The galaxy is vast, uncharted, and teeming with danger. As a deep-space commander, you’ll push beyond the borders of human space, venturing into wild star systems where ancient ruins, rogue war machines, and hostile alien empires await. Some seek knowledge. Some seek war. You? You’ll need both.

Definitely fun game concepts, but held back by "its a free game so we need ads for revenue" excuses. Can't really get into the game or its story when every step of the way is met by "pay with your time to get this item by watch an ad". Imagen being on a war missing and headquarters tells the solder, "watch this video first and MAYBE we will send you a better weapon."

We fully understand your frustration about ads interrupting the game experience. As a free game, ads are a key revenue source, but we agree that the current frequency and placement may be too intrusive. We'll share your feedback with the team and explore better ways to balance ads and gameplay. Thank you for your honest feedback — it matters to us.

fun game, but the forced Ad Breaks really kill the game's cadence. you are already watching ads for nearly every single little boost, and then you get hit with a forced ad break. This happens randomly and frequently, typically just BEFORE you were going to watch an ad for a boost. you need to significantly cut down the predatory, unwanted ads before I consider coming back or recommending this game to anyone

Sorry for the unpleasant caused by the ads. It's a free game that relies on ads for revenue, but we'll minimize their impact on gameplay. You can "Contact us" in the game settings for an ad-free experience.

this gets 1 star for 2 reasons: 1) the absolute necessity to watch ads to beat levels 2) the absurdity of how many ads this game wants you to watch. a level might have 15 waves. Each wave you can watch 3 ads, 2 to increase the size of your grid and another for a free roll for more weapons to combine. But wait, there's more. every time you combine a 3rd tier weapon or above, you can watch another ad to get a duplicate. during waves you level up and can watch even more ads for more perks.
