Land on a planet, find an entrance to a space station, and battle aliens, robots and hazardous environments using your deck of cards. Key features: ] Endless variation – Every game plays like a unique mission for your away-team – the layout is different every time. From the level layouts, to special events, and alternate paths. Every game will be unique. ] Unique card/inventory system – Your inventory is your deck of cards, every weapon, shield, or item you pick up is a card you use in battles and sits in your inventory (your deck). ] Unlockable extras – Complete challenges to unlock special Trinkets to help you in your games. Complete multiply missions to permanently unlock Buff cards, and increase your experience level to unlock special passive cards. Gameplay: Every game you play is uniquely generated from building blocks. No two levels are the same, no two game sessions are the same. As you progress through the levels you get to collect items for your inventory : weapons, shields, and dozens of other type items. Each item in your inventory is a card in your deck. Don’t want certain cards? don’t pick them up! That’s how you build your deck in this game: as you go. When you encounter aliens, you will engage with them in a card-battle: Either you or the alien will choose the first card, depending on who attacks who. And then the other picks his card. Defeat the alien, and move on to the next! Card battles are swift, and to the point. The game will randomly generate events, alternate routes and decide what effects plant-spores have on you or the aliens. Like I said: no two games will be the same!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Foretales holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Foretales has 164 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Space Grunts 2's written reviews are positive against 58% of Foretales's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Space Grunts 2 ships an update weekly, Foretales daily. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
