Love this game, our only critique is that you cant listen to something else while playing this game.
Absolutly love this game, just we request a fix on the special ships. Can u make it better by actually playing as that faction? Like the Malgrog (is it like that?) once u play that ship can we also play as the trolgars? Like just change the ship looks when we select it And one last thing….. Can u guys try to put co-op modes in the game? Thanks for making this game!
This is an interesting game. Surprisingly easy to get into despite how expansive it is. The strategy, the customization, the tactics! Its all here, regardless if it doesnt make perfect sense.
Bro, we love this game. Im curious if yall can make a Star Wars the clone wars version of this game?
We only have a few hours in this but Im already satisfied with our purchase.
We love the game so far. It has good replayability to it, as each map is randomly generated. We also like that you can play each game completely differently. Good for both speed running and space role play. Really cool mechanics. Our only quarrel is with the tutorial, because certain important things are either not covered or covered very briefly, so you gotta experiment with the controls a lot to figure out what is what. An example of this is the ship purchasing and formation setting, as it just briefly explains purchasing a ship and does not at all cover formation setting. However, once you get the hang of things, the game gets really fun really fast.
On the iPad this game is just stupendous. We have played this every single day for months!
This game is dope af. We’ve had it for several years and we still play it regularly.
Got this game a couple weeks ago, and loved it – unfortunately the latest iOS updates makes it completely unplayable. It crashes constantly now. A real bummer since the game was amazing for the short time we could play it. update Latest patch appears to have fixed the issue and Im back to scour the heavens for scrap and upgrade points. Trolgars beware!
This game is still a fun classic, idk if we’re just getting older or if most of the new app store games just aren’t fun anymore. This still hits the spot after all these years.
Update – 2 years later and still one of the best games in the App Store. Provides amazing depth with a truly simple interface. We’ve seen some complaints that its too hard and that is fair, it IS hard. If you are having trouble starting out, upgrade fighter bays early to provide more ships faster. Strategically, stick close to your base sectors for both easy repairs and easy fights with assists from the bases. Just be aware that each lost turn eats away your experience award at the end of the game. We’ve never seen this game featured and it’s a shame. This is an amazing mobile game. It features compelling fleet management both tactically and strategically. The overall game has a rogue like feel. The mechanics are simple and easy to execute on a touchscreen. The strategic layer offers real choice in building, equipping and upgrading your small fleet. Tactical combat also offers real challenge as you maneuver for advantages and make critical targeting choices. Highly recommend.
It is a difficult game but thats why we like it. We keep picking this game up when Im bored. Had it on Android and just bought it again for iPhone its that good. It is simple yet challenging. Not for everyone, you gotta like a challenge.
Amazing game with unlimited replay value. The Devs have created an exceptionally balanced reward system that makes you feel like you really earn your ships without making it feel like the next one is unreachable. There arent enough games like this out there without a pay to win system. Keep up the good work and we look forward to new updates.
This game has one of the smoothest and most action packed rts gameplay on iOS. Bugbyte has created a space rts masterpiece it just needs a sandbox!!!!!!! We would pay upwards to 20+ just to have an update that includes sandbox.
This game is great. Its a solo, roguelite, space adventure where youre up against one of the types of enemies, which changes what strategy youll want to use. As you progress in character level, youll unlock new ships, figure out different tactics, and get further and further. Another great thing about this game is that you can stop at any time! Wether you simply pause it or close it, you can re open right back where you were. The only thing we dont like is there seems to be a content drought right now. Did devs put the game on the shelf? 10/10, deserves more love.
For some reason it hits the spot for such an inexpensive and not well known title, Its a Rogue like top down RTS with a sci-fi space flair, we enjoy it so much we have bought it on at least four different devices, we do not regret those purchases we would throw more money at this company if we didnt already own their other offerings. Somehow they have made such a rewarding yet surprisingly simple game,I think maybe because we’ve been searching for a game like this for a very long time and this scratches that its perfectly that is likely why we just cant get enough but regardless its worth your money and if you like sci-fi RTS is with rogue like flavor this is just the absolute top of the pile best in class, Its pretty cheap for what it offers but you wont regret it. PS. We very much want to knock offs copies with the added features just more games like this very badly.
Interesting game. Frustrating with the severe handicaps but very strategy based. Human weapons could use a little boost or upgrade costs could be reduced. Other than that it is a fun game and you will kill your battery playing it for hours and hours lol. Overall 4/5 because of the constant dying until youve unlocked the destroyer ship which makes it much easier.
The game seems decent but has a sharp learning curve and lacks appropriate tutorials.
Its unbalanced, easy is too hard and too difficult to level up. This isnt s PC game you sink 100+ hours in, shouldnt be so tough to level up to buy better ships and the ships are very weak. It seems like youre suppose to die and start over every few minutes, which is a first for a real time strategy game. And cloud save is broken, wants a email and password? Just use game center, thats what it is for, or facebook or twitter or anything else. If we could get a refund we would.
Its fun for 4 minutes or so but the balance is so bad its not entertaining in any sense if combat or exploration.
After the much needed update we’re back playing again! Can’t wait for Battlevoid 2! ———- we really wanted to like this game. Fix them, and this would be so much fun! This is more like a beta. So many bugs. The game doesn’t save your progress or skill from game to game so you can’t level up and get better ships. The system map doesn’t let you scroll up half the times. Oh, and you can sell equipment close the window and go back and it’s still there to sell again and again.
This is the most important updates since the introduction of endless mode. Finally the last major flaw in the gameplay has been patched out. Edit: we just re downloaded this app a year after we last played it. And two days later it gets a new update. We realize that this is completely random and should not actually add any value to our review but it has made us very happy!
Very good game wont do in depth review not our job just wish there was a insane mode where you get a ton of credits enemies numbers increased fleet size increased just more fun in general still fun without but If made available we would pay for that mode actually no need its already in sector siege.
This is the best turn based space game for really cheap. Definitely our favorite game on our phone and has been for months. If you want to have fun you need to buy this.
A premium-priced game that feels truly premium. This is NOT a mobile game. This is a desktop game that can be played on a mobile device. Yes, there’s a difference. Now with 64 bits of goodness.
Im always skeptical of games like this but this one turned out awesome. Individual ship control and weapon customization is fantastic. Its quick enough to play in a few hours.
This game is amazing. We thoroughly enjoy the game. We hope that you guys dont quit updating the game. A couple of things Id like to see added is more ships, stations, and maybe another battle station. The second being the option to choose other races and their ship designs. Overall we love the game. We appreciate all the hard work youve put into the game. We cant even imagine the amount of hours youve invested. Thank you.
As a huge fan of strategy games and also being a fan of roguelike games (as in superbly difficult yet accomplishable games), this is one our absolute favorite games. Imsay after playing it for only 2 days but it is close to being our top 1 (after faster than light). Can’t wait for the new one to come out in just a few days!! Great work BugByte.
We got this game a month ago and was very upset when we kept dying over and over again. But we really liked how this game was made so we continued to play more and more, getting better and better at the game. There is a learning curve. That’s part of the fun. But after every play through, we figured out how to better myself by unlocking new ships etc. We still have not unlocked every ship and we have probably played this game for 50+ hours. We were hesitant getting this game because we noticed there haven’t been any updates for a year! This new update today is a real treat because it shows us fans that you are still working on the game! Great job and keep updates coming out! We would definitely buy an expansion pack if you made one! Maybe a new race/new ships to unlock/new weapons? Or maybe even a fourth ship slot while u play? Maybe new weapons that can be upgraded many times instead of 4 times (per stat). Either way, please keep updates coming, no matter how small, because it gets us fans excited and hopeful that new things are to come! This is a great game and if u read this whole review, u must be interested in this game so just get it! Stop reading haha.
Fun game, we like the missions and combat. Wish you had more of a story or additional side quests plus additional weapons…. Drives us crazy you cant check the ship options/config before starting a game.
Too often, random events converge to create an inescapable death. Wouldn’t be so bad except you can’t save so when you’re dead; you’re dead. What’s the point in playing a game where every turn is a 1 in 50 chance that it’s over through NO fault of your own?
Why no iPhone X update? Also, it takes too long to add the action menu to the galactic view.
We paid for the app what do we have to do to use it?
When we started playing this game, we thought we were going to get bored because of the tutorial, but we gave it a chance and played the campaign mode. We died a lot because of many mistakes we made and the battles were all about survival and thinking of a plan what to do in order to survive and what to buy and what not to waste. Then as we get better ships, the gameplay changes as we ended up dominating the field but still had to plan ahead since our ships can still be destroyed if we got overconfident. And we still would have to think about our resources. A great game with a well thought out combat system. Our only problem was the slight repetition as we have to take over different maps and doing the same thing over and over again with different enemies. We would like if there would be one specific well-thought out map that system we could actually stay in as there would many factions going against each other as they battle off-screen. As in, a big map that evolves over time as the map progresses without the need to go to a different one. We would like to have an alliance system such as joining forces with our former enemies or going against our former allies or they betray us to go over to a different faction. We’ll like to see our allies to have their own factory to build up their army as we do the same and conquer the map. Once the map was conquered, it would be interesting to have someone in your own group to decided to rebel, and now you would have to maintain order. Another addition would be to have enemy commanders and ally commanders to have their own personality just to create some more depths because the nemesis only hunts us down and it only shows up in certain maps. Lastly, it would be interesting to command a different fleets and have them send over to different regions before the enemies shows up and strengthen their defenses. If the sequel of the game like we wanted, we would buy it without any hesitation.
We really love this game. A bit of roguelike. Awesome spaceships with upgrades. Not overly complicated to learn or play. Can play in short stints. Really excellent job by the creators.
This is perfect! You could expand on this, by adding more ship slots, invading planets, and adding boarding parties!
Man, this is one of the best hidden gems we’ve ever found in the App Store! What a steal at $.99, just got it and have been playing for an hour and it can be tough, but it is so much fun! If you are a fan of either real time strategy games or roguelikes, or if you enjoy both, then this is a must!
If you like FTL, you will like this game.
Amazing game. First time we ever bought on the App Store and it’s very amazing first purchase.
We picked this game up for .99 cents… (blatant robbery). This game should be at least $5 for the amount of content ingame, and how polished it is. This game has some ideas incorporated from FTL (another great game), as it is a rogue with many similarities, yet so different you wouldn’t even know first glance. It being a rogue game makes us much happier than we already am, since it feels like real stakes are being presented to you, knowing that you cannot fail your mission, or else. We had picked up this game on PC, the steam version, and it is worth it. BugByte, keep up the excellent work!
The description says it all but what you don’t see is the depth. On the surface, it’s a pixelated space strategy game but once the surface is peeled back; you realize that some of the best elements that make strategy games highly replayable are here! RPG, Rogue-like, Real-time, AND Turn based strategy with resource management and let’s not forget the ability to add 2 more ships(which are ALSO customizable) to your convoy. This is one of THE best strategy games in the entire App Store and it’s premium(no IAP’s, even though we wish there were DLC’s to buy) AND it’s .99 freakin’ cents! Stop reading reviews and BUY THIS GAME before you spend more on less of a game! Don’t be stupid.
Really fun game we can play in between things or just to relax. Just started playing and so far it’s one of our favorites.
After spending a lot of time feeling this game out, we’ve decided to take the time to write this review. We were sent to this game by a recommendation on a Reddit thread. We were put off at first by the relatively steep price and the moderate learning curve with poor instructions, but after an hour we really started to enjoy this game, and countless hours later we have really come to love it. The gameplay is addictive, the combat is fantastic, and it feels very polished and smooth. Not once has the game stuttered or crashed. Occasionally frustrating but does not feel unfair, and very rewarding. Something we really like is how easy the game is to stop at the drop of a hat and to jump back into hours later without loosing any progress whatsoever. The only thing we would ask for is more depth/things to do, but this could be attributed to our running out of things to do because of our 10+ playthroughs. If they dropped an expansion we would buy it immediately.
Very fun and engaging. Looking forward to more ships and weapons. :)
This is perhaps our favorite on the AppStore. This game gets it right in everything. The ships, the combat, the price. Yes it is repetitive at times, but it is still a fresh game every time you play. This game is impossible to put down. Don’t hesitate to buy this game!
Has similarities to FTL in a good way. The game has you jumping from sector to sector at your own pace, clearing missions and defeating enemy ships.
Trust us, get this game. We’ve been playing this game for over a year now and it’s still our favorite. The strategy aspect is surprisingly deep. Tons of ships to choose from and buy each with unique capabilities and features. Tons of weapons to buy and salvage from battles and upgrade. Adjust fleet formations. Each star system is unique and randomized to never be the same. 5 alien races to battle. Mini-missions, endless mode and so much more. GET THIS GAME.
