Crashing on iOS 11 on an iPhone 7 – Space Borders: Alien Encounter Review

Let me start off by saying this looks like a great space RTS. It’s a game category that’s hard to find good games for on mobile platforms and I think Space Borders has a lot of potential. My largest complaint by far is the crashing. I might be 30 minutes into a single battle and the app will crash completely. There’s no option to restore progress either—you have to start over completely. After three crashes in a few hours I gave up. The other complaint I have is with the resources. It is possible, in the beginning of the game, to buy things you don’t need (like a mining ship) and then not be able to purchase any weapons. If you keep selling things back and taking a 50% cut there will come a point where you can’t actually purchase anything else or restore your inventory. You need weapons to get resources and the first few levels are pretty difficult even with a decent setup. There’s no hard reset save uninstalling and reinstalling the game.
