Best space adventure I have played
Tue Nov 16 2021 swagerxsI will let y’all know right now this is the best game I’ve played so far when it comes to space based combat and more I love the new galaxy system where you can explore new places and all that I have a developing storyline however I wish there was more galaxies to explore or more planets than there is right now and I hope at some point they add larger ships cause level 12 Is right around the corner for me it’s really not that hard to get their and I recommend like maybe doing a level 30 level cab and see what happens I love the fact the ships keep getting bigger and I hope you guys make him to wear their practically summer like death star sized or if that doesn’t work instead do like with this previous review had said instead of after hitting level 12 so we’re getting bigger you get smaller support craft that help you fight and battle and you could pick a battle mode that let you use that otherwise you just play at the normal level 12 level for your ship other than that this is a pretty good game I recommend it to everyone it’s not super grainy if you were really good at strategy and love managing AI to which pretty much is a premise of the game you don’t have to micromanage everything but if you learn how to micromanage AI commands and all that you can basically play this like an idol game as well.
Surprisingly a lot of fun
Wed Jan 18 2023 DigitalReb89I never expect much from mobile games. I played a lot of Clash Of Clans and Mobile Warfare or whatever it’s called. Grindy games where you build out a settlement and send armies to fight PvP and PvE. I stopped both of those when I inexplicably couldn’t access my accounts after a phone upgrade years ago. My phone remained gameless for many years. Then… Instagram targeted an ad at me for this game and it was cool enough at first glance for me to download. I started playing and then I couldn’t stop. It’s pretty well thought out and I loved the space element. I don’t love the grind but I don’t hate it either. It’s got depth and a lot of different playstyles to choose from. Building a crew is a strategy in and of itself, the options are incredibly diverse and fun to learn. There is just a lot to unpack in this little game. Unlike other tower defense games your ability to bring the pain in PvP is not limited to your level. I have been taken to school by ships 3 lvls below me due to a stacked crew and maxed out, efficient rooms. If you got an ad for this and think it looks cool give it a try. It’s the only mobile game on my phone &ipad and I don’t see that charging any time soon.
Great Game, but
Sun Oct 21 2018 SuperBeeTNTI love this game and enjoy playing it everyday, but I wish there was some way to have a faction war. Like a 3v3 or a 5v5. This may need new type of craft that could heal allies or act as a shield. I always thought the idea of a craft that your crew could board and infiltrate the enemy ship in mass numbers would be cool. Another idea would allow you to buy 2 small frigates that would fight with your ship, and have separate power and crew That would make this game completely amazing! I do wish the leveling up of your ship was easier. I seem to have gotten stuck at gold+, where the only way to level up would be to pay money or grind for 16 hours straight, and I don’t have the time for that. The nanopaint is awesome idea, but does not work at all and is a waste of Starbucks until it’s fixed, thank you for your first valiant attempt. I also really want a private faction for friends, but I don’t have enough friends to get a starbase, if possible lower the amount of people required for a starbase, that would make this game be a 6/5. This game is totally awesome. Keep up the great work! :)
Horrible backend. Would not recommend for slower devices. Fun for the first couple hours.
Wed May 15 2024 Hana Song186I’d used to play this game a few years ago- and I just recently picked it up again. It’s sad to see that the issues still haven’t changed. First of all- the metric amount of pure data and information this game needs is bloated. I’ve reinstalled this game- and it’s somehow hit the 20gb threshold on my data and Wi-Fi. The game also runs horrendously in that your phone will turn into an oven after a few minutes of playing. Seriously- it got so hot that my battery has stopped working. I’ve needed to have a fan blow against my phone it’s that scolding hot. For reference- I’m using an iPhone 11. A mobile game like this should NOT be using that many backend resources. The game has delved deep into that whole “battle pass” scheme which is quite sad… and the whole “daily shipment” and “ad blimp” flying across your ship every single minute is incredibly infuriating. Stop shoving ads down my throat. I’m deleting the game- I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Just go play a game on the computer- one that doesn’t use up all of your CPU usage and cram ads down your throat. The only good thing I’ll say is that it’s fun for the first couple hours- then the game loop sort of dwindles. The devs constantly pressure you to watch ads to speed up build times it’s infuriating.
Great game, but
Sat Aug 13 2022 hauntedpicklesThis is a really great game, and as a really big starbound fan, Im so glad a game like this exists! I do think there is a little flaw with the timing limit when attacking ships. I don’t think that it is long enough, and sometimes, its kinda unfair that if you destroy most of their ship, and they barley do any damage to yours, I feel like the player should get some sort of credit. Maybe if the time runs out, then whoever has the most rooms lost or lower HP, would loose. If it is the same, then it will then be a draw, and neither players gets rewarded. Other than that, this game is great Edit: This game also has a few bugs, whenever you are moving rooms in your ship, or if you buy a new one, the scrolling sensitivity is turned up wayyy to high. I drag the room halfway across the screen to place it, and the camera zooms 100mph all the way to the left to where the ship is out of sight, which I find very annoying. And is there a way to keep the camera still while attacking other ships instead of it tilting up and down slowly? Its very annoying when trying to target rooms when their on the top or the bottom. And as I said with the time limit, this NEEDS to be tweaked somehow. pls respond, thank you
Awesome
Wed Aug 15 2018 LalsmenI personally really enjoy base defense games like this one and Clash of Clans, but I think that this game blows all others like it out of the water! In clash of clans, you can't really control where your troops go once you place them, or which specific troops your defenses will target, but in this game, it's all you. You can choose to target individual subsystems, weapons, and even, to an extent, crew members! You can set up an ai to defend your ship, add stickers to your ship, and change the color of your ship. There is a lot of personalization, which is nice, and just so many feature that make this game a worthwhile download! 10/10 Great game!!😀 (Edit: I do have one problem with the game. One of the things that you can do with your ship, is that you can spend a substantial amount of the games premium currency, and be able to change the color of your ship. I was excited about this, and I saved up to get that. However when I did this, I found that it basically averages the color. For example I tried to do red, and it gave me orange. That is frustrating, and I hope that that could be patched, if this is fixed, I will change my review back to five stars. Please take heed to this devs! Thanks!)
Fun but needs a few tweaks
Tue Mar 24 2020 rich moneys guyFirst off let me just say that this game is really fun. I have been playing for months now and I haven’t grown out of it like I do to a lot of the games I get. But some things could be changed to make the game better. First off there needs to be way more things to buy using gas. I know to research you have to use gas but sometimes it doesn’t take up that much. At this point I am level six and I am playing as a Quantarian. Most room upgrades are like 90 k minerals and I don’t normally get as much minerals as I do gas even though all of my gas collectors and mineral miners are the same level. And let’s not forget about the mineral mining lasers that also add to my mineral collection. Another thing is that the special offers in the shop are kinda pay to win. I was destroyed by a level 5 ship because it had 2 multi- missile launchers. Overall the game is good and very fun. I recommend this game to everyone. The only things that need to be fixed is what I just explained. Great game.
Used to be fun, not anymore
Tue Apr 09 2024 EslmmThis used to be a great game with a live community, developers that listened to their playerbase. Over time, it has become more and more p2w. There are few testers that dictate the changes in the game into paths that favor their own preferred strategy, killing all others. Creativity is not appreciated. The update on April 8, 2024 was told to balance the game by implementing a rush change that affected every single strategy except teleport (telespam). Kildare's answer on this was, teleport change will come in later, and in the testing server later is anywhere between 1 month to 1.5 year. There is no system for checking these "testers" or "community managers" to ensure they don't absolutely abuse their power and disregard the opinion of members except few on top. If you disagree with them, you will get gaslight and joked with on the Discord. They already announced pss2 and had a kickstart for it. Do not start playing this dying game with really corrupt testing mechanism. Frustrated players are leaving the game day by day. Save your time and play something where you are valued. I think with the shifting focus to the new game, this is just left to scavengers to look over.
