AQ First Contact

the perfect balance of action and strategy in real-time. The fact that the ships are always moving adds a dimension to combat i haven't seen before. almost perfect, but if you could customize individual ships (name ships, color schemes, etc...) it would be better. cannot complain tho, has given me hours of distraction, and I'm not even a quarter of the way to battleships. i know a game is good when i feel compelled to look up the wiki....fantastic job.

Such a great game, firstly I highly recommend this game to anyone. It is very difficult at the start but gradually everything starts making sense. Everything is nicely balanced and the community players are very helpful. There are 2 reasons I dropped a star. How long it takes to do anything like drones, research, upgrades and even repairing your ship is too much for me personally. Also, not being able to remove ship equipment to use later is kinda harsh. It really is a great game though.

My only issue is the learning curve for research: ya have to figure out where to find part of the technology before you can start developing it, that and it sometimes just freezes for 1-2 secs. But that might just be my phone. Still get 4 stars since the comunity makes up for its mistake by being willing to teach you. (Sorry if its long don't usually wirte reviews)

Fun game. Not a clone like a lot of other games out there. It is very intuitive and actually requires some skill to play instead of games that treat each fight like a roll of the dice. If you exercise control over your ships and don't let the AI take over you can successfully take on fleets higher level than your own.

Really fun especially if you have friends to play with (sadly I'm going it solo as of now) and can be tricky to learn, I actually restarted using knowledge I picked up from my mistakes. Tip: save 4 of your masterpiece railguns you get from missions for the Tergon ship and rush to unlock power armor since normal really doesn't do much for advancement purposes.

It's an OK game for what it is, but it demands too much of my time and needs CONSIDERABLE polish. 1) The UI needs to be made more minimal, 2) The UI is cluttered with unnecessary confirmation dialogs that interrupt game play, 3) the AI for ships in your fleet is too dumb, 4) the weaponry and combat are unrealistic. The game's the best of its kind but needs optimization and to be informed more by science.

Level 7 so still too early to ask! So far so good. Minimal tutorial so reliant on kind words. Very little information also.. Its a nice little time waster? At least you control your ships but still get unexplicably beaten by ai adding silly little fighters-surely its not just a numbers game, feels like it might be . Very few missions and they don't change. I think I'm going to be bored soon. Gets updated regularly tho which must be a plus to all the guys spending money!

Only played for about an hour and I've already got a pretty big problem with this game. The ship AI's accuracy is absolutely worthless. I equipped missiles on my ships. Missiles fire every 2-3 seconds, and yet you get maybe 4 hits in a whole 2 minute battle. The AI doesn't seem to account for the turning of enemy ships, as they all look like they would hit if the enemy was travelling straight, but all the ships do is fly in circles around each other, so you rarely every get a hit.

Best game I've played in ages.... It was, then it was just good, now i can't be ar$ed with it. I like fair fights, those days are done, it was pointed out to the dev, its not much fun being kept in fight after fight, 3 or 4 times until your eventually beat, that can take 1 hr+ and its not how I want to spend my time, the game does have great 3v3 fights,the stupid thing is when your in a war they dry up in favour of loads of little ships either spam hitting your stations, blocking or jumping you.

Well...theres not much to say the game is amazing but once you get to the top it just isnt as interesting. I love the game made alot of good friends too, sure the ship controls could be linked so u dont have to drag each ship around. But I respect that one man can only do so and so much, thank you 4 the fun game man.

It has the mechanics and play style I'm looking for, real time strategy/ combat with control over your ships. Plenty of depth, and it's not played for you, the path to power is for you to figure out. What works, testing and developing ship load outs and strategy. So I haven't lost interest here. Alot of games load you with gimmicks and gatcha to get you hooked then offer no substance other then blowing money to keep the addiction going. Games like this are rare these days so I appreciate them.

This is a great game. The combat system is especially enjoyable. You can let the AI handle the battle for you, or you can control everything down to activating specific equipment. I have been playing for over a year, and I still enjoy playing. As an extra bonus, the game developer is friendly, helpful, and responds personally to messages. Give it a try. You won't regret it.

I thought this game would have changed after leaving for so long. But it's gotten weird. It's no longer an open world. But more of a closed off VIP world with no real upgrades since I left. Was fun. But not worth coming back for. Too controlled. No real freedom like when it first started out.

Impressive concept of a game. Combat has a small learning curve but it makes the battle much more enjoyable. Good grind to make the game last longer and separates the hard workers from the ones that want a quick play. Good game.

This game is actually pretty fun, I love the concept of capturing bases on one giant map, kinda like how Planetside 2 works in-general, the only two criticisms that I could give this game is that the AI fleets are grossly unfair usually because they spawn with bigger fleets that have more ships 400pw fleets. And the in-battle drag controls, ect are kinda gimmicky your always switching between ships I wish there was a more universal way of using ship abilities without switching to each ship.

Great fun! I must admit this is one of the most enjoyable games I've downloaded. You get the full experience, PVE, PVP. The PVP is very fair, tactics mean just as much as gear. You can't just buy your way to a super fleet. You can make purchases for resources and some ship buffs, but you need to earn the real power yourself. I plan on more purchases, not because I need it to compete. But to reward this developer for such a fun experience. PVP is optional, not forced down your throat.

This game is a processed grind. For those who love space ship battles in an outterspace scene, getting better based on your progress and improvement, and not paying for everything just to get better. Dev is always making good changes, adding new content, and actively helping any player problems.

Very fun and easy to learn. At first, it seems overwhelming, but after a solid hour of play, it become very intuitive. Lots of upgrade/customization options that allow a good tactical strategies win tough battles.
