Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Looks interesting. Menus open and wont close. Buggy. Also, Play 5 seconds, then everything requires a paid account. Not free to play at all.
We have submitted two feedbacks and it has been 6 weeks now with no response. Dont down load it on iPhone-3 it wont run, the last SW update was a year ago so they dont have the problem fixed.
Cant leave one, game wont evem load on iphone 12/latest updates.
If only we could pay you 5$ and play a Mars game without having it tied into a premium currency.
Tap on an icon and the game will use up your limited resources without any confirmation. Bad design.
It keep logging us out every time we go in it lets us see a little and give us a daily reward then goes to a black screen.
This is not like most simulation games and there is a serious learning curve! That being said its a game that has some very serious potential if the devs stay on top of what people want and it doesnt get too pay to win like all of the other great app based games have become.
The tutorial in is game is unbelievably boring and useless. We spent solid 10 minutes clicking on highlighted random things without actually learning anything. And theres not even a chance to skip or cancel, the only thing we can click on is the stupid show us how button.
Nothing you buy with tritanium will transfer over to new games, a game typically last 80+ days, spread across multiple phases. The gotcha system was pretty greedy to begin with 1k tritanium for 2-4 decent stuff. Since patches almost 5k tritanium and nothing but garbage. $89 usd for about 4.6k tritanium. There is almost no documentation at all, so you can spend tritanium without even knowing it. There are no warning dialogs or even cost displayed on a lot of buttons. The normal m$ currency (can be earned in game) will all have confirmation dialogs. A lot of important functionality to the game, without other players you will never even know it exist. Very bad documentation and screen layout. 0 responses from help desk after 4+ tickets sent via game. Only a system generated message saying they will get back to us soon as possible. Well its been over 1.5 months (45+ days) for a few of them, and 0 response. We think 7 days would have received at least 1 response. They just want your money, avoid this game its not that great to begin with its gotten so boring and repetitive that we only been login in a few times a day, just because we spent a bit of money and dont want to see it wasted. Horrible reason to keep playing a game lol.
As others have said, its terrible. Overly confusing and tedious. Just a button mashing simulator.
Ive been trying to use a new transporter that we purchased, but we cant…we need to purchase 38 licenses for the cost of 7.5 million, but Ive only accumulated about 1.7 million. So, our transporter has sat there for several days. When we tried to give feedback from the (in game) window that keeps opening, every attempt says Im unconnected to a server, so we cant leave any comments. This has happened about five times, even though other game functions immediately respond. So, Ive now left our comments and am pretty close to leaving the game, too.
After we read the reviews we thought that it would stink, but its really great and we cant wait to see what comes next.
Awesome but we still dont fully understand the resource collection.
Its a great game but its to complicated for us.
This is a really great game and has taken ton of our time so far!!! The only thing we would say its lacking is the fact after tutorial theres really not much around as far as information Is concerned. ALSO If youre not on PC with dedicated web browser youll miss out on some options that help greatly. That and youll be at a HUGE disadvantage to them because you cant get the artifact plug in after guild reaches 16.
So the tutorial is minimal at best. It put us on a server in Germany. Why? Who knows. Then it wants us to start an account that will cost us money. No thanks. Suggest passing on this on.
For one, this makes zero sense. It does have a tutorial but it doesnt make much sense. We cant see an objective, and two, it locked us out of our account (yes you need to make an account) and we didnt put our email in there, so now our account is gone on a game we cant even understand. We recommend finding another game, TL;DR: game is confusing and locked us out of it, find another game.
Every time we try to get in a server it gets stuck in eleven percent and then crashes we have complete connection to good WiFi and lots of memory but until its fixed this will stay as a 1 star.
It needs to be able to use offline also then we would play this game 24/7.
Too busy Design. Too hard to read. Auto Save progress didnt work. Nice concept, beyond terrible execution. They need to focus on User Experience Design rather than flashy graphic design.
You can spend $1000s just trying to keep up to be decent at this game. If youre looking for a game that doesnt take much additional funds, this isnt the one. Instead save the money and go buy all the game consoles, a couple extra TVs, and some nice gaming chairs and youll have more fun than this repetitive and boring game.
Great game. Just hoping for an app update soon, since the server was updated but that app has not. So it wants us to build buildings that we apparently cant build, and we built another that we cant use and it doesnt even have a name or anything.
No matter what username we use its taken. Dont know whats up but Im pretty sure its a glitch. We plugged in random numbers and it was taken (we did this multiple times). We tried different variations of our usual username, but no matter what we put in, it was taken (example: spaces, numbers, dashes). Looks like a really fun game though.
It's a worthy playing co-operative game. Tycoon-like but everyone has a common goal – to build the colony together and to be rewarded along the progress. We love the idea. However, one star minus in the reason of.. We used a time to get along with the interface. It's good enough to attract people but we think it can be better. Second, we think the harsh environment on Mars would make a danger sense of survival. But the game doesn't have the element to play. After all, we will recommend this game to sci-fi tycoon-like game fans.
Very good game does not cram pay to win.
We LOVE THIS GAME we LOVE TERRAFORMING.
Game has great design and ideas! However when trying to ANYTHING that will progress you. You have to have some settler account. Pay to win game with sloppy advancement mechanics.
Keeps saying it can't connect to the server. Haven't been able to resolve the issue. All our other internet games run just fine. Will provide a better review if the issue is resolved.
The game challenging and fun but it still crashes sometimes and it's a little confusing Overall it's a very well made game You should make another one like it.
After looking for Mars Colonization games for so long on the App Store we have finally found a game that LOOKED really fun and interesting with good graphics. We were really excited to play this game as we wish to be one of the first people on Mars ourselves. Unfortunately, probably one of the only things that is wrong with this app after looking at the pictures of the app, is that whenever the game starts to load, it crashes. This app looks amazing but if you fix the crashes so we can actually play it that would be nice… We do understand that this is a brand new app (as of December 3rd 2016) but if you want to get some downloads and some good reviews, we suggest you try your hardest to fix the crashes. Thank you.
After installing the last version as well as this version, we have been unable to get past the loading screen. Counts up to between 88-95% and then crashes. This is on our iPad mini running iOS 9.3.5. Made sure all other apps were closed and restarted device. Even clearing the memory prior to starting the game by holding power button then holding home button an additional 5 seconds. If anyone has any suggestions or tips on wat else we could possibly do.
The game sounds and looks interesting… But we have all the requirements and it crashes everytime we try to load it? How do you fix it.
Awesome idea just way to confusing and micro management oriented. Would be ok on for a PC game.
