They need to change the difficulty levels because it is way too hard even on very easy. i’m used to 4X type space games and this is horrible

Games good but some things aren’t intuitive and there’s no I nfo out there. For instance Repair Base. I want it. Don’t know how to get the option to build it. Can’t even find it through google. Researching techs..doesn’t show what level your tech is until you try to upgrade it.
Start on easy to over come any learning curves. After that enjoy!!! I suggest iPads only.... just not the same on an iPhone.
Con: Some annoying and unnecessary bugs. If fuel converter gets disconnected from network, you cannot reconnect it. You must build new one from scratch - however, you generally restart at the level of fuel you previously generated. Malocs attack frequently, requiring you to fix damage every few minutes. I assume this is intended to add challenge, but mainly it creates tedium, repetition, and excessive micromanagement. If construction station gets disconnected, you can’t reconnect it. Fairly one-dimensional game that plays the same each time. Boredom sets in quickly. Weird combination of tower defense and 4x that does neither well. Game is played in “real time”, which makes it feel longer than it really is and seems mainly filled with repetition - repeatedly playing defense against Maloc attacks. Inability to “automate “ many aspects results in a higher level of micromanagement than most are probably used to in4x games. One of the few games I regret having devoted hours to in the process of mastering it. Not in the same class as Civ or Starbase Orion. Agree with other reviewers that tutorial is not helpful. With most 4x games I check out online user groups. It is perhaps telling that I could find none, which suggests there is not a dedicated user base. I assume that like me most players soon move on to other games. There is only one way to win, and you generally just have to follow the same pattern to win each time, unless you encounter one of the bugs mentioned earlier that require you to redo prior constructions. Once you have the ark ship built, a massive Maloc attack is triggered, yet again adding to the repetitive nature of fighting those ships - the only thing of note that ever happens in the game, and it is the same over and over. Pro: Graphics are good quality and handled by an older iPad model. Most items have an “I” symbol associated which allows you to quickly go to an explanation of the item and sometimes helpful hints. While the first hour or so involves some frustrating trial and error learning due to the mediocre tutorial, after that the logic of game and interface are easy to handle. With practice one learns to handle recurrent issues, like shortage of food- prioritize colonization of food producing planets, terraform food producing planets, and research faster harvesting of food. I deleted the game but would be interested in a richer version 3 that incorporates some automation, ability to take offensive with Malocs, and perhaps additional complexity such as diplomacy or planet development.
Starting on the easy difficulty and can not get anywhere weapons platforms just set up are gone in seconds and not a enough resource to replace it start with different approaches looks like it would be great game if it would go some where
I love this game and I’ve been playing it on and off for years and I’m hoping you guys will make another one with a more advanced interface. That’s all I have no complaints. Thanks!
Writing this to get free stuff. Good game though
Much like Civilization this game is progressive. The tutorial is a simple walk through but one of the challenges of the game is to discover the different types of tools the game offers. At the beginner stage the obstacles are few and far between allowing you to discover the scope of the game’s tools without much interference. The Developer and designers should continue their work in creating more complexity but using the same model. The Universe came be expanded and the solar systems more diverse, additionally add complexity to the planets, allow for the development of cities, nations etc Overall very good job
Fun and addictive
It’s a good game. Logic is predictable after a certain point but there are no other games like it on the App Store.
Fun game I just re-found on my App list. Playing it again to pass the time.
Straight up tutorial was useless. It doesn't explain anything. I had to youtube how to do stuff and things are unclear. They starve and theres no explanation as to what planet is starving. Theres no explanation to connect pipelines i found out by accident. But after the first time playing the second will be a lot easier and better. Great concept. I tried this game years ago and i couldn't get past the first 30 mins. Much better
One of my all time favorites!
Prepare to lose hours of your like to this game 😁
I would love to be able to play this game, but it crashes when I open it. Update??
I was getting this game in hope of playing as a galactic civilization creating their own government but I couldn’t even start the game please update it with the new iOS update so i can give a better review.
Very fun
Limiting reagent is food, which you have to buy with geo’s. Just here to rate the game and get my two geos. I’d rather just pay another $10 and not have to screw with this to play honestly
It's a mini version of Stellaris in my opinion
Very fun to play
Really enjoying this so far. Nice blend of build, resource management and defense. Well worth $4.00
Lightweight, but with some nice elements, like the defense builds. Good fit for casual iPad play!
If you're looking for an accessible game this is not it. Too much manual resource management which is made more difficult by being real time. I haven't been able to get past the first battle because the beginning ships are weak and I it's not well explained how to add power to defense stations. I regret purchasing this game.
Love it.
Game play could be a little more dynamic and it would be good to be able to change the speed of play during the initial lulls in activity.
And more automation.
Best space game yet
They are buying reviews and I am tired of pop up. But cool game so far "We are NOT buying reviews. This is simply not true. And what popup are you tired of? There is ony one 'Please rate the game'-popup in it." I don't remember the wording. But I got a pop up very quickly into the game offering an in game bonus if I reviewed the game. It's not horrific but personally inducing a review with a bonus right after starting the game is a form of buying reviews. I didn't feel compelled on the games own merit to review it positively or negatively. I do like the game though. It needs more enemy ships (I have been playing on easy though)
Cool game so far!
Can be a little slow, but passes the time
It's tough just staring out, but I like a challenge. Looks promising but I'll update when I've gotten more game play under my belt.
It's a pretty good game from what I've played there's only a few things that are wrong with it
Please update the app again!
Lover
First day playing game, enjoying it but not the easiest game to get started with.
Great space builder game
Good game, tutorial is lacking and has a pretty strong learning curve, but it's a great concept
This game has all of the elements that I really enjoy...strategy, exploration, and is as easy or hard as I want for it to be. Nice work!
Fun game to waste time
Quick and easy 4X game
It's been a while since I originally purchased it, but I'll tell you: if you want a game to build an entire civilization up, this, while basic, will serve that purpose well.
I like the graphics, game in general, and space theme.
Haven't played it very long, but once I got the hang of it and was able to put up a fight against all the attacks...that's when it started to shine. Totally worth the money, you can easily get 15+ hours of entertainment from this game, and that's with focusing on the end goals. If you enjoy exploring, building, and finding everything expect a longer playtime. For the price, it's a great deal. Hell, you can spend a lot more money entertaining yourself for a few hours.
There needs to be more of a story mode
Pretty cool 4x4 space strategy game. I've had it for years and still pick it up to play through again.
Great game
I love everything about the game🖤🖤🖤🖤except for black holes😭
I generally prefer turn based 4x strategy games but this game I surprisingly fun. I would recommend it if you liked Master of Orion 1 or 2.
👌👍
