Hades' Star 12+

It gives you the opportunity to have fun without paying huge sums of money. I doled out £10 to support the developers but there’s plenty to do with the resources you have for that amount.

The best part is you can play at your own pace. The MMO element can be ignored for a large part and allow you to focus on buildup and development instead of worrying that some aggressive guild is going to bully you into joining. I don’t play games to be social so those aspects ware never fun for me and it feels that here they are an added bonus for those that wish to truly immerse themselves, rather than annoyance you have to deal with against your will.

The only reason this doesn’t have 5 stars is the lack of full keyboard and mouse support for the iPad, something that will greatly benefit the game and make it even more enjoyable.

Another suggestion would be to add more options to customise your empire’s appniriance. I hate when games force you to pay for gameplay, but I think cosmetic options are nice. Being able to add leaders, choose different ship and base styles, create a flag, etc is going to add whole new layer for me.

EDIT: after trying other “games” that are supposed to do space empire management, I like this one even more. It’s so refreshing to see a game that actually has gameplay mechanics and incorporates the player interactions in the gameplay in an interesting way. Keep up the good work!

A great game! I downloaded it about a month ago and haven’t stopped playing it since. Great graphics and good mechanics.

The only question I have for the Devs is why does it take 5hrs for teleport to activate in white stars?
It’s rendered the module next to useless. I understand that an instant jump may be considered over powered but 5hrs? Come on! 1hr I would personally say is more than long enough and 5hrs is ridiculous! Please lower the delay because you’ve turned a module that many would fear because of the ability to eliminate support ships instantly into a module that is very hard to use effectively.

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for on the App Store for YEARS; a peaceful space empire game where PVP is balanced and thus you are not constantly under attack all the time, and lose all your gear.

This game is a literal GODSEND, and that’s coming from someone who does an awful lot of gaming and happily spends 20 hours a day playing stuff. It is slow, but incredibly balanced. I’ve barely been playing it and I already love it!

Between the three currencies, you could take control of an entire galaxy with enough effort. You are not bombarded by enemies, so you can grow at your own pace. The design of the planets is beautiful, and all you want to do is play more! It is great fun!
