Aliens reset Earth by a thousand years. Win it back, then conquer the galaxy, in a single-player space strategy game with an idle merge empire behind it. FROM EARTH TO THE GALAXY Start on an Earth thrown back into its distant past. Secure it target by target, then Mars, Saturn and the Sun, and set course for star systems across whole galaxies. MERGE TO CONQUER Merge scientists and satellites into stronger producers. They earn food, energy and science every second, even while you're away, and that pays for every unit and upgrade you take into battle. DRAG, DROP, DEFEND Tap a unit card, drag it onto the battlefield and watch your squad fight. Every level is hand-made: high ground, rivers and chokepoints change the fight, and every unit has a counter. Then the bosses arrive.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Ashes at none against Ever Beyond's shown. Ashes also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Ever Beyond's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.8). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ashes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ever Beyond sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ever Beyond holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 32 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Ashes's written reviews are positive against 33% of Ever Beyond's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ashes ships an update every 6 months, Ever Beyond every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
