Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love this game for ages still a great game a decade later wish that we could have another game and we miss our previous progress but all the fun building it back up must play and we wish we had another game.
To summarize this, the game's distribution and creators are gone, long from coming back, they stopped making gaming and god who knows how, this game is still up.. There are a few recreations of this game on discord servers and on roblox if you look hard enough, almost all mobile support for newer devices is fried.
Pls dont forgot this game,make more content its best game.
We love this game its one of the best games ever made we love this game and we just recently just downloaded it back and as soon as we got, we grabbed our credit card and bought a 50$ bucks worth of crystal and regretted nothing, Until we tried to play multiplayer and every time we would try to load into a match our game would just crash. We have a IPhone 15, and would love to know why did it crash also it does feel like it just wasted 50$ bucks. Please could anyone help us.
This game is great in general and the story is great and the gameplay and weapons and gears and we want to say please continue this game its amazing and good but we feel like this game could go on more with more updates and game modes and with more special abilities like that rocket robot mech in stage one of the game but we just wanted to give our opinion about this cause we like this game we played it back when we were a kid and we like it and we just recently found the game again but ik its been 9 years since this game had a update we hope the developers can see our opinion about this thank you.
Still a fun game but sadly the server is not suported any more.
Its beautiful and its powerful.
Love this game. Got hooked with the first one! Best phone game imo addictive and love the armor choices. This is a great game.
Dude its been more than five years. Where is the third game and sorry if we were mean.
The game is hella fun especially that our bro put us on and we used to grind to get the good stuff, we do hope yall reconsider on fixing the game back up itll be an awesome come back.
Why is this game removed from the app store in China.
Ive playing this for years but this is our first IPhone, and Ive found out that multiplayer doesnt work on IPhones. We noticed that the last update was during September of 23, so Im hoping that the devs see this and fix it soon. EDIT, that update must have been a dream or something, its been 5 years.
The original StarWarfare alien invasion was way more fun but sadly isnt playable right now because of some minor bugs and issues. We love the original, this one is still fun though. 6/10.
Its been a childhood game for us we max out on first and second, but yall gave up:(.
We had so much fun playing this game when we were little it was so awesome.
This game was our childhood game, we loved it alot and nowadays we see its kinda dead so thats sad.
We loved playing this game back a couple years but then it shut down. Bring back this game it was so fun playing. Idk why people were complaining it was to complicated it wasnt so please bring back this game.
How do get our log in info ??? Game is nice just would be nice to get logged back on a your account.
This series and the call of mini series are the best game series ever. Newer games will never beat these games.
We played this game years ago, we wish there were more updates.
We absolutely loved these games when we were younger and we know we would still love them! We wish that they would bring them back and put them online again! We would love to go back to our old memories when we were 12 years old.
Hey we were wondering what it would take to get this game back going. We know hackers & all, but honestly you have been one of the most impressive game devs to us. Star warfare just doesnt compare to any other game & personally all the new games are just trash. They arent fun theyre just competitive with sweats in the game. This game just died so soon because people and complaining about how its complicated with upgrading & all. Its so simple and you have the option to look at weapons by category idk how much easier it gets. Seriously tho we would love to see this game come back to life and we know a lot of other people would. We honestly have been playing again for a bit and there werent many people, but whats odd is we see familiar names that are always playing and always have played & its always so fun competing against them or in pve. We would love to see a response, but you guys might not even be active anymore :(.
So fun we would highly recommend.
Game is amazing, no other game like it. But its missing a player base now, cause we guess people grow up and we didnt, lol. Developer, make an ad for this game! Players will join and stay, we promise.
We remember when we were little this game was so awesome please keep making star warfare.
Game plays fine, progression is also fine. However, this game is old and hasnt been updated in a long time, so some new devices may not be able to play the game without issues.
We doubt this review will be seen by anyone, but this game is such a high quality game both graphics (for its time and even now) and the content. We think Ive ran through this game and maxed out about 3 profiles by now (throughout about 5 years on and off). When we came back to this game just for nostalgia we didnt think we would get addicted again. Now us and our little cousin play this and have such a good time. The mass amount of content in a free game like this just should not be missed. Sadly we believe the company went bankrupt and no updates have been rolled out to stop gem and coin hackers. But this only really affects PVP which with the right gear, can still be fun. PVE and the Single player missions is where this game shines so brightly. And the grinding required is just the right amount so it does not take that long to start progressing [not including the mithral related items]. This game is a mobile master piece and it was even better in its prime time. We believe if the team had pushed out ads on YouTube or something similar like a pc version on steam, we think the company would have a lot of money to spare. Sadly this is not reality and we wish the best for the team. Thank you so much for the great memories and the new memories Im making on this game now with our cousin. We hope our cousin will appreciate this game as much as we do. The TLDR : This is a mobile master piece filled with so much content, and memories to be made if you play with friends.
Game very bad scary shooter no download unless very manly waaaa.
This game is fantastic, but we will ask politely, and ask please fix the free armor glitch (Hold on one item (armour) go to your avatar move your finger and health changed and you wear op armour free pls fix.
Hey we just have to say something,we spent money on dinmons and it just took it all away from us and deleted all our progress, and when we went to the multiplayer and see if we can our account back it didnt work and when we clicked on restore purchases all it did was unlock all the maps that we bought but we wanted our diamonds.
We cannot play multiplayer and when we click join it kicks us out the game.
This is a good game it really is but we just have some suggestions. Heres our 1st suggestion can you update the game? We really want more of this game like knew items, weapons, armor, new levels, new bosses. Our 2nd suggestion is can you bring back the bold words in the game when you 1st made star warfare 2 to us the bold letters looked better. Our 3rd suggestion is can you pls make the Uranus sniper coins again it would be wonderful for everyone. Our 4th suggestion is please make it when you do single player you get more gems like when you 1st made this game so it would be easier to get the weapons and armor that cost alot of gems. Our 5th suggestion is for multiplayer can you make for every week when playing multiplayer bosses one day of every week you get infinite gems from defeating gems instead of getting able to battle bosses in multiplayer than after 7 rounds you get no more gems also instead of one boss battle of double coins but on a different day of the same week of getting infinite gems and get infinite double coins during bosses. Well thats it for our suggestions if you seen this review please update your game it would be great to finally see our favorite shooting game updated after 1 year.
We literally deplete our iPhones battery 3 times almost every day playing this game. Its just too awesome.
Good game just wish it still got updates.
Its a good game but every time we play multiplayer it kicks us out of the game to our home screen.
Remake the game, but dont make it pay win. Make level system give the players new guns instead of having to buy after leveling up (again balanced). For gun upgrades just have the user have to level up the gun to be able to upgrade now this upgrade shouldnt give to big of an advantage maybe like options faster reload or bigger mag and user can switch while editing load out. Add competitor mode also. Now for revenue you add a battle pass and for purchasable mithrils they can just be in game cosmetics and maybe add emotes and can buy tier skips with it. This is just rambling from us but we think it could work.
We played this game in 2018 and we played it with our uncles and This game was very fun it was The Best.
Hello we been a big fan since the regular star warfare we wanted to tell you all your games are soo amazing but we dont like the one you made last soo all we wanted to see is a star warfare 3. Love your games it was our child hood.
This game is good but we have an issue when we try to play muiltplay it will work but when we try to join a game it will crash and we cant play it can you fix this problem:(.
Its a very good game and we love the gameplay and creative types of weapons, but the series needs an update or a new game. We think clan would be cool, and if they were added there could be raids wherever the clan can team up to take down giant bosses. Also, we think that in the beginning of the games there should be weapons at the same price of every type so new players can choose from a variety and not just a select 3 weapons. But all in all, its a great game to play competitive or just to kill time. Also, players should be able to level or rank up and get gold so there isnt constant grinds just to get one new item.
This was a great game back in the day.
The game is fun first we were a mood and we couldnt buy the orange sniper and in phase 4 is to hard to kill the boss like for example once you enter the stage like in two seconds your dead and we hate That give the weapons more power and please add a unlimited plasma grandes so it will more easy.
We love this game we never want it to be canceled or destroyed or anything we want everyone to see how fun this game is so make a update called summer fun where u can get one free level up and 2x the exp from bosses and 2x from everything else Make a new gun called water launcher where u can shoot deadly scorching hot water that does 677 damage on mobs.
Its a good game, everyones just mad bc theyre bad.
BRING BACK STAR WARFARE ALIEN INVASION.
Firstly this is one of the best games Ive played we liked it better than Elden Ring, but its needs an update. The screen is black when you load it, but you can just exit and open it up to for the game to properly load. Then theres this issue for us, we want to help our brother out in multiplayer but the game decides to kick us out every time we try something on multiplayer.
One of our favorite games to play as a kid Wish they kept updating it though.
We love this game but we wish their was someone to play with.
This game is really fun (and nostalgic) but theres one problem we cant clue together, When we join a public server the game immediately kicks us out! We don't know if its the game or something our Ipad Generation. Maybe look into it real quick to make sure! We love your game also.
Very good game, we played this game for very long time on android, but now we changed our phone, we need to play from the beginning, hope android acc can also use on iOS.
