This game is absolutely brilliant. It has an engaging story, gameplay that is repetitive only if you lose, loads of customizable playstyles, an actual campaign, cool art, thoughtful dialogue. I have been playing games of all kinds for a long time and I really appreciate this game and the people who made it. I’ve bought […]

I have to admit I’m not very good at this game, but the gameplay loop is fantastic. You aren’t punished for dying, but you don’t carry as much over as in many other Rogue-likes. The strategy has real depth beyond its simple rock-paper-scissor roots, and managing your fleet always feels important. The graphics are well […]
Really, really great game. Heavily similar to FTL, instead w/ direct control of your “squadrons” (units). Gameplay is smooth and easy but allows for a wide range of strategies to win. Interface can be a bit much at first but you will get used to it. I absolutely love this game and have been playing […]
It pains me to say this, but the tutorial could be a little more thorough given the depth of this game. Still, after you lose a few times – to be expected in a roguelike – several parts of combat get pretty clear. That said, this is as deep a game as you’d want to […]
If im being honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect with this game. It sounded interesting so I thought I’d try it out. The story is awesome! I fantastic sci-fi “who dine it” style rogue like. It’s challenging enough to keep me on my toes during battles, but not so impossible I can’t win. You […]
Excellent! It has the rougelike feeling from FTL, but it also addresses my main issue with FTL, namely a lack of control and agency in the rqnrom things that happen. In this game, sound strategy can really make the difference between a good and bad run, and you can point to the mistakes you made […]
Very enjoyable. Minor complaints: 1. Quests acquired should be listed in a log for ease of review and make decision since backtracking is difficult. 2. When I attempted retreat during a landing mission, it asked to retain 25% of loot but recover all commandos and listed 39 scrap. It should explicitly state if any other […]
Nearly perfect. My main complaint is that sometimes, when entering a battle, the ‘board’ loads up but the UI never comes in, this sitting in a ‘pause’ mode where you cannot take action. Additionally, at times it can be tricky to ‘tap’ a button with your fingers, often mistapping. Outside of that, the gameplay loop […]
Amazing little roguelite with a heavy emphasis on tactics and narrative. The text is a little small to see and on my older phone was virtually impossible to read despite running fine otherwise, so I was only recently able to dive into this game. An option to increase the text size would be perfect, so […]
Amazing and absolutely worth playing. The storyline is engaging and the gameplay is great. It’s a mix of choose your own adventure, command and conquer and a text based rpg. The graphics are super cool, 8bit mixed with stunning visuals. The only drawbacks are the bosses all feel redundant after a point and there isn’t […]
Gameplay is good, but do not buy at this time. Not now. Before Last Orders, the game did not crash. After Last Orders it started to bug our during fights, specifically in instances when more than one event happens in a fight, which is often. This bug would not let you finish a fight, even […]
This game is a lot of fun. I would give it 5 stars if it didn’t freeze when deploying 5 squadron ships (4 ships + 1 flanking fighter) for the chapter IV cluster boss fight (which, itself, immediately deploys 3 squadron ships). I had to gradually deploy ships, and be careful not to move them […]
I played this first on PC when epic had it for free and kept thinking “this would be a great game for the phone” and I was right ha. The story is interesting, the combat is fun, but the whole game is in your planning. If you like strategy games, maybe something like xcom or […]
This is finally an effin game where you just buy it and play it, no pay to win mechanics, and the writing from what I’ve played in the first area, has been better than many console and computer games alike. Phone controls are plenty intuitive after some fumbling, and as far as money goes, I’d […]
I highly recommend this game as I have just finished the first chapter of this game and it’s the first mobile game I’ve truly enjoyed in a long time. The graphics are great and the story is very interesting. From what I can tell so far this appears to be a roguelite in a similar […]
Well, to start, I am a fan of Dune and Foundation. So I decided to buy this game. It’s worth the cost, don’t get me wrong. I would recommend you buy it if you like science fiction. But the strategy is kind of basic with little depth in battle mode. Plus many enemies will offer […]
Hands down the best mobile game I’ve ever played. Pros: Great Pixel art Fun Combat Cheap Hours of enjoyment Great story! You get constant refreshers so the game doesn’t punish you for putting it down. Gripes: By chapter 2/3 you know all the beacon event choices to make, and you just repeat them over and […]
The perfect mobile game! What a very pleasant surprise. The campaign part is very similar to FTL but the battle system is different, but very fun in its own right. But the most surprising is how well the story and lore is developed. Sometimes the dialogue can be weirdly infantile at the wrong moments, but […]
Awesome gameplay, great graphics, intuitive controls, and a gripping story. The atmosphere is engaging, and combat is consistent without becoming stale. There are no ads, no IAP, and plenty of hours of replayability. It’s a great value, and it will really hit the spot for anyone wanting console/PC level gaming on mobile.
One of the most engaging mobile games I’ve played in a while. Story, the choice system, etc. are all fantastic. However, some battles can be tedious and a bit frustrating at times. Certain enemy ships can be OP even when you have proper counters, such as longbows. It feels silly to get merc’d by one […]
