### 4/5 — Been playing for years!

*2020-06-07, version 1.5.3*

Highly addictive, a good Corp will make or break it for ya.  Don’t depend on the developers to make any type of change to the game tho.  Empty promises of a long overdue overhaul.  It’s a great game but the developers have dramatically effected the player base.  If your new and looking to get it a shot.  Pm Hazard

### 5/5 — My Names 2018, xeno for life!!

*2018-03-19, version 1.5.3*

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-11-18, version 1.5.3*

The game has a nice respectful community from what I can see. I’ve enjoyed it so far - KingReg

### 5/5 — Great game to grind

*2017-10-31, version 1.5.3*

This is a great game and requires you to be social and interact with others to succeed. There is PvP and PvE. The game is completely playable as F2P, you just need to grind a bit more. An expansion will be coming out soon (December 2017 beta testing) so now is the time to join!

### 5/5 — Terrific

*2017-10-23, version 1.5.3*

This game has so much depth. There are endless possibilities and unlimited combinations of gear and battle types. Give this game a shot

### 5/5 — Awesome game

### 5/5 — still the best

*2017-06-19, version 1.5.3*

still literally the best mobile game I've ever played.  Its hard for a game to be fun as a newbie...  and still fun when you're a veteran player.  the games community is super supportive.  I have one wish...  no more servers.  just dilutes the game -maybe even combine the servers.  Keep it up spellbook team!

### 5/5 — One of my favorites

*2017-05-22, version 1.5.3*

I've been playing for quite some time. The game can get quite frustrating sometimes and quick assumptions can be made like those of the negative reviews on here due to that. TIB is one of my favorite games. It really is about teamwork in the long run and I have made some great friends on here in the years I've played. The community of TIB is magnetic. It really puts the game together. I love it. I'd suggest it to anyone. Give it a try!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-04-14, version 1.5.3*

This is an awesome game, it's cross platform as well so can play from multiple devices.

### 5/5 — If new, join gold server

*2017-04-04, version 1.5.3*

Very pvp oriented, team based game. Best mobile mmo you can ask for

### 5/5 — Good game

*2017-03-29, version 1.5.3*

If you are reading this, it means you should really download this game.

### 5/5 — Solid game

*2017-03-22, version 1.5.3*

Very solid mmo that's simple to get into but can get very complex as you wish to dive deeper. Good for people who like grinding and playing with friends. 

Gold server is the party server. Bio for life.

### 1/5 — Great game

*2020-12-25, version 1.5.3*

This game is great. It really makes you use teamwork and continually makes you think. There is strategy and it keeps you on your toes.

### 1/5 — Doomed unless fixed

*2020-11-16, version 1.5.3*

TIB is really fun and filled with some great people.  Good premise and really like the initial setup.  However, the pvp based nature of the game favors long time veterans to an extent that makes it almost unplayable as a group of 20 veterans can dictate your experience.  It is economically broken, leveling is slow and dull, and the micro transactions don’t do enough to matter other than offset massive in-game economic losses from gear being destroyed.  Lack of updates is causing the game to slowly move into two alliance factions that dictate how players play, otherwise you will be hunted to the point of permanent ruin.

-the game is not feasible unless you join a Corp (guild)
-enemy alliances can make it economically impossible to grow. 
-damage done to gear at death can financially ruin players
-your raid group can be attacked mid raid, causing failure
-obtaining gear is mostly price controlled by veteran players
-the map is too small for the amount of pvp that occurs
-no cap on levels means there are level 300 players
-farming to replenish losses is horribly boring and super slow

There are good things still and I did have fun, but in an mmo without a level cap that is pvp all the time...eventually it is doomed to prevent new players from having the rush of reaching the top.  It either needs non-pvp areas to level, redistribution of players across servers based on their level, or at least something to make it worth the thousands of hours needed to obtain a fully geared setup.  TIB is like a great indie game that was forgotten and is just ruled by those who have played it the most hours.

### 1/5 — Mythra admin will talk smack in universe about you!

*2020-05-21, version 1.5.3*

The one time I contacted an admin for something they offer, the one admin Mythra went psycho!  Apparently has a history of it.  She will also ban lists when she is angry for your entire Corp—seems odd, childish, and so unprofessional.  Not something worth spending your free time on, unless you enjoy being degraded by a power hungry mod that is a total loose cannon.  

1) Insulted me in private chat, calling me dumb. Just keep on reading, it gets better!! 
2) Who talks smack about an interaction in universe??
3) Mythra, thinks she did good and commented how she should hold herself to a higher standard—Yet, is talking smack about me the entire time to the universe chat!  That REALLY disgusted me!
4) Who punishes the entire Corp. for asking an admin a question.  
5) I left the game at the point the universe chat was giving Mythra advice to block my account for a week. 
6) Got a gut feeling to login in check.  My alliance kicked me out, because Mythra told them they would be blocked from invasions and alt lists—ultimate power thirsty move!!  Considering I never asked for for a single free item from the Corp it alliance the entire time I was there!  Interesting and oh so one sided.
7) Mythra continues being super petty; contacts all the leaders and sends them cherry picked screenshots.  Good times!

If that’s your scene, enjoy!  If you find this appalling like I did; they lost me as a player, and I’m taking my friends with me. Getting called dumb and watching this power trip is just quite unbelievable!!  The lengths she went through, wow!

Not a bad game concept, but that admin doing what they did and being allowed to is—sickening! Since all the email inquiries go to said Mythra, informing anyone that this is going on—futile.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2019-09-19, version 1.5.3*

Bad game is bad. It’s also dead, the “expansion” will never come out and the moderator Mythra abuses their mod abilities and god mode when playing the game. Mythra, get a life, you pathetic man-child.

### 1/5 — Beware the players

*2019-01-07, version 1.5.3*

Great concept, seemed really cool when I logged in, and although very hard to figure out up front, lots of interesting potential to work towards.  Totally pvp based so if you’re a low key casual player, not the game for you.  Also, player population seems highly segmented into three old alliances that seem equally desperate for new recruits as they are suspicious of outsiders!  I was recruited immediately upon first login, then several confusing sessions later summarily cast adrift because people became convinced that I was an “alt” aka spy for another alliance.  Not a fun intro to the game for a new player!  Moderators were kind but busy, obviously not much they can do about in-game politics.  Not how I prefer to spend my leisure time!

### 1/5 — Sooo bad ripoff

*2018-07-09, version 1.5.3*

Log off for awhile and everything you worked or spent on is gone

### 1/5 — This game went downhill.

*2016-02-26, version 1.3.3*

It used to be a great game. But it has fatal flaws that are slowly making this game worse and worse... The developers have gotten greedy and have made obtaining maxed out gear cost literally THOUSANDS of dollars... Thousands of dollars just to change a few variables on their server... The game is dominated by egotistical losers who have nothing to do but give every penny they earn to the developers, so that they can dominate in their little fantasy land. Being able to "grind" to get better is just an illusion, you're just cannon fodder for those that have forked out over $10,000 for their gear. The only way this game will get better is if the developers remove all the pay to win crap and substitute it with a subscription. With a free to play option, perhaps free to play until level 20, then you can't progress in level.  And they should work on improving the strategy of the game, instead of making it completely gear oriented.

If the game progresses I may come back, I spent over $700 on the game until I realized what kind of crap was going down. Thankfully I was able to sell my account to another player, although I heard they found out and deleted the account.

### 1/5 — Horribly flawed

*2016-01-16, version 1.3.3*

This game has great promise but it horribly fatally flawed.

The game requires hours of barely productive grinding once you reach level 15 in order to continue to grown.  When you attempt to work your way through those levels other players of much higher rank are allowed to kill you, setting you back anything you gained.  Unfortunately, the game is populated by scores of such low life scum that are only too happy to accomplish nothing meaningful other than to ruin your attempt to reach a level where you could engage them. 

 The game is just not worth it.

### 2/5 — Pvp and grind. No content.

*2020-02-24, version 1.5.3*

Welcome to the Infinite Grind, the all pvp p2w slogfest.

Do you like farming for ten hours to get a % of a level? When this gets into the 100’s easy?

Do you like constantly being harassed in PVP trying to get those tiny, tiny %s?

Do you like having literally nothing else to do?

Youll like it here.

If you dont want a grindfest so slow it’d put the chinese to shame coupled with contstant incessant pvp and a pay-to-win economy stay away.

The engine and core concept are great but literally nothing is done with them except make a pvp arena.

### 3/5 — Good Game, but ruled by multiboxing.

*2019-10-25, version 1.5.3*

This game has very good potential and the developers and moderators are often on and listening to the player base. It is mostly pvp focused, but it is a very relaxed game. The players are also nice, but in order to have any kind of power you need to multibox at least 3 accounts. If you are a solo player and only can play from one account you will probably have a very hard grind. P2W won’t get you very far in this game, and unless you multibox, f2ps have very little chance against players who multibox and script 10 accounts.

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2021-04-19, version 1.5.3*

Fun game to play needs more updates or game might go dead

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-07-30, version 1.5.3*

The game has a previous  generation feel, but it is very addicting and has a lot of depth.

### 5/5 — Tib

*2020-07-27, version 1.5.3*

Fun game

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2020-05-25, version 1.5.3*

No matter how hard u try you will always come back and play this game! Playing for years!

### 5/5 — Great community

*2020-05-13, version 1.5.3*

I have enjoyed this game. There’s a bit of the farming and leveling in the game, mixing of gear items to improve attack/defense as well as the fun of the hunt. 

Largely though it has a huge social dynamic that makes it great. There are new players and seasoned players and the support available for players across that range is phenomenal. 

I had left for a few years due to personal reasons, but am now back and loving it. And I’ve been welcomed back as though I never left to destroy aliens and build up my ship!

Give it a try and put some time in. Find a corporation to join that fits you and the whole experience will worth it.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2019-03-13, version 1.5.3*

This game is awesome I’ve had a good time last couple years playing this game my name is chillbill I’m from red server 💯

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-01-17, version 1.5.3*

This game has seriously changed my life and outlook on things for the better. The people in this game will leave their mark on you and you come out of it a better person. 

This game garners the labels most would avoid, boring, dead, toxic. I disagree with every single one. For the past decade the game has thrived and people can be some of the kindest (and most interesting lol) that you’ll ever meet. I dearly love the game and have been around only 4 years. 

If you haven’t tried this game, try it. You find a good Corp you’ll be hooked within hours. 

The game takes time, it’s why we love it, your hard work is rewarded in a way that is almost better than any game on the market. There’s always the option to spend $$$ to improve your gear but it doesn’t do much for you until you level and put the work in. It is the ideal hardcore game.

If you’re looking into a new game, this is a great choice, need a good Corp? Pm me in game /UCSxurn, leader of tictac, one of the best corps in game.

### 5/5 — Best Experience of a Lifetime!

*2018-06-28, version 1.5.3*

The Infinite Black has been my second home since 2012... I have played for years taken breaks saw new people saw some go away... the mods are fun and friendly, The game is fan ran and anything in this game was made by you!(players) This is the best MMO game I have played in my life... And will continue! The game is run by a small and dedicated group, amazing players, grinding game, don't buy in app purchase buy online, have fun, don't die, fight and win!

Would recommend to anyone! If you need help contact me (AirKitt)

[This version is outdated and may not work for you if you want grey or blue server... Use Red to play if you intend to use this version otherwise use version 2.0]

Good luck!

### 5/5 — Good game NOT a pay to win

*2018-06-25, version 1.5.3*

You can pay for in game currency but it is not required to win. There really is no “win” to the game, you can get to “end game” but you can work with multiple gear sets. You can(and usually do) par with other players, but pay to win? No, definitely not.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-05-10, version 1.5.3*

Get through the grind of lvl 15 and you’ll enjoy the game. The game is all about team work. Clearing invasions and fleet pvp is where the fun is.
