Where’s the Bug Repellant?

A challenging board game seemingly excellently reproduced except for a few balance issues, EXCEPT it now appears infested with game killer bugs. Prior to the last few updates I didn’t have much trouble with this game, yet now can’t finish one. It’s now unplayable at least in Sept 2017.

I liked this game until the recent patch

So many balance problems and the recent patch has only made them worse. Plasma missiles are very overpowered and anti matter cannon is useless. The races that can expand quickly early on have a huge advantage which is not offset enough. Planta starts off with the ability to expand extremely rapidly and also has high starting resources. There are also loads of bugs.

Elegant but dying.....

Such a well balanced game, beautifully designed, and with AI. However, the active player base is just dying. And the game has been left to wilt away. So sad. :-(It's a faithful translation of the board game, however, I feel a lack of opportunity to use the advantages of this being in a mobile format were missed. Eg. Turned based is good, it how about it being timed based per turn to keep the game pace alive. Waiting for idle players kills this game. Fortunately single player is worthwhile.

Great Game that has been broken

This used to be a great adaptation of a great game; unfortunately the recent update completely borked it. As many others have reported, it now fails most of the time, and it's almost impossible to complete a game. A great shame, as despite a few minor glitches it used to be a fun, playable game - but now it's unplayable, and should be removed from the stroe.
