I’ve played this game for a couple of years, I spent thousands of dollars the first year. I have spent $40 this past year. Unless you spend you can’t find momentum to grow and build your ships. For the beginners, it’s an affordable game, once you get more ships, that’s what changes. The insane amount of cost to level up and merge mini ships is unattainable. In my two years I have only been able to merge a mini ships once to a F2 level. And that mini ship is only halfway to max. I have enjoyed the game in the past, but now its appeal is much less. The amount of cheating from hackers is a constant issue. If only the game allowed for better star, hero badge and puzzle rewards within the game at scale, you could actually build and see your ships skills progress. You can only go so far in the game until you have to merge ships. Biggest complaint is that it takes forever to collect puzzle pieces of any consistency that really matters to have opportunities to progress mini ships to higher levels. Unless you spend $300 -$500 during the 4X sales to buy enough puzzle pieces to barely advance. I would give this a higher rating, but the shear cost, is way too high. Better places to spend your hard earned money. I could have purchased a nice used car for what I’ve spent.

This game is a blast to play the ships are interesting and unique. The graphics are good and boss fights are challenging. That is short lived unfortunately. I am on the 2nd planet in the campaign and the Vulture ship I upgraded to level 25 and 13 rate of fire is complete trash. It’s clear that in order to progress I need to merge ships. The materials to merge ships cost real money. At this rate my guess is you spend like $50 on 1 ship and it will be trash before you leave the solar system. Who knows how much it will cost to upgrade it after that? My other issue is that you can accidentally switch to other ships you’ve unlocked but don’t want to use. Those ships might be un-upgraded or worse they’re just trash or both! There is no way to turn off the ship switching power ups. Worse is in order to unlock some ships it costs money then it will be trash before you’ve progressed very far. I’m at the point where it costs real money to upgrade ships and I don’t want to find out the costs. Most of the ships I have were earned in game but the one that I bought turned out to be disappointing. I don’t play much mobile games but if it’s pay to progress I’m our.

Well, this game USED to be really fun. However, I logged into it today after not playing for several months due to IRL issues. When I came back, a LOT has changed, and not for the better. I can deal with most of these changes, but taking away my favorite ship is unacceptable. I don’t even see it on the list anymore. This used to be my favorite shooter style game. So good, as a matter of fact, that it was the only game of this style on my phone. But after about a half hour of seeing all the changes (especially the loss of my favorite ship), not only is it not my favorite shooter game, it’s not even on my phone anymore. It’s quite disappointing that this game has gone so far downhill. All that time and money I spent on this game is all down the drain. So much for those 3+ years I have been playing. What a waste. Sad when a good game turns into an absolute trash game. Anyhow, as much as I hate to say it, I will no longer be playing this one and will be looking for a new one to play. I am super bummed about what has happened to this game. Went from being super fun to nothing more than a cash grab. Oh… And there’s no sense telling me to contact them on their Facebook page. I tried that more times than I can count, and not only did I not get a reply, my messages were never even seen by their “support team”.

The developers comment that you don’t have to pay anything because you can watch videos. You could literally watch videos 24/7 for 10 years and you still wouldn’t be able to merge ships. The copy and paste response’s should be enough to show people that read reviews this is a cash grab scam that can cost thousands which is ridiculous for any game you play for fun. Even after spending 100$s you will hit a paywall and have to spend a LOT of money just to beat the campaign. The ads are worthless giving 10k when it cost millions to to upgrade a ship to the max. This game is a scam. every purchase is misleading, the game makes you think you can upgrade your ship if you get enough materials but you will not be able to, one $20 purchase is not going to do anything, the game does not tell you how many levels you need to level up, it makes you think once you obtain items you are able to upgrade, but that is not the case. This game is definitely not made for children, my child spent hundreds of dollars before telling me he wasn’t getting what he paid for. I attempted to play the game to see if maybe he was doing something wrong but it’s just straight up false advertising and the customer support was no help. They did not even acknowledge my refund request. Stay far far away from this game.
