Eclipse
Eclipse places you in control of a vast interstellar civilization, competing for success with its rivals. But instead of overcomplex set of rules and overall epicness, it offers more accessible choices, more elegant mechanics and much faster gameplay. And it does all of that without reducing the strategic depth of the game
- just like every euro-style board game should.
Eclipse other civilizations and lead your people to victory!

Love the game, will give it 5 stars if the following changes are made in the next updates...1) allow multiple game saves 2) show the dice rolls for the opposing AI ships 3) allow random selection of AI opponents and selection of your race 4) have a better way to display AI role choices 5) show how many influence markers you have remaining.
I have a 7" 2017 Kindle Fire and play this on the Local Game setting. The app freezes up once or more times each game. The last game I played it froze on the end of the 9th round preventing me from seeing the scoring. Also this game has very small text and I do not recommend for small tablets like mine. The game itself loses a lot as an app. There is so much information you can easily see in the board game that it becomes laborious to read in this app. If there was no freezing and if opponent info was better represented I would give this game higher marks. If you think this app is great buy the board-game which is far better.
Love the game, everything works, but its the basic game and needs the expansions added. Also needs a way to zoom into the graphics it is very difficult to see the details, numbers, even the end score is so small I cannot see it at all. Game works and is worth the cost, but it needs improvements soon
Couldn't play the tutorial game as the exploration tile wouldn't appear. Haven't find a way to colonize a planet on subsequent turns (very poor UI). I cannot complete a game since the game sticks after a while. I just lost 10$.
Slight glitch on my Samsung Note 12.2, doesn't save state in the background. But a good interface and a great game. Devs are very responsive. Update: works fine after upgrade to android 6.
Well this is great, but I was playing a local game, and exited midway. When I went to click on the resume, the button greyed out briefly, then went back to looking clickable. But then the screen froze and I had to force the application to exit. I am using a Nexus 9 running Marshmallow. I haven't had this bug recur so all good!
The app crashes during about half of my games. It just freezes up and won't respond which is extremely frustrating an hour into your hour-and-a-half game.
The real board game is really great and this app is a perfect adaptation. Everything works and gameplay is smooth
Worst bugfilled lead brick ever
Unplayable due to bugs. Stay clear of this one.
Some minor bugs, but pretty great
A great implementation of the tabletop game!
Good digital version of a great gsme.
An excellent adaptation of the board game, and online multiplayer is also included. Nice graphics and is faster to set up then to learn the paper rules.
I bought this on Steam and have enjoyed it greatly, so I figured I'd also get it for my tablet so I could play on the go. Unfortunately, despite seeing that it was compatible with my tablet, I can't get in the game. I get a black screen on loading and nothing else. Rebooting doesn't help either. So I am disappointed that I bought something that simply won't work on my tablet.
This is a great adaptation of the board game. Anyone who enjoys 4X games will love it. Good tutorial for new players.
Great UI for a great game, and the developer is very responsive to bugs.
Great implementation of a great game
I have an NVIDIA shield tablet and this game runs beautifully on it. I've played, I believe 8 games with this and haven't encountered any issues. I don't get very many opportunities to play the board game version of this, so to be able to play a four player game in an hour is well worth the pricetag. This is amazing and I can't wait for the RotA expansion. (though I imagine it's got a bit.)
Love the app, but no longer seems to be available for install? Have a 10.1" Samsung... Had it previously and would rate it 4 stars if I could still install it. 5 stars if the expansions had been added.
I have uninstalled because it crashed when I hit the first instruction in the tutorial. Hopefully there will be some further updates that mean I can reinstall.
Good 4x SciFi digital version of the acclaimed boardgame. Some issues prevent it from being a 5 star for me, namely the lack of notification for online play and the limited pinch to zoom functionality. (Also, note that upgrading removes your existing games).
