Look this is going to be short but let me just say this game is really good to be honest, most mobile games are not high quality and are riddled with adds and micro transactions to the point we’re it gets ridiculous, anyway this game doesn’t do that a lot and in fact only times you see $ signs are when you go into the store, but that is to be expected when you go into a store in a game, also the graphics are pretty cool yet simple, and this game has plenty to do, you can go and do the “story mode” which is pretty much a single player experience of killing aliens and doing objectives, or you could hope into co-op mode and fight with 2 other people to survive an onslaught of enemies, and if you are a pvp kind of guy then look no further you can go into the player v player mode and duke it out with three others and the person with the most kills at the end is the winner, or you can go into a horde mode where it is like co op but by yourself, and finally if you want you can do the boss fight mode and fight behemoths. Your scores for those game modes are all tracked in a leader board for your rank, and at the end of a day you get the rewards that equate to your ranking. Overall this game is pretty good it has flaws yea but I haven’t seen that many bugs or glitches so it’s pretty polished and the grind is believable and I never feel like it will take forever for me to get to someplace in the game. I give it a direct score of 4.7/5.0
Bug Report: Tournament Rewards
_Erasmus
This is a pretty cool game, and I enjoy playing it. However, I also like playing the boss fight game mode in the multiplayer tab. Basically, you speed run killing a boss monster and get periodically ranked against other players. Based on your rank at the end of 24 hours, you get a reward. Except, that hasn’t been working for me. I entered three different tournaments today: bronze deathmatch, gold boss fight, and silver boss fight hard mode. In both boss fight tournaments, my ranking was unchanged at the end of the timer and I received none of the promised rewards. I was rewarded for my 11th place ranking in deathmatch, but that’s it. I’m quite upset about this because this has happened a couple times now, and I’ve lost a good amount of gold, trophies and upgrade materials that I earned. I also discovered a bug regarding reward collection. I tried closing and reopening the app to see if it would refresh my rewards and give me the rewards for the boss fight tournaments… but instead it duplicated the reward from deathmatch. I got coins from three deathmatch tournaments when I should have only gotten one tournament’s worth. Again, I enjoy your game quite a bit, but these are two issues I’ve personally encountered that took some of the fun out of the game for me. If you do see this, I would really appreciate you fixing at least the duplication bug when you have the time. Thanks! Erasmus, Heavy LVL 53

Excellent, But More QoL Please

Held off on writing a review until beating chapter 11, now at player level 46. The game is great and one of my favorites, but there's a lot of little features which would make it almost perfect if added. Most importantly being an indicator on the level select screen of whether a planet has an artifact on it, and whether it's been collected, as right now it's not very exciting to walk around every planet for 5 minutes one by one looking for an artifact that may not even be there in the first place.The other feature I'd like to see is a DPS or fire rate statistic on the weapons. Currently it's quite deceptive into making you think that later weapons are simply better, but in truth most of them perform somewhat similarly as lower damage weapons tend to fire much faster, and weapons like the shotgun appear to be awful when looking at the stats when in truth they work incredibly well.The third thing isn't a feature as much as a rebalance, which would be an increase in the amount that crystals on the maps give you. Right now finding and mining a crystal deposit gives a measly 4 to 6 crystals from what I've seen, and even with the starting crystal capacity and generation, amounts like that barely even constitute pocket lint. They'd need to be MUCH higher to be worth seeking out, something like 5-10x more valuable.Beyond those little things, I really enjoy this game, and am soon considering becoming a paid player, though I almost certainly would if the artifact hunting was made easier. If the developers read this, thanks for making one of my favorite mobile games so far.
Fun game but a few issues

I want to start with the pros. It’s got beautiful graphics. Simple, charming, and nice to look at. Gameplay is simple but fun and levels never feel too easy or too difficult. The event missions are always fun because they take the difficulty and multiply it by 100. It’s just enough challenge to spice it up but not enough to make my rage quit and throw my phone. Story isn’t really there but in a game like this it’s better to focus on the best way to decapitate xeldar rather than the history of space pioneers. This game has plenty of weapons and gadgets to keep you interested and the list continues to grow. Of course no game is without its flaws. After a while playing can feel a little bland. There are lots of ads that can boost your rewards but also make playing the game boring. In one session I watched several ads. One of them I got randomly after beating a mission that I didn’t choose to play nor could skip. Also upgrade cards. This game hands out upgrade cards like candy on Halloween night. There’s so many upgrades but so little money at the start of the game. This makes upgrading feel less rewarding because you never feel complete. By the time I had enough money to upgrade a hand cannon to level 2 I already had double the amount of cards. Maybe give us other rewards after missions like gems instead of all these cards. Still this game can be really fun. It might not be my kinda game but it’s still so much better than the 1000’s of games I see in the App Store.
