Option for longer game vs AI this is the main mode that I like to play but the games are only seven minutes long so by the time you get all set up the world explodes
3:Make easy, easy
When you select easy in the difficulty select it’s still too hard easy should be an auto win no matter what so new players can experiment with different features. Every time I experiment even on easy I normally lose which is pretty humiliating XD

**Developer response:** Hey GeneralFlynn, thank you for your feedback! We really appreciate it. I personally noted it down in our feedback form, so the devs can have a look at it.
