  • gameplay65 mentions

    The gameplay is generally praised for its enjoyable mechanics and addictive nature, though many players express frustration over poorly explained advanced features and the presence of paywalls that limit access to content. While the game offers a solid foundation and fun experiences, it suffers from a lack of depth in late-game scenarios and insufficient tutorials, making it challenging for new players to fully grasp its mechanics. Overall, the gameplay is engaging but could benefit from clearer instructions and more accessible content.

    • “This game has been thought about really well and gameplay is really nice.”
    • “Gameplay is simple enough to get going, but deep enough to keep playing.”
    • “Downright addicting and some of the best gameplay I have seen in a long time.”
    • “Many of the game's mechanics are poorly explained.”
    • “You have to buy access to any actual gameplay, and the tutorial teaches you basically nothing.”
    • “All in all the price of the extra content feels unjustified, the gameplay is severely limiting and finally there is no drive to replay the game.”
  • monetization37 mentions

    The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the option for one-time in-app purchases to unlock additional content. However, some users express frustration over the necessity of these purchases to access significant gameplay features, suggesting that a more ad-supported model might have been preferable. Overall, while the game is praised for its quality and lack of constant ads, concerns about its reliance on in-app purchases and the potential for a cash grab remain prevalent.

    • “No ads!”
    • “Not one bit of pay to win, no ads, amazingly built.”
    • “To get all content after the first map you need to pay 5 pounds... which is nothing for a nice game like this... no ads plus offline, what else do you want? Go buy the damn game.”
    • “Amazing game destroyed by in-app purchases. I would've been satisfied a lot more if it was just pay to play for a decent fee, but I guess the marketing team wasn't as good as the game designers.”
    • “I wouldn't recommend this game; it starts off fun but quickly degrades into a cash grab.”
    • “Just another cash grab mobile game.”
  • stability31 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant issue, with users reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and glitches that severely hinder gameplay. Many players experience prolonged freezing when transitioning between planets or accessing various game features, making it nearly unplayable at times. While the game shows potential and is enjoyable in short bursts, the persistent bugs and performance problems detract from the overall experience.

    • “Just reinstalled this a couple of days ago and there are some weird glitches when changing planets and accessing the stellar map. The main problem is the research tab, which is compressed, making it nearly impossible to identify the skills.”
    • “The game barely works; it lags a lot and freezes often.”

    • “Lots of fun and replayability.”

    • “Not every planet having an atmosphere would add more realism to the game.”
    • “I wish there was a possibility to create custom games where I could decide the number of planets, opponents, and the type of planets, such as those mostly without atmosphere or mostly friendly and rich.”
