Great game but I think the AI needs different difficulty levels, the quick play option was always far too easy to be very engaging for long. Edit: After playing around a bit more with the settings I've found that you can create a fair bit of a challenge on the quick play after all. Right now I just can't wait for those new levels to come out. I would love to play more of this game.

These node based rts' are a dime a dozen on the play store, and they're all more or less the same game play wise. This game changes the formula in bold ways while also having well designed scenarios in which the formula acts. Strongly recommended, hope that the new content lives up to the quality of the current stuff.

This is similar to other capture type strategy games, like Auralux. However, this is completely free. It also has quite a few options to keep it interesting. My only complaint is that I think the developers stopped working on it. It has not had any updates for a while. I would definitely pay for a full game if they would get back on this.

A wonderfull twist on the old Base To Base genre. The clean and powerfull way the unit deployment works, the music, the assets, and the addition of upgradeable and customizable stations, makes this a super game, that I would love to play through again. ( Specially since the story is really damn amusing. )

It's very well programmed, with some interesting twists to the divide-and-conquer game type, unfortunately, not enough to make it stand. There are no collectable/upgradable/customisable/whatever items/characters/vehicles/whatever, what means there is no development, the game just unlocks stages as the player clears them. It's fun for some casual playing, but gets old fast.

What a fun game. Of all the real time strategy node battle app games, this one *WAS* going to be my fav. It has everything...funny dialogue between characters between levels, various strategies, multiple difficulties, and it looked like the map *WAS* originally going to be huge. Except that as other reviewers have noticed, it appears to have been abandoned and is no longer being developed. If they add even just a few more "planets" of levels, I would call it complete.

For a game that consumes less than 1MB, I see a VERY bright future for this game, and one thing, timed missions really put the pressure on me, but if you add around 30-60 seconds to each timed mission, it will be easier to swarm the enemy, just as it is in quick play.

The campaign starts out very good and stays good almost all the way to the end. But the last few stages are ridiculous because you're either helplessly outnumbered or a time limit is used to raise the difficulty artificially. I do love the adjustability the quick play and the fact that there are no ads or required internet connection. And that deserves an extra star.

Fun to figure out these levels, vs the "more of the same" feeling I get from games like Microcosmum and Auralux. Ends unexpectedly, must have more missions! Cruel nonsense, doing such a thing to a person

Simple space-conquest game. Well done, elegant controls, and some light humor jabbing at games like itself. Freeplay is a great time-waster The timed missions are a little aggravating, but maybe that's me. Hoping to see more sectors one day soon!

Auralux copy...some levels are a bit ridiculous when you are hopelessly outnumbered right at the start. The odds are stacked against you and you have no hope at all in some levels. I like a bit of a challenge but it's not a challenge when the enenmy start fully upgraded and you have 1 ship and they have 5 or more each and both are against you right from the beginning of the level. Auralux was a lot more evenly matched and although hard at times it was definately doable. This game is no where near as well done as auralux.

It a great game, and I'm excited for the areas under dev. Zoomed out mode is difficult to use, objects are hard to grab. I spend a lot of time trying to select an object while watching other's armies move.

Neat game play. I get time waster. I'm hoping for an option to sculpt your own battlefield.

Eth. H. Feb 10, 2017     

It could use expansion on the upgrading of nodes but other than that, I liked the clutter free game that works the way it should.

A. G. u. Oct 27, 2014     

It gets tough enough to make it challenging but still fun. Seems to use too much of my battery.

Nos. Oct 21, 2016     

Needs more campaign levels but other then that its fun. I beat the game during a 2 hour networking lecture.

Jef. J. Jan 10, 2016     

Great except the game was very short. I love all the updates and strategies you can do. I hope more comes out for this game soon!

Great game. Lots of fun to play though you can breeze through the campaign quickly. Looks like more is coming in the future though. Entertaining upgrade system.

The buy/sell option for the towers keeps switching as does the percent of fighters to send. It's frustrating to keep pressing the wrong button because it switched from one node to another.

I really enjoyed playing through the campaign, even though it's unfinished. I want to see an update with at least the two locked planets for sure. Thanks for a challenging, enjoyable game!

I enjoyed this game. It is a small game and it doesn't take much space on my phone, and it's campaign is very enjoyable. My favorite part is the hilarious admiral. I eagerly await the continuation of the campaign.

only one suggestion: I'd like to be able to turn off the background music while keeping the sound fx.

Keeps your mind active, thing can turn good to worse in an instance

Jer. Mar 8, 2015     

I love the game. I just wish it loaded faster and would stop crashing on my ancient phone.

Sam. S. Feb 20, 2016     

No ads, completely free. Nice strategy. It's worth 5 stars but it appears that the devs have stopped updating. I'd pay for it if it would help continue updating.

Rya. G. Sep 26, 2016     

Very fun, simple strategy game. 5 stars would be 1) more difficulty settings/options and 2) more game... achievements in quickplay would be fun too
