This is the lite version of Nemesis, so you can try before you buy. What is Nemesis? Nemesis is a theoretical brown dwarf star in orbit around our own sun, which may even have its own planetary system. Nemesis is also a 3D space shooter for the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. The year is 3000... humanity has extended it's domain to the farthest reaches of the solar system. The new frontier is Nemesis, a star system rich with resources. Unfortunately, no one seems to agree on who owns this new frontier. Fight for your claim in this brave new world against ruthless enemies! Gameplay modes now include a campaign mode and a death-match mode. VR headsets are now supported. While in VR mode, you can adjust: the screen size; vertical and horizontal position; the amount of parallax (that is, the space between your two virtual eyes); and whether or not your head movements are tracked. A VR headset and an external controller such as an extended gamepad are required. External controllers are also supported - both the standard profile (the one without thumbsticks) and the extended profile (the one with thumbsticks.) Our future is in your hands! Features: * Includes both a campaign mode and death-match mode. * VR headset support. * Gamepad support (both the standard and extended profiles.) * Remote Control - control Nemesis Lite 1.9 on tvOS or iOS via Nemesis Lite 1.9 running on an iOS device. (Requires wifi.) * Beautiful graphics! * Intricately rendered explosion and smoke effects. * Three playable ships. * Realistic physics. * Brutal AI. * Listen to your own music while saving humanity. * Play in first person or third person modes. * Six different skill settings, from "practice" to "ace" in death-match; 5 skill settings in campaign. * User settable kill-limit in death-match mode.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nemesis Lite at none against HedgeHop's 5. HedgeHop's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HedgeHop sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Nemesis Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
HedgeHop holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Nemesis Lite's written reviews are positive against 33% of HedgeHop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nemesis Lite ships an update every 3 months, HedgeHop monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
