Interesting and fun for a while

The main story is being flushed out (play their other Harbinger title to see where this is going). I like the basic mechanics, and it is fun as a basic game. The waves are too hard right now as I can't even finish the first chapter on easy mode (that should be pretty easy so people want to get more content!). Support these guys on Kickstarter. They have an interesting idea and are tweaking it as they go. Should be fun to see where they end up.

Fun but too hard

Fun but too hard. I can't get past stage 1 on easy.

What?

Super confusing. You have turrents and ships to fight enemies, but they give you marines which you cant use. No explanation of most things leaves you feeling lost. After 90 mins and 10 tries I cant beat first level. Seems like you can mass crappy turrents which wont kill but the weakest enemies after they already hit you many times, or you can mass ships, but youll run out of pilots because they die quickly Meanwhile you have stockpile of marines which dont fight but text says they defend your base???

Very fun and challenging in a good way

There are basically no directions and the user experience could be better but I don't mind that. It adds an extra layer of something to figure out. I'm loving this so far. It's challenging and surprisingly fun. Love the audio and graphics. This one is a lot better than their other game. I tried this because of an AMA the devs did on Reddit. Give it a try and give it some time. I promise it's worth it. I would love to see this game iterated on. Just keep improving it and leveling it up. Could be classic.

Good try and buy game.

Easy isn't simple to win but it is winnable. Min marines and heavy on laser turrents plus support ships worked for me.

Great game

Defeat level 23! A great game requires a lot attention on allocating different resources in order to survive the battle. However, the game is too difficult to play, wish to know what's after level 30.

Fun space roguelike

This game is pretty fun to learn and play. The different difficulty levels really only matter until you get your ship decently outfitted, at which point you can steamroll through the rest of the game by upgrading weapons and swapping out ones for better alien variants. Playing carrier builds is prohibitively difficult to start with, but becomes consistently easy to overwhelm every enemy you encounter once you have 4+ bays with 4 plasma fighters swarming around. I wish there was a bigger difference in difficulty levels besides having less resources to start with and encountering better equipped enemies earlier. The extra few points gained from hard are easily lost with more grinding back and forth to be able to fight these enemies, as you lose 10 points for every "action" taken. Having a fleet of more than 3 capital ships would be pretty cool, but only if higher difficulties sent more capital ships against you to make battles more epic. Random events like with Out There or FTL would also add some fun to the late game steamrolling that inevitably occurs. A random little complaint: even with music and sounds turned off, the game mutes background music. Doesn't matter the source. Doesn't detract from gameplay, but it's an annoyance nonetheless

Warning

It was a great game. A bit hard at the beginning. It took me 5 tries to get past the 1st level. At which point I had to pay for the upgrade. I choose the option of upgrading the more expensive choice of unlocking all packages. Excited to continue the game. Well the game stop working. It won't get past the bug bite screen. I tried it both on my iPad pro and iPhone 6plus. The game just lock up and kick me back to the apple home screen. I rebooted the phone uninstalled and reinstalled the game and still cannot start the game. So the story is don't upgrade, if you do the game stop working.

Great game

This is a great game. A bit hard even on the easy level. I wish the easy level was a bit easier. After a few days the game worked again. I upgraded it one more and everything worked fine. However for some reason I cannot remove my 1st review of 1 star.

Keep them coming!
