1. Easy! Space fleet warfare like SF movies with simple operation! 2. Commanding freely as if it became the admiral of the space fleet! 3. Online support (only offline play is possible) 4. Overwhelming graphics and sound effects to challenge the limits of smartphones! After downloading Celestial Fleet, in just three minutes you can experience the powerful exhilaration of a 3D space fleet war! With simple rules, powerful performance, and high-speed development as victory or defeat are decided in three to five minutes, this is a real-time strategy game (RTS) that has never been seen before. The game is made exciting through real-time 3D, and the power of non-stop animated performance while playing. Due to perfect real-time 3D, this is surely a powerful space fleet battle masterpiece that will make you think it is not on a smartphone! If you have the latest device, it is possible to play the powerful space war game with high-definition (HD) images. While commanding a space fleet, aim for the annihilation of the enemy fleet and hold supremacy in the galaxy. While assessing the war situation, select the formation and direct the attack on the enemy fleet. Also supporting online matches, divide into two forces (federation and empire), and with the galaxy as your stage you can compete for power. Federation battleships and empire battleships each have their own features. With the ingenuity of each other as weapons, one can compete with global rivals for strategy and tactics. Fleet battles, combined with a real-time system and a command-type turn system, are semi-RTS. Instant decisions about such things as the timing of attacks will determine victory or defeat. It is possible to enjoy a sense of urgency just like one was actually commanding a fleet war battlefield. As one has more victories, it is possible to get more powerful space battleships. Discover your own way to organize the strongest space fleet, and your own way of fighting. As much as possible, eliminate the complex and cumbersome aspects of strategy, and focus on the tactical elements of organizing the fleet, strengthening the battleships, and battling with the fleet. If you have three to five minutes it is possible to play. Optimal for playing during a commute, etc. For mission bosses, such things are large fortresses, large bases, and the strongest large battleships are ready and waiting. - Features - (1) Breathtaking 3D action all in real time (2) Visual effect controls to match the specifications of your device (3) Awe-inspiring sound powered by the 3D audio system [OpenAL] (4) Quick battles that develop rapidly (One battle will last approximately 1 minute).

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Colony Attack at none against Celestial Fleet's shown. Colony Attack also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Celestial Fleet's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Colony Attack sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Celestial Fleet sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Celestial Fleet holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 205 and 119 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Colony Attack's written reviews are positive against 60% of Celestial Fleet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Colony Attack ships an update every 3 months, Celestial Fleet every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 2, 2026.
