The community can be a bit rough at times but overall are very helpful to new players. It runs well and enjoyable space flight sim mmo. I hope to see smoother touch screen controls in the future. Games is free to play, so worth a try. Wish the game would just use the native iOS keyboard for a more clean and ease of use. ### 2/5 — need to revise it more carefully *2021-09-13, version 1.8.565* First, game has something to recommend it, but you guys need to revise it more carefully. The hands operation feel is too poor, UI is OK but it needs to be beautified, font is too common, you should choose a more appropriate style ### 5/5 — So far so good *2021-09-01, version 1.8.565* I think I love it. ### 5/5 — Fun and engaging *2021-08-26, version 1.8.565* Fun community and great game! Though wish it had even more mission variety! ### 2/5 — No MFI *2021-08-01, version 1.8.565* Said it had controller support not working though. Couldn’t make it past tutorial very painful to play. ### 5/5 — Original *2021-07-17, version 1.8.554* Original selfmade Project - Respect 👍 ### 5/5 — Underrated! *2021-02-24, version 1.8.523* This is a very underrated space game for mobile! How this doesn’t have more attention is beyond me...it’s essentially Elite Dangerous on your phone but a little easier to manage...download this game if you like space sims you won’t regret it ### 5/5 — Rating *2021-02-16, version 1.8.523* Rated ### 4/5 — Learning *2021-01-20, version 1.8.523* Learning how to navigate takes a second... but well done ### 5/5 — So far .... *2021-01-13, version 1.8.523* So far so good... I will continue to update as I progress only complaint a little hard to control trying to find the right amount of sensitivity for flight control ### 5/5 — Great game since PC *2020-12-26, version 1.8.523* Glad to have fun again on iPad. Great game! Good dev. progress in mobile version. Please keep working on it. There are a lot things to do )) Add more languages also to increase players influx. ### 3/5 — Good, but not fully optimized for iPhone XR *2020-12-08, version 1.8.523* I just downloaded the game and it’s not bad at all. But it needs a border around the game interface or optimization. ### 4/5 — Truly captain of your own ship! *2020-10-18, version 1.8.523* Unlike EVE and Second Galaxy, Vendetta gives you complete manual control of your ship and targeting systems which is awesome. The only difficulty I have is with the controls which hurt your thumbs after a while. It would be better if the dev’s used a similar control design on mobile like that of Space Armada: Galaxy Wars or gave you the option to adjust placement of the speed and steering. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — After tutorial crash *2025-05-09, version 1.8.730* After tutorial it crashes constantly can’t get it to run ### 1/5 — Ahhhh…… *2022-12-08, version 1.8.588* Virtually uncontrollable on the iPad your fingers cover controls you are supposed to use as well as trying to hold the iPad steady with no rotation, two screen joysticks would have been better than trying to hold push an not to rotate all at once ### 1/5 — 5 yıla yükleniyor *2021-05-14, version 1.8.523* 5 yıla yükleniyor sevmedim ### 1/5 — Can not find my Account *2020-06-30, version 1.8.504* I downloaded the last night and made my obligatory account. After going through the tutorial, I logged out for the day. Today, I go to log in and play some only to find my account is gone. Nadda, fini, caput, no more. I use a unique player name so other players in others game know who I am if they play the same game. So now, I am no longer able to log in to my account in this game and I am no longer able to use my trademark name because the game server has is listed as taken. Since I am not able to play this game, I have no other choice but to rate it 1 Star. ### 1/5 — Cool *2020-04-11, version 1.8.504* I’m downloading this because I like space games ok :( ### 1/5 — Awful controls no matter what *2020-03-10, version 1.8.504* Horrible on touchscreen. I bought an Xbox controller and it almost works. The buttons all do stuff. The wrong stuff. Oh! You can set custom controls, no problem! Oh. You can’t. There’s a menu. It can do stuff. Put things where you want them? Not so much. !!!Certain things go certain places. No reason. Too bad!!! *what is with this?!?!👆Not cool! That’s not custom! —————————————————————————— Other than that? It’s super confusing. This is really just a demo for a PC game. I wanted it to be awesome. It’s one of those games that I keep giving a chance occasionally, like when I got the controller. Unfortunately, it never fails to disappoint. I can’t advance without spending money and I haven’t had enough fun to justify that. ### 1/5 — Trash *2019-08-11, version 1.8.433* Controls are hard to control and tutorial is so long ### 1/5 — Çöp *2019-07-10, version 1.8.433* Çöp ### 1/5 — Nem lep be a szerverre *2019-03-20, version 1.8.433* Csinaltam felhasznalot es nem tolti be szoval koszonom, pedig elsonek mukodott egy eve volt frissitve koszonom, toroljetek ha nem foglalkoztok vele ### 1/5 — Absolutely frustrating *2019-01-27, version 1.8.433* Okay I am still stuck in the tutorial when it says land in the docking port you have absolutely no idea where you are it does not give you your ships location and it does not even tell upyou what the docking port looks like how are we supposed to know you should not have puplished without thinking off this I would download a shooter game than download this frustrating game 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — as for a deaf player. *2026-07-14, version 1.8.763* I like the be in first person shooting at bots and exploed in my very eyes. it was crazy to see exploded and also . I have some small bug issue with the gamepad when you want to navigate but direct me so other like chat . ain't what i wanted so I have to be careful what i button i hit. so it gamepad acts up . and for sppech to text is not accurate what i what wanted to say . it will say in different word. i would like to use the bluetooth keyboard on ios . i like playing on Ipad. i can see it better than using my iphone . i want to use touchscreen to type and using gamepad same . it would be nice i could use mouse and keyboard. since app on ios isn't allow it . maybe in the future . if you can let the players use bluetooth keyboard and mouse on ipad ios. thank you for reading this . I enjoy playing this . ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2026-01-16, version 1.8.754* For once a game that delivers without costing you money. It does have some paid options, but they don’t really help you get a massive upper hand. The community of good as well and very helpful. This is the closest game I have found to Privateer, which was a great game and with some more privateering options this game could be the best game on any mobile platform. ### 5/5 — Excellent community *2025-12-14, version 1.8.749* Truly a delightful game to play. The community is such a positive and entertaining aspect of the game, the devs are highly active and helpful if any issues arise, the game is full of interesting thins to do and truly has something for everyone to do and enjoy. Finding your place in the universe and learning about all the different things you can do is incredibly entertaining and often exciting. Whether you like to take it slow in games and be a miner, or you want the fast paced space fights and be a pirate, you are guaranteed to have fun in this game. All it takes is a little imagination and it can keep you entertained for years. ### 5/5 — Great Space Game *2025-03-23, version 1.8.727* Been looking for an Eve Online replacement due to the $20 sub (I know it says f2p but in order to compete in any way you definitely need sub). This game is a smaller learning curve for sure, you can sub if you want but not necessary . Really fun game ### 5/5 — W game *2025-01-03, version 1.8.719* Wish in the future premium and lite players can make truly massive ships with the current average capital ship missions right now. And normal peoples can like make goliaths and such with way easier tendency. ### 5/5 — Best game ever!!!!! *2023-07-14, version 1.8.588* Usually, I never write reviews but I seen great potential in your game in fact great graphics trade combat, and mining as a as elite dangerous player I was looking for more games just like elite. In fact, I your game reminds me just like it. I hope that you make more games like this. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-12-14* I’ve only been playing for 5-6 days but the time just fly playing this game. If you’ve ever play GOF2 and like it, this is similar but a lot deeper, lots of missions, and multiplayer, very helpful and friendly community. I barely scratched the surface but I’m totally addicted to this game. ### 5/5 — Best Space MMO *2022-09-06, version 1.8.588* Best space MMO, that's it. eve online player ### 5/5 — 1000s of hrs of fun *2022-08-27, version 1.8.588* All in all I’m liking this game a lot! I’m the kind of gamer who enjoys a grind and let me tell ya, you will grind a lot in this game. However, there are no p2w or skips available. So the grind feels really good as you don’t see others zooming past you with p2w mechanics! There are mtx in the game, but I have not had a need for them. They are mostly there for hardcore pvpers who lose lots of ships and need to rebuy their ships often. As a pve player this game offers lots of quests and progression areas be it; trading, mining, or fighting increasingly difficult ai! Easily 1000s of hours of fun ahead! 5/5 stars! If you want a space game like No man sky/Elite dangerous on mobile, this is it! ### 5/5 — Русский язык есть *2022-02-14, version 1.8.588* Русский язык добавили, но он особо и не нужен. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
