VEGA Conflict 9+

I’ve loved this game for years but I haven’t been compelled to type a review until now. Everything is great. I love having a base and having fleets. It’s hard to get certain weapons and blueprints, but that’s what makes getting them feel so good to the player. It’s perfectly set up and everything is wonderful in this explosive universe. There is just one thing that I find extremely frustrating though, and that’s repair time. Attacking with fleets is the main and most exciting part of the game. It’s where we, the players, actually get to play the game and use our minds to command. Currently there’s a very exciting event going on that offers blueprints that I could really use right now. However, my fleets are all destroyed and it takes half a day to repair each one. If I could change one thing about the game I would reduce repair time. It really holds everyone back, and since we pay He3 and AM to repair it just makes it more difficult to recover. Please reconsider repair times. This is a great game. Let us play it more.

The game overall is really well put together but is rather poorly balanced in several aspects. The game can be very entertaining but the progression is extremely slow and the only way to progress in a substantial way without sinking years into the game is through the overpriced currency. In order to get ahead you have to constantly be upgrading your ships and your base witch is normally good if it didn’t take days to do and use a massive amount of resources to upgrade a single building. This is negated entirely by buying the currency because it can both massively speed up the process to a pace that is completely unmatched by grind. (Ex it takes around 20 battles to get about a quarter full resources or about 40 minutes of grind) fleet leveling is also very unbalanced as in a lv115 fleet will be decimated by a lv117. within seconds the 115 will be wiped out and the 117 will have taken no damage at all to spite the fact they are 2 lv apart.(keep in mind that you have to be within a certain margin of lv to attack a fleet) Tactics could play a huge role in this game if it weren’t for the fact that it’s very unbalanced. The events are fun but are inaccessible to newer players and are prime places for higher level players to wait for someone to attack. I really do enjoy the game but I don’t have the time or the money to spend grinding to take a step in the right direction when someone could pay 25$ and jump into the next century.

Ok pointing out the obvious when you first start your adventure into playing this game it’s enjoyable and fun as it’s new, repairs are Short if not instant so with that being said you are lured in very easily. Now the reason for my 3 star review.

I don’t like painting games but as I see it this game feels very much pay to win. If you buy coins or pre-fitted fleet from the store then your fun is only matched by how long your fleet last. For a person that buys coins your repair time is nothing and can just go back out to fight again. But for those that don’t buy coins then patience is a virtue you must have. Say you have a lvl 90 fleet and someone decides to attack you with a lvl 105 fleet and destroys you it can take a literal day to repair if you buy coins then it’s nothing but if you don’t then you just had fun for 5 minutes and now you have to wait hours before you can do it again. Not to mention that someone lvl 50 can have its way any time it wants if your lvl 20 and below because you don’t have anything to attack back. 3 stars because in all honesty waiting 24hrs for your fleet to repair its self for that 5 minute match just isn’t that fun.

Can you have fun without coining, sure but understand that if you do not have patience then this game may not be for you.
