What Makes Colony Attack Stand Out
Colony Attack is a space mmo where you create your planet, build your fleet, explore the universe and engage in epic space battles!
As the commander of your own space colony you must prepare to fight for supremacy or simply fight for survival.
This massively multiplayer space game allows you to create everything you need to grow your space colony, build a powerful fleet of spaceships and attack other planets. As you battle for dominance you can choose to fight space pirates, attack player planets or explore asteroids, stars and other deep space wonders looking for treasure.
- Build spaceships including Fighters, Corvettes, Battleships, and the awesome Dreadnaught are ready to command.
- Develop buildings such as Sensor Arrays, Plasma Facilities, Research Centers and Armory's.
- Attack other player planets or AI planets including the Empire and Pirates, it's space warfare!
- Research to unlock powerful Shields, Armor and new ships through the tech tree.
- The Universe is populated with Planets, Asteroid fields, Debris, Nebula's and Stars to explore using specialist ships such as the mighty Freighter.
- One Universe containing every player amongst millions of stars, no more server selection.
- Play with your friends, create alliances, and top the leaderboard.
Colony Attack is one of those classic space games you will just want to keep on playing.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a timeless classic that deserves to be maintained and played for years,.
Yes the game is ran by people who have huge fleets but if devs made it easier for them by making it a more active game theyd get new users but yet again they dont care.
A really fun game Ive found (and we do love being able to see some space battles!).
This is more than a game…it serves to develop and nurture skills that can potentially bring about change for growth in the real world…we highly recommend it because it has changed us.
We used to play this game when we were into space ( 7 ) we are 13 yro and we were trying to find a good space game we saw colony attack and said that name sounds familiar so we clicked on it and sure enough it was the game we remembered but we didnt know for sure so we saw the update log and it hasnt been updated in 2 yrs. We would say update your game but we like the nostalgic feeling. Thx for the memories x3.
We were looking for Galaxy Empire. Seems thats no longer available. This game is good. Different, but good.
Please bring back dune Ryder that was a awesome game.
Its a good game, has really evolved and we hope they update it more.
We have been playing this game for many years, possibly since this games release. We originally had it on our first ever handheld device (a Samsung tablet) and playing it brings us great memories. Great gameplay and fun battle system. 5/5 would recommend.
We decided to rate the game five stars, but this game is too hard. It takes too long to build a decent fleet. Other than that, great job.
Played it for years! We simply love it, it remains a classic.
The game is one of our favorites, we have played it many years ago when we got a tablet. We know it cuts off what you can do in the end game but its still a great time waster.
The games a great game theres not much more to say there but we think the fighters are cost to many resources perhaps you could lower the resource cost of the fighter.
Decent game. Something to play to pass the time.
Can you add a new kind of ship. And make another league because many players have hit warlord or platinum already our last request is a invite button to invite people to your alliance. Other than that it a great game.
We think the graphics need to be a bit more… Optional. A low, high, and medium graphics level choice. Sry if we are a bit picky we would play longer with better graphics. We also would maybe pay just for this game to look a little better we are not trying to be mean here we know it sounds that way we just wanted to get out our thoughts on the game.
We really like this game, its graphics and overall gameplay is great. One suggestion, we think more animations should be added and updated to look better. It would really draw more people to the game.
We like this game unlike other games with troop upkeep, constant in game purchases all over your screen, and long and boring tech trees that go on and on.In this game you can have an infinitely large armada of ships and the tech tree is short and clean. Two things that we would how ever would like to is one why do we need an elite account to build cruisers and interceptors but not for the destroyers and two sometimes when you type in chat it doesnt include your entire statement Ill type a couple sentences and it doesnt load its only minor bug but just pointing that out. Keep up the good work.
Whoever is in charge of payment processing needs to know that you have double dipped in payments. We used a gift card at first and bought $9.99 worth of nanites, and it was taken with no problem, when we replaced it with a debit card, they took the payment from it as well. Very dishonest! A compensation of $9.99 worth of nanites will be an honorable thing to do. We sincerely hope that you will do the right thing. User – T.Sancho.
Not vary much to do in the game but its cool to see what the next upgrade looks like.
We like the its ok but there could be some improvements like for example the way that the attack works is your fleet goes in to battle but you dont get to watch it in real time. We think it would be better if you could. Thanks for the game please read this review.
Can you please work on making this game available on the Microsoft App Store? And can you provide more stats in-game, such as having your fleet value visible in the build screen or somewhere.
It is a very good game and we like the fact you can see the battle. That is one of the main points for us. But, we hate that you can work so hard to build a nice fleet that has 81 frigates 213 Corvettes and 123 bombers and the out of no where a guy attacks you with almost all the ships in the game. And each ship type is in the Thousands . And it wipes your ships off the playing board and all that hard work is gone. So in our opinion we think there should be a System so that pLayers can only attack players that have similar numbers. Except for like pirates and empire stuff. Otherwise its actually a really good game and we hope the developers read this so they can fix it.
We really enjoy this game but we think there are few things that could be added that would enhance the game play a lot, trade between alliance members would be extremely helpful. Planetary defenses such as orbital platforms, mines, or moon bases, that can defend or help defend and boost defender performance instead of just relying on your fleet, this might make big players think twice before just farming the crap out of new players since it wouldnt be such a cakewalk. Hospitals or maybe hollow asteroid facilities that allow ships lost in battle to be rebuilt for a portion of the cost and time like in Game of War. There are so many thing that could be updated to make this game much more enjoyable to every player. Just some thoughts. But this game definitely has a lot of raw potential.
We just want to start by saying we are in love with this game. Ive played it for so long and the community is fairly nice. Although this game is simple it keeps making come back to it. But as good as it is… It has so much potential and things that it NEEDS to improve. Im pretty disappointed that the game isnt updating it with different content that often. Not because its boring, but because it has so much more potential to it that would make it more interesting and popular. Like making new ships, different kinds of events, wars, etc. We ourselves have many ideas of what this game could have in it that would affect it greatly. And one last thing that we cant stress enough is the dissatisfaction of losing all of your ships when youre attacked and still being super vulnerable and not being able to have a safe place like a bank where you can store some extra fighters or something not a ton but enough to try and get you back up on your feet. We really dont want it to sound like we hate this game because its truly one of a kind and amazing to play.
According to latest news, the last update was about a year ago. We recommend improving the texture and content qualities if possible. Fix the modification alert! Edited: make the Distance-Time more realistic! No matter how far is the target from our planet, it always takes 5mins.
Pay to win. The person who buys biggest fleet can destroy those that takes months to build because they didnt buy extra stuff.
Devs have completely abandoned the game and its pay to win. There is literally zero chance for new players as people who pay to win come in and wipe your fleet the second your shield drops with their millions of ships vs your several thousand. Same repeat events for at least 4 years.
This game is terrible. Bad graphics.
We played this game a long time ago when it first came out. It actually looks worse now than it did then.
Another scam to get your money. We played this game a TON but one player can spam invade you over and over cause your name is kept in the mail… You can get all your fleet destroyed over and over and loose all the money you build up in the first place… Beyond a certain point it's futile to even keep playing, you're just gonna be abused for not spending real money, AND ALOT OF IT MIND YOU.
The game is pay to win, we started weeks ago and all our ships were wiped out in one attack by some autistic named M32. Some people just needs to get lives. Still toxic crap.
Ok so we get the game all excited because we thought hey this is a game where you can get multiple bases and explore the Galaxy. Wrong, you can have one base with 6 or 7 buildings. And the attack is really boring. Played it for a day now deleting it. We will re download it if you make some changes very disappointed.
Just started two days ago and so far the game is pretty straight forward: follow the missions and collect the rewards. But a lack of documentation in game (links to a website or manual) makes learning more a little difficult. For example: what's that icon mean, how do we launch recon, etc. Top down 3D and graphics are nice but we'll need to grow further to find out how the battle engines really work.
Fun but their is no sound to the notifications so we can't know when to check our phone for a report like every time we're attacked it says it happened 20 minutes ago we keep missing when we're attacked and it would be better if their were ships that had the ability to shield fighters and your colony so even if you did lose all drednaughts and battle ships you still would have your fighters or at least some way of a bank to keep ships safe like you can either have ships in a bank and just upgrade it to store some more so when we're attacked we can just use our saved ships to help us rebuild what we lost. We would also like to add that we think a cool hung that should happen is a type of ship that you can fly so if your attacked by 50 ships and you only have like 20 you can try taking them out and the enemies player with them.
So far so good. Seems like a fun game. Hope there is more to do and more action.
When you go upgrade buildings they're supposed to give you resources bonuses/increase/rate we think you need to fix some of it though.
This is a game we've played many years and it deserves to be on the front page of recommended apps if you download this game please invite friends we can make this game grow again.
This game is an Amazing little sci-fi game. Would recommend.
Extremely fun game. Would be even better if the battle view was improved.
Complicated but much fun once figured out.
We love this game but we really want more updates! We've finished everything and all we want is maybe some new upgrades, buildings, new ships, also the ability to claim empty planets would be fun.
This game needs awards. Hands down we've play lots of games like this like clash of clans come no where as close to this game hands down best mobile game.
This is the best game that is out there! Get it because it will be worth your time!!! We love the game.
All units that you send,and all the units that the enemy has, all fight all at once. It would be so cool to see battleships, frigates, fighting while you can see fighters flying around also shooting! Also, even though it says that an enemy has killed____ of your fighters, they can still be destroyed by your units. It may make a better battle scene. Thanks for reading this! ALSO, please think about vizible turrets on the frigates, battleships, carriers, and dreadnoughts. Thanks.
The game is a nice touch! Good fun concept cool theame.
So hear us out lol, this is a game where you amass a gigantic fleet so you can absolutely ruin someone else's fleet, what couldn't be more fun? Then it gets better, the bigger your fleet gets, the more enemies you make! Super addicting, 5 star worthy, and the game mechanics make it possible (within reason) for a non paying player to compete and easily excel with the pay to win community. Highly recommend this game;).
This game is easy to play and you can grow at a fair rate cheaply. Of course your chances of success increase exponentially when you break out your credit card, as in all massive multiplayer real-time strategy war games. What we like most about it is the shield. No other player can break your planetary shield for the duration you have set it for. You can sleep peacefully at night knowing you won't be attacked. See you out there! GlobalImpact.
We like it mostly, with fairly simple game play, and it's not a pay to win, plz don't stop updating it game people.
We have enjoyed this game immensely up until the point where we lost our shield and stopped getting points Not sure what caused it Otherwise it's a great game.
