ASTRONEST - The Beginning 4+

Don’t like Facebook login

I started this game shortly after launch. Played it daily for years. Love it to pieces. Might have loved it too much as it kept me awake a lot. Unlike many other games I always found I could keep doing something. It has a lot of depth that you wouldn’t expect for a mobile game. There’s regular events and changes to the game that keep you coming back. This game to me would be 5 stars if not for the below issue.

I just came back to it after losing my progress. I don’t have a Facebook account nor do I want one, so I borrowed one my wife had made to sign in. Got a new phone in 2021, and unbeknownst to me my wife hand consolidated stuff so she got rid of the account I was using. I started the game again apparently 452 days ago. But I was disillusioned with the loss of progress so I didn’t come back to it til today.

I am now ready to start over and climb the ladder again, but still miss all the progress I had. I really wish y’all would move away from Facebook, or at least provide an alternative for keeping progress. Cause I realize that I’m likely to lose my progress again whenever I switch my phone and I really don’t want to make a Facebook account.

Great until end game

I don't do reviews very often. I played and paid a crap tin of this game and got to max level after several months of playing. Love the auto battle feature it was the main reason I kept playing. But once I hit max level the money I spent (which I could have bought two Xbox games at full price) the game hit a point where either A. I paid a cheap ton more for constant entertainment, or B. Played for several more months just to max out. But seriously what ticks me off the most is how even when you're not playing and get caught in war and lose, you get hit with SEVERE penalties. Huge chunks of gold and minerals and AP points out the window. After not playing for 5 days ( I was hit with a 54 million gold bill, 45 million mineral bill and 358 AP to recover. That's seriously just wrong to do. Unethical, immoral and just plain unfair. All that loss for not even logging in. You just lost a person that loves the hell out of this game. 5 stars for great gameplay but your money hunger and greed has brought this down to 3 stars. I would have kept spending money on this cause I felt you deserved it, but this is down right just rude to do this for taking a small break from your game. It's too bad I enjoyed it so much, for it to come to this; rather than just finally getting bored, because I felt I would have still kept playing the hell out of this game.

Keeps you busy

A lot to be desired, but it’s easy on my time, and I haven’t spent a dime. My nation is level 50. There’re 110 levels. I think my biggest complaints are how automatic battles are, and how linear things can be, like research or ship design. Maybe one of the reasons for this is this game is strategic, not tactical. By that I mean you determine how much you put into building, research, campaigns and so on, to achieve the most effective balance, but you’re not on the ground commanding your units through a detailed mission, for example. Still, it’s a hard game to stop playing, since there’s always more to do.

Worth trying if you’re a fan of casual strategy gaming in a multiplayer lobby environment. There IS some pvp, but you can control the rate you’re attacked by reducing the leadership of your combat heroes. Leadership is an indirect form of experience bonus. So far I’ve been attacked 5 times.
