Was a really fun game for the first two days and then it turns into a cash grab real quick, once you upgrade to space station lvl 5 you HAVE to spend money to progress through the game at a reasonable pace. To give a little perspective: lvl 4 station upgrade time is like 1 day and 12 hours, then you upgrade to level 5 station and it requires a 22+ day build time for upgrade. the first thing the game does after this is hit you with an ad for a $20 purchase that unlocks it all at once. Despicable.

oh my, where to start with this one... was a good game in the beginning, then after losing $100 in ships, due to a bug & getting no where with tech support, I said forget it. i gave it a few months & went back just to see how things progressed..... they progressed terribly, the new "Galaxy war" & etc system totally sucked. The entire game turned into a pay to enjoy cash grab & the mechanics got confusing & complex & very grindy instead of gaining depth which I can only assume was the point.

I really liked this game at first. The graphics are awesome and I liked the Star Trek aspect of finding new planets with life to make contact with. However, what I dont like is that even if you're a new player, players that are extremely stronger than you can still attack your fleets if you're scanning planets. It's completely unfair because you have no chance as a new player to even defend or retaliate. Don't even get me started on not being able to jump systems. Uninstalled and moving on

Dropping this from a 5 to a 1. The game has become a pay to win game. Events have become unwinnable unless you pay a lot of money. The developers don't respond in a timely fashion for errors or mistakes. Update:. Developers added some newer features and game mechanics so putting it back to 3 stars. Still the most horrible customer service ever. If you have an issue they don't respond or assume everything is perfect on their end.

I've been having a hard time trying to get the gm to fix a problem I have been having for the past month. I have a fleet that got stuck in a gravity trap ended up being able to destroy the trap but my fleet is still stuck. I rebooted it many times recalling the fleet and trying to move it with zero luck. It is stuck in a protected zone so I can't even have someone attack it. Trying to get support in game is like pulling teeth and nails.

The game has a lot of potential. It is just too "cookie cutter". All the top fleets are gold ships, all the bases are the same, there is no difference between players. The only strategy is to stack up as many ships/fleets as possible then attack. Who ever has the most, wins. Legions are the worst part. Having to wait for people to participate and only a handful are worth doing.

This game is terrible. I couldn't get anywhere, as fast as I built up some ships or resources a more powerful player would come over and wipe me out. The station jump system is confusing, and the game is beyond complicated. They need to do a reset on this game or what's the point as a new player joining in. I deleted my account and removed the game and will not be back. Response: I was still in the tutorial when it put me into the regular game and I was first attacked.

I played as a free player, so it would have been nice to see more of a variety of events that don't require you to spend money to get the good stuff. There are some very difficult items to obtain that give competitive advantages - that usually require you to pay money to get. I took advantage of all I could as a free player trying to optimize my output, definitely weighted towards pay 2 win players. Update: I quit the game - it takes too long to build ships and upgrade buildings.

Only played for about a week and so far i noticed that its is mostly recommending players to pay up. Upgrading to lvl 5 starbase takes a month to do so. If u wanna finish it quickly, paying $99.99 is the way to go. Its also pretty ridiculous how we have to pay at least $99.99 just to complete the entire daily quest. The translation is very bad. If you aren't willing to pay or wait more than a year to do something decent, then don't play. I'll update this further more when the next update comes.

I love this game, but it has a massive pay to win factor. In addition the mechanics/stats are constantly changing forcing you to change ship designs. Most the events cost more than they give causing you to drain resources. Pay for money (GEC) is the only way to finish multiple events like spend GEC, or purchase GEC. This game has a achievement for spending $1000. I hope anyone planning on getting this game is thinking twice. (Don't support this game)

Off and on player for about a year. Don't bother unless you are a more intense gamer. The graphics, gameplay and balancing are great. But if you are new or trying to build up your resources, join your local system alliance quick (if they let you) or expect to be blown up and need to spend about a day's worth of gaming repairing w/ no resource gain. Pretty much the only way to get to a safe system once targeted is to allow yourself to get destroyed to near zero.

Starting as a new player, i felt the system map was quite clunky and difficult to work with. Along with the station screen is cluttered with lots of little things that can be somewhat overwhelming. Also there were a few QOL things that only members get access to which doesnt really encourage me to play. However if they can clean up the screen, make viewing system more pleasant i could see myself returning to play

Beautiful graphic imagery for space fans. Very complex strategy system, the game can take a very long time to get down well. It can be played for free but is much better if you buy at least the super discount packs. Developers need to eat, so they charge for the game. I hate that you can really pay to win in this game, but with the right alliance, a lot of play time, and smart moves you can have a ton of fun for free. Hands down would recommend picking up a cheap pack here and there for fun.

its ok. but, there are issues. gameplay is quick, IF you purchase stuff. otherwise, it takes forever to build and grow. have contacted support about a couple things. we will see if they get resolved, before I get bored and uninstall. so after much back and forth with support, i have decided to give it a couple days. to get corrected, before i uninstall this. started off great, and went downhill quickly.

It's a slow, grinding, maintenance game, and if you're into that, you'll like it. But, the game is VERY clearly designed around IAPs, as there are many arbitrary inconveniences built in to get you to pay to avoid them. There are many, simple things that could be added to make it more fun, or easier to play, but every update is just another feature no one wants or another thing for players to buy. I could go on. If you're patient and don't mind waiting for literally EVERYTHING, play it.

I have been playing for a year now. The game has amazing potential. Unfortunatly, the quality has declined greatly. There is rarely any new content. During large events, which are highly anticipated, the game lag is so terrible, the game becomes unplayable, or the servers simply crash. Even in 2D mode, it is still difficult and there is alot of information that is not available, such as if a station is shielded. the game continues to decline in quality. this makes me sad. make nova great again!

It is a beautiful game albeit complex. I have only been playing a couple of days, but seems like a long term game, once you figure out how to use the controls. I wish the zoom was a bit easier to control. Seems a bit touchy moving about the map. Game has been a bit glitchy so you have to restart quite often but then it seems to work better for a minute.

initially addicting but that fades after 2 weeks of play. The build times and research times quickly climb to 27 days when you get to level 4 space station. Worse, you work hard to collect all the "fragments" but once you have them, then what? The fragments keep coming but there is absolutely nothing to do with them. 2 weeks is the tipping point where someone may decide to make use of in app purchases so the game loses its luster at exactly the wrong time. So much potential but tedious now

Controls take a bit to figure out. Very good graphics, decent gameplay, and a nice open world concept to boot. Like a mini Stellaris. I'd say the only issue is to take more time learning the controls. The new modules and cornerstone upgrades need a bit more detail on how they actually work. On top of that, there is a downside to these new cornerstone items. They take up a lot of space on planet scans, revenger and elite kills, and scan events. Please do change this.

Repetitive money grab. I put 2 years into this game and didn't want to uninstall because I spent money on this game. It's ok but all your hard work can be erased in a second if someone attacks you. You can rebuild but it takes forever especially if you have end tier ships, or you can spend a rediculous amount of money to get it back and then spend more to replace all the ships you lost. The ads and other events are non stop which guess what all cost at least $5-$99. Don't play this game!!!!!!!!
