The graphics are amazing. The simplicity in the beginning really helps you get a grip on what comes later. There is really never a dull moment in this game. There are some things to note. Do not expect to come in and just rule the galaxy. You have to work your way through the game. If you start your own alliance, you will not survive. The establish alliances are established for a reason. They own most of the galaxy because they have been around so long. And to be dominant, you have to eliminate the weaker ones. Once you are established well enough or you are well known enough, then you stand a chance. It's all about how you play the game. Once you get to the elite server........ it's a whole new game. A big thank you to the developers for creating a game that is this fun!!!
The game looks amazing! It’s fun, easy to play, and can soak you up for hours, and hours! I play in a alliance that is pretty powerful for our server. We don’t like to abuse our power and help nurture lesser alliances, this way we get more people playing and being online, and we get the plus of some new allies. It’s slightly realistic which is a cool part. I love the chat, I read some comments complaining about it but that’s certain servers. Some servers have very nice chats that are pleasant to be in. Most alliances sometimes have chat rules which do not allow you to use racism and anything insulting to ethnicity, culture, and sexual orientation. This is mostly to keep people from targeting them because of harassment. And the strictest alliance I know which does enforce these rules, happens to be able to wipe any other alliance. The prices are inflated a lot, as well as build time. I see when these are mentioned developers don't commonly respond, but this is their game and can do as they like with it. Got to put food on the table some how. But please do consider lowering building times for the sake of your players sanity. And possibly increasing the amount people can help and or lowering the price of speed ups. But as I said earlier this is a great game and is worth playing. Goodnight. Good morning, good evening, to who ever has read this comment!
When I started playing this game I was extremely impressed by the graphics and simplicity of the game play. As time went on however I created my own alliance, recruited members and that’s when this game changed. Other lager and infinitely stronger clans began consistently attacking us and sending threatening messages to me and my members. There is no system in place that prevents harassment from other players. Just when my station gets rebuilt after an attack and I regain some strength to begin playing the game, someone else comes in and resets me. These mega groups will attack you for no reason regardless if your just trying to peacefully explore or gather resources, destroy pirates etc. They control massive areas and restrict passage through there systems. It’s almost impossible to actually play this game as it’s intended, unless you spend vast sums of money or join one of these mega clans if they let you. If your looking for a frustrating and toxic experience then play this game. It’s very disappointing because this game has so much potential. If the developers read this, please implement a check and balance system that allow small alliances to grow and develop without being constantly bullied. I am all for competition but there needs to be something that keeps the community in check especially when it comes to communication that is filled with profanity and hostile threats. Other games do this.
A good game indeed. Though I will admit it was hard to understand the game since it didn’t had much for a tutorial. I really like how Nova plays with us a server. How we prep up for wars with other servers (which a lot in standard galaxies don’t know.) how nova throws events, and how we make a choice as a server to fight for it, or to establish some sort of event alliance (very handy and very very functional) aside that, the gameplay itself is good, from fleet battles, to the first time ever kraken and simulation. Fun to watch. there are many good things about the game but there are always downsides. For starters, how fleets can be permanently destroyed. Yes, it’s tough when it happens. I lost a lot of fleet power due to it, but I’ve been able to rebuild given time. Not many know they should have reserve ships in case their main fleet falls, or some backup ships. Defense ships are also an option. Another thing is the pay to win thing. I personally don’t see it as pay to win. Yeah, pay to win exists in most game. But you don’t have to pay in nova to do much. Growth is much slower, but us as players must be patient. Overall, good game. Hope the game updates frequently in the future as it is a good game I prefer playing hands down.
Loving the game, only thing that would make it better Is adding resource gifting or some kind of transfer to help out alliance memebers. Also with a up to date I-phone 8, frames drop in alliance war, like freezing and resuming and playing in short burst, still annoying and can impact the reaction time during a war, although I’m playing on max quality and 60 FPS but still. Also maybe a bug but sometimes when attacking pirates or other fleets there will sometimes be NO battle animation, my fleet and the pirates fleet will just be kind of circling each other around the battle zone area but no weapons will be seen firing, just health bar going down, not a BIG issue but still kinda makes it less “aesthetically pleasing” that’s the main reason for the animations right? To be aesthetic? Other than that and building/researching stuff takes WAY too long late game, like seriously lv 11 research on researching faster is taking 12 hours, and, level 11 research on building ships faster but still takes many painful hours, while researching is a fun way to improve gameplay it doesn’t really feel very rewarding because of how little impact it makes....
Overall the game I would have to say is good, but it fails in some areas where it desperately needs to succeed whilst having a Stellaris esc feel. First of all, the galaxies in game feel so small and you can scroll out the map until it’s almost pitch black. Second of all, the game has issues with alliances such as dismantling the HQ and a need for trading plus allying between alliances. Issues as well with bigger factions being able to take down smaller ones instantly as soon as they form. The lack of an ability to have different accounts for each separate Galaxy while making sense kind ruins it a little. Overall if these issues plus the amount of loading errors, translation issues, and some smaller things like the AI and the tutorial need fixing. Things this game needs are stuff like Faction enemies attacking your fleets and such which would give a feeling as if they were actual enemies, like say if they had space stations which you could destroy. Small things like this would make the game feel so much more unique overall.
