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).

NetEase's first interstellar-themed tactical extraction game, combining immersive visuals and accessible gameplay to create an imaginative, futuristic interstellar world. After the First Interstellar War, the Sacrum Chu Imperium collapsed, and the Dawn Accord Organization was founded. Factions such as NOMA Shipping Group, Antonios, and Jupiter Industries rose to power, completely reshaping the galaxy into a turbulent and chaotic place. Countless star hunters have stepped onto the galactic stage. They command their own fleets, signing agreements and taking bounties from different factions as they venture into the far reaches of the endless Milky Way. You, as one of these star hunters, are living in an age of freedom, full of challenges and opportunities. Search for treasure and mysteries among the ruins scattered across star systems, deal with different factions, and complete specific tasks to obtain resources and bounties. Sometimes the galactic factions will even summon hundreds of star hunters at once to seize a massive enemy Space Station. The cosmos is a shadowed forest. As hunters seek their quarry, they may find themselves stalked instead. From every hunt, hunters emerge with treasure in hand and new technologies at their command. Will you lead your fleet to roam the endless void, Or, will you gather strength to rise from the chaos? The choice lies in your own hands, hunter. [Set course for deep space and embark on a treasure hunt] In a remote corner of the Milky Way, you, a star hunter, will control a fleet, take on a wide variety of bounty contracts and missions, and venture into the vastness of space. You will hunt for mysterious items for your employers and explore specific targets, searching for treasure and secrets in uncharted territory. Here, the possibilities are endless. Beyond the stars, what else will you discover? Only you can answer that question. [Shrouded ruins with peril at every turn] The universe is a "dark forest," and the ancient ruins of the Sacrum Chu Imperium are its most shadowed and dangerous thickets. As you steer your ship through warped rifts and veils of mist to reach the drifting ruins, you may find not the glory of civilization, but a suffocating silence and deadly temptation. Whether you continue searching for treasure or make an emergency retreat is entirely up to you. [Claim bounties and upgrade your base] Your adventure begins with little more than a small outpost in the void and a pair of Frigates at your side. By completing contracts and tasks for different factions, you'll earn rich bounties and vital resources. Return to your base to build defenses and production facilities, strengthening your fleet for the unknown dangers ahead and preparing for countless missions to come. [Build your ship and fight among the stars] Spore Fighters, Ceres Destroyers, Constantine the Great Battlecruisers, Solar Whale Carriers... Dozens of ship types and hundreds of fighters and warships, each with unique features, provide a vast range of strategic combinations. Fleets clash with striking realism in space: you can orchestrate ambushes along enemy routes or station your fleet to guard critical passages. Large‑scale, intense battles can transform entire stretches of a star system, spanning hundreds of kilometers, into no‑fly zones. [Form a Squad and hunt together] Across the postwar galaxy, factions stir in every cluster. Hunters can form Squads to take on missions together, and those who grow strong can unite with hundreds more in a vast Community, seizing airspace and territory alongside their allies. [Experience 3D cinematic combat] Experience fully rendered 3D combat with close‑up and multi‑angle views. Battles unfold like a movie, immersing you in a star‑spanning battlefield.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Star Hunter at none against Celestial Fleet's shown. Star Hunter also leads on ratings volume (7.4K vs 119) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Celestial Fleet's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 39%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Celestial Fleet sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Star Hunter sells 22 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Celestial Fleet against 4.5 for Star Hunter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Hunter has 7.4K ratings behind it against 119, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Celestial Fleet's written reviews are positive against 39% of Star Hunter's.
Celestial Fleet ships an update every 3 weeks, Star Hunter weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
