Community Insight:
Provides all the charm of the original Reigns game with some interesting guitar hero vibes thrown in as well. Theres a lot of fun to be had in this game.
It is so interesting we will just play it a lot of days and its our FAVORITE FAVORITE games and you should play SO BUY IT.
Ive never seen such beautiful gaming like this on a phones screen to be exact Im sure when we learn to accept and love each other we to will be rockstars flying full thrust through the cosmos.
Its very good interesting game!! Love it.
Awesome but buggy game, having a hard time getting Atomizz and we played it in its early day.
One of the best games ever downloaded.
We remember reigns being one of the first and only games we bought for our old Samsung Tab 10.1, which we mostly got to digitally color on. Its a great game and we played it for hours despite the simple concept. We even splurged and bought the one where you play a Queen. Eventually we always end up hitting a wall but by then its more than proven itself entertaining and worth every cent. Anyone with Apple Arcade should give this game a shot. Its Amazing! And the music is really good.

So after completing the Mara planet and getting one of the endings, it seems as though when we rebooted the game to the last planet we were on before Mara. All of the passengers we had are gone although we still get the cards as though their still on, but when the sandman asks us to review our ship, and we go to passengers. Dose tells us that we have no passengers and that we can get more, but it seems that we dont run into any more passengers after. Please Fix :).
We appreciate the change from the original and the way each of the two games stick to their theme.
We absolutely LOVE this game so far, but theres one issue that makes it really annoying to play. Im red/green colorblind, so the red and green circles to show the effect of a choice are basically indistinguishable. Color settings would be greatly appreciated.
Having lots of fun with the game but we are unable to progress as all space battles when won bring up the victory result for some bunny related battle and not the results that should have occurred, and we are thus unable to get one of the guitars.
Please fix Strombos new quest line that keeps the game trapped in a The Adolescent loop. It prevents the nearly half of the game from being completed when starting from scratch. No pirates, no General, no Atomizz, no Swine, no Shepherd.
We quite like this game, but the newest Strombo update seems to have broken quite a few things such as: After ship combat ends a broken Strombo quest cutscene plays (The Adolescent) that overrides any rewards from every combat. This includes the unique guitar you could get and any quests involving ship combat, including the newly added one, possibly including another guitar quest. In general a lot of events related to Strombo just dont work, including ones before the update, and the newly added ones that do dont seem to actually advance his quest. A notable quest which seems broken is the ship combat related one as only the ending (the broken cutscene) plays. We tried to see if actually starting the quest would fix it, but there is no way to start it. Due to being unable to advance Strombos new quest his quest events seem to just repeat, making other events less likely to trigger. This makes it incredibly time consuming to figure out what still works due to the events continually taking the place of other events, as well as the fact that Stombos new events can take a while to complete. Many of these events werent easy to find in the first place, and potentially have been completely overwritten. Due to these problems quite a bit of the game is now blocked off, and the rest can be taxing and confusing to play. We would really like if they would fix these problems as we were exited to play this quest and it looks interesting.
Great game. Its glitched. You cant get the atomizz guitar now because of the bunnykin. Its bugged.
Love it. A little repetitive. But very fun.
We have always loved reigns, but this one is by far our favorite game. The music is well done, the mechanics are new and interesting. Our only gripe is that it can be easy to get lost, but then again you can always find you way again. The characters are fun and the dialogue is well written, and the art and backgrounds make us very happy. Good work all around!(this game is why we bought apple arcade :)).
Good. Much more involved than the other titles in the series. In a good way imo. But still retains the core mechanics that makes a Reigns game what it is, just adds more. Also a very different but interesting new settings compared to the others that we have played.
We AM SPACE LUFFY PIRATE OF SPACE.
A quirky, original, fun game. It could use some tutorials on the controls — we didn’t realize we could change the launch destination, for example — but maybe being a total clueless newb is the idea? At tleast add an option to change our band members/crew back to their original appearances. The Star Trek look is just annoying.
They should be a lot more difficult but give you more cash.
Lots of variety and very fun to experience all of the characters and their different personalities. Definitely worth a try if youre into games were every decision can effect the outcome in the end, plus space is awesome.
Can you add an feature where you can choose the difficulty on your game this game is way too hard and we would love a difficulty changer. Please do this thank you this is a good game.
Developed independently from the conglomerate, not independantly :) also, ive seen too instead of to used a couple of times. Good game though.
Im playing a captan of a ship known as the sandman. IM ENTERING THE SANDMAN. That is all you need to know about how good this game is.
We have been playing this game for hours and it is so much fun. Totally recommend it fi you like dystopian and hilarious games.
Get it. Beyond. Space its beyond.
Both the original and this one live up to there name and is worth getting we highly recommend this game its one of the best we have seen in ages we hope they keep up the good work.
Games good, but it takes a second to get used to especially if you played reigns first.
Its really interesting and imo better then the original theres much more to do and its easier and Im not dying every 3 years like the other one so Im enjoying this one and we hope more games come out similar to this one.
The game is an RPG with a cool storyline! If youre hesitant to get it dont be! Its hours of game play.
Everything we want in a space game. Crew management. Lots of decision making. Exploration and new people to discover. Plus the survival aspect is an even greater bonus.
A fun deep dive if you like to choose your own story.
We love the story to this game, and we have barely completed any of it. The Sandman is very amusing to us, too.
Great for unwinding. Like playing a tabletop rpg.
Its really good and we have no complaints.
Obviously its by the same people as the reign games, but this takes it to the next level. Theres more to do than just swipe (dont worry theres still swiping). But theres also cool world building and quirky mini games and all sorts of stuff to do and explore. Very cool game.
We enjoy the guitar and we like the music.
This games graphics and music are top notch with a banger story.
A twist on the classic reigns game.
We LOVE this game. So many cards,so many resurrections,GOTTA LOVE IT ALL! Im so glad we got apple arcade. We thought this game would be a waste of our time,BUT ITS MY NEW #1 FAVORITE! Thank you,developers. YOUR THE BEST! Please continue to make more video games like this. -Your Biggest Fan.
To us we find it very hard to find good and original games but this game…its very original and its enjoyable! Good game keep it up.
Love the music the world the characters the EVENTS 10/10 game bro.
(Hoping devs will see this) It is impossible to get a perfect score on the guitar that is created by the mechanic because the songs heart counter ends before the game registers that the last heart has been collected.
We love this game, but we play games on our phone with a controller and it would be so much better if it had controller support.
Original but guitar play mode is odd.
We just downloaded this game and like the settings and plot but we are stuck on the Anton part and how to play this game! We wanted to write a short review because we like it but not love it.
Im in an loop of getting thrown out the air lock even tho our crew is happy and we cant reset our data Im about to delete it forever if its not fixed.
See a lot of reviews from Reigns fans and wanted to add a different perspective. The game is so close to being exactly what we want from a mobile game – simple mechanics, easily pausable, complex strategy. The one thing that gets us stuck – its a lot of world building packed into not a lot of context. The game is SO simple and the story SO deep, that it only takes a few minutes before youre completely confused. It gets better if you stick with it, but the approach of introducing so many characters and concepts right away is extremely jarring.
We love the game but it just doesnt feel particularly polished or balanced. The only real consequence to death is losing a tiny fraction of your money, that and being teleported to the last planet you landed on. Money also quickly becomes worthless, because even though we rarely do the concerts, rarely sell things, and buy almost everything we can find, we somehow still have so much money that Ive been able to consistently empty out every shop. One of the guitars you can play, Paraglider, has a single heart at the end which seems impossible to get in a concert. Atomizz and Red Spectrum both have large groups of hearts that make the songs very inconsistent and frustrating. It might be easier to play those 2 songs however, if the screen didnt turn right before them making it much harder to judge where you should move the guitar. Another issue Ive experienced is that sometimes certain events can start happening while you are traveling to a planet, and before they finish, you reach the planet. And at the start of the game, this can be especially frustrating as you can get permanently locked out of certain Celestial Deeds (quests). Our final problem is that one time we stumbled upon a merchant ship in the interstellar void, and when we talked to the merchant to buy things, she acted like her shop was sold out, even though we hadnt bought anything from her. Like she just already had an empty shop when we stumbled upon her. Otherwise its a great game, but it can certainly get on our nerves sometimes.
