Community Insight:
All Battles and Trials crash before you can finish the event. The latest update fixed what.
Good game but we feel the battle stage is way too long to complete just to advance to the next level. 10 mins or a bit less would be ideal.
The level 8 issue was fixed. Unfortunately there are now countdown timers. That is fine in principal but these only countdown when you are actively playing and some of our timers are over 24 hours. Theres boats that can help but Im just not getting enough of those. Its still fun to squish Zerg but Ive lost the fun of developing our base. Fun little game until you get stuck. It wants a level 8 upgrade to advance. This doesnt seem to exist.
Its fun but very broken when you get to the last building upgrades and the difficulty is very unbalanced. Im wondering when theyre going to fix it. Its been 5 months already.
We downloaded the newest update and now the shop doesnt update daily and we cant get daily rewards. We dont like that the upgrade for the weapons isnt automatic like it use to be.
We understand that a free game needs revenue but playing two adds in a row is ridiculous. We would have consider paying to have the adds removed but too irritated to continue playing to see if we like it enough to pay. Watching a 30 second add and waiting for it to continue is ok.. But having that add end just to be forced to watch another is a little much 2 in a row.
Internal countdown/refresh is faulty, like the daily reward can only claim once and never refreshed, in game progress time wont continue after you leave the game, makes it useless. Progression requirements is very unbalanced, meaning your capability is far off from whats required, makes it impossible to upgrade, but this either shows they just roll out without deep calculation, or they just want ads money, either is you know.. Small timer. They just combine two existing game into one and lots of ads.
This thing really deserves five stars. Its fun to play, theyve managed to combine at least two different games into one. We just really enjoy it. The reason it doesnt have five stars from us is that this morning we paid 10 bucks to eliminate ads. They did not go away and within probably 15 minutes we were offered the opportunity to pay to eliminate ads. We checked to make sure that the previous purchase completed, and it did. We really try to make a point of paying for games that are well-developed and we enjoy. But it really bothers us that we paid the money and did not get the benefit.
AFK resource production broken, combat system broken, gear system broken, gear merging system broken. Has the potential of being a good game.
Our game for a week wont let us watch ads for upgrades this affects some other aspects .. Progression has slothed to a positive. Bummer.
All the bonuses have been nullified due due to no videos. Basically pay to play. Unless you want to sink money in the game dont bother.
We were really enjoy this game until updated. We cant equipped all items and upgrade. Please make fix and make sync game center. We can not reinstall because of lost all our data(lvl98) and items.
This game is a blast! However the developers have been increasingly upgrading the weapons which is causing our game to crash constantly.
Game is fun until level 7 or so. Level 8 needs money or farming for a week or so to get enough xp to beat, we quit here. Other things that could make it way better: More synergies between weapons/skills like other games of this type. Like Gatling + Satellite, that is awesome. Eg attack speed, bullet speed, fire should affect all weapons. Base upgrading is pretty cool. We didnt understand what a few buildings did though. Like the tv screen tower west of the food. Defense vs all bosses is the same, just run in a circle and try not to get squeezed by wall. Kinda boring. Video skill bonuses are counter productive. It bumps you up a level, but then you still have to farm the same amount of xp to get the next level. Should not affect your level, like other similar games. 15m timer for most all levels is tedius. Should vary 3,5, 8 mins for some. Trials are tedious, all with same difficulty risers. Meteors are annoying, not fun. Bug where you can just pause and unpause game to avoid them. But that gets annoying too lol. Anyways, hope yall keep improving it. Thanks for game.
We really liked this game. But now its telling us we need to upgrade something to level 8. Ive leveled up everything that we can. We saw another review that was like this from 5 months ago. The developer responded that it will be fixed in a patch that was supposed to happen 2 months ago. Why is this still happening? If this keeps up, we might have to report the app and try to get our money back that Ive spent. Very disappointing.
There are so many bugs in this game its absolutely ridiculous! We would easily give this game four stars if there was not such a massively long list of issues. It is clearly understandable that this game is given a two star rating because of the following. Here are the issues, bugs, suggestions in no particular order that we have come across ourselves and can remember: Searching for any alliance regardless of the name always results in one alliance and that is always the same alliance. Often completing trials results in no reward given or recognition that the trial was completed, Game crashes, we dont know what to call any of the resources, daily reset timing is off frequently, The gold energy resource stock number is in the wrong location off the map. Issues we deal with as an alliance leader: setting join requirements does not work at all and any player can join even if they have zero power, The application list has been giving us a notification list for 2 days, and each time we open it there are no applications, earlier we had V join requirement set to application only, and we were being notified that there were applications, but there were no applications there and therefore no new members could join, we had to switch over to the instant join option, but still get ghosted notifications for applications, settings is spelled wrong as setings, we can only type about three words in chat at a time, so we have to talk in complete sentences and still send four messages to send one message. Defeating an alliance boss gives no benefit, or reward as far as we can tell, if there is one we cannot clearly see or find anything, so what is the point???, The game is not set up with enough security thus allowing players to cheat and create free accounts where they can purchase at no cost to themselves to max out an account in A few days, sometimes rewards from defeating elites or bosses will be dropped off the map in a location that cannot be picked up, The page where you can help an alliance member is confusing to say the least, The daily mission Any recharge one times is not some thing we have been able to understand or complete yet and have searched for answers online and asked alliance members and nobody knows, the alliance boss in battle does not match the picture for the boss menu page, the Alliance boss menu page is bugged and does not correctly show players with top damage as the top two or more players stats are overlapped making them unreadable, when viewing the alliance leaderboard we cannot open an alliance to look at any details at all, we would like to be able to promote alliance members, we believe Lance members should be listed from top to bottom based on power, not by seniority, can we get more avatar options, The incorporation of the business center into the game feels like its not really part of the game, we fully upgraded all of the businesses both on the inside and outside and we can clearly understand the upgrade benefit on the inside, but could not figure out what was being gained for upgrading from the outside of a business, what is the fund page stop giving rewards at level 45 if you have a score significantly higher?, why does the evolve page stop at level 84 if levels go higher.
Ive been max level. With all gear max for days now. And there hasnt been any major update in months. Almost all update say fix stuff but what about new content.
Im having the same issues as game is stuck and we have the latest version. We need to upgrade to level 8 but there is no option to do so Update-still stuck on level 8 and the trial missions get stuck half the time after we complete them. Losing faith in this game.
Im having the same issues as game is stuck and we have the latest version. We need to upgrade to level 8 but there is no option to do so.
Its a pretty fun game, but there are too many non-skip able adds.
Is seems as the higher we get with gear upgrades and level advancements, Im getting weaker and now cant even beat levels we used to be able to beat easily. At least tell us when you completely nerf everything about player damage and increase the game difficulty.
We enjoy the game when we have some downtime. Unfortunately our game progress is stuck / halted because the game wants us to upgrade something to level 8 that doesnt exist. Its like they reskinned some of the stuff in the game and forgot this particular thing. Im pretty sure the thing Im supposed to upgrade is the main base because its the only level 7 thing left, but we have no option to do so because the images dont match. Ive looked everywhere, completed level 8 trials, and am board 11 in main mission line. Update- 1.8.0 Did not fix our problem. We still cannot progress in game.
Just installed and played for about 30 min now its actually not bad and so far not many ads either.
Only option to get rid of ads is a monthly subscription. Total garbage.
We like this game but the movement is the downfall. It gets a little bit better once you get the hover board but still the movement feels off.
Fun game, but when we finish a battle the report says we get materials needed for the market (food, drinks, etc). We do NOT receive those ingredients. We cannot interact with the market at all except to upgrade which isnt useful when we dont get the ingredients.
The game is ok if you love watching more ads then playing the game. Other than that, the game is ok.
We dont understand why you remove the ads, it was a nice option instead of spending gems. Also you cannot purchase the 9.99 $ monthly pass since the game came out.
We enjoy playing it has a lot to do. We dont tend to play games that you are forced to watch ADs but they can be skipped when its a forced ad. We would give it a higher score but the tournaments are not working correctly(Im not getting the points each match, it seems to only add points when we lose).
We bought the ads out of the game and enjoyed playing for a while bit now Im being thrown into micro transactions if we want to keep powering up. And if you dont power up you cant really thrive in the game. And we are out of other things to do. Oh and the ad option mysteriously disappeared so we think this concludes our gaming life on phones.
Pretty fun, so far our only complaint this they put the battle button in the dumbest place on the screen. We use our left thumb to navigate the dude and the huge battle button is right where our thumb goes. How could this have gone over looked.
Theyve taken so many ideas from other games that the devs have barely even made a game, they just took things from other game and crammed them all into one app.
This game could be awesome and fun sadly they have forced adds as well as incentive adds but any forced adds equals instant delete game. No reason these days to make forced advertisements games we spend a lot of money on games that understand concept and enjoy doing it as well. We hope this out but we doubt they will. They fall like all other have. Good luck on figuring this out DEVS.
When the Zergs attack we should be able to choose which one we shot.
Hate the whole rest awhile ads so only 2 stars You will get 5 if you remove them with out us having to pay for it.
We like this game. But problem with video rewards. Cant get a video.
When it gives you a chance to get a bonus the videos wont load.
Game bug: Game freezes if you leave midway and accept to return to previous battle. From then on the battles never start and the game is basically dead. Fyi.
We are unsure why the name was changed…and created a new app. The game is only like 1/4 complete, it was cool for that time but the rest they just phoned in with zero effort, no story, nothing to build, stay on the same planet etc. You know they didn't care when you can't even change your name and some guy should be fired for making a HUGE battle button right where your thumb goes to move around…like did they do any testing? Now videos don't work. You would think they would notice.
Good relaxer but a couple suggestions.if it requires more materials to upgrade, then shouldnt the gravity cart carry more materials? Its way to slow to keep taking 60 when the upgrade is asking for 680. Also, if the zerg battles are getting harder and harder, why isnt the reward/gold getting hight and higher? But overall a decent fun game to ay when we have some down time.
We do not normally write reviews. That said this is a fun game. We have spent countless hours killing time with this game. However we would have given 5 stars, if when we purchased the option to get rid of the adds. It worked. It did not we are still having to suffer through the adds. There is NO option to reach out to customer support directly from inside the game. So we are hoping the DEVs read this and fix this. Or refund the $ we spent to not have to watch the adds. Once this is done we will give you the final star.
We just wanted to give feedback to the developers. We got to the second base but now we cannot battle. When we join a battle either world 1 or 2 we get a blank screen and Im unable to do anything. We can no longer progress.
Ive beaten level 40, but Im not getting credit for its completion. Ive also gotten 3 pieces of unparalleled gear and they arent being counted in the rewards section.
Im living this game so far, but oh our god please shorten the time on the battle levels. 15 minutes is WAY TOO LONG we start to loose interest in the battle after like 7 or 8 min. You should make it more like 10 minutes at the longest.
Its a serious battery killer. Its also an ad revenue creator. The game freezes/crashes/locks up a little too often. We ended up deleting the game.
No way to link account but you can spend money if you want to risk losing it. Great game other than no support or confidence in saving your progress.
So we played few hours & there is no option to pay to remove ads at all. Deleted.
The ads are the worst. The forced ads thing wouldnt be such a big deal, but then theres an ad bar always playing on the bottom of the screen. Forced ads are scummy, having forced ads and ad bar is like scum of the scum. Change that and youll be rated better.
Switched devices and we were 2 levels lower. So we uninstalled and reinstalled and hit the restore. Nothing.
Way to many fricking ads and we cant chose to not go in to one we have to stop the ads or suffer the consequences (hint we will be toxic).
