"Auralux is real-time strategy in its purest form... It's simple. It's elegant. It's slow and engrossing." – Kotaku

"Auralux is a success. It distills the real-time-strategy game to its purest form." - The A.V. Club

"The later game introduces some very interesting mechanics though, such as black holes, gamma ray bursts, and orbiting planets... There is something for everyone." – Techgage

Ratings and reviews

I have paid for content on the original Auralux, so I love the game. When I saw there was a follow-up game with more maps, new concepts, and improved graphics, I immediately downloaded it. That being said, the only improvement to the original is the overall look of the game. The touch interface is, however, ABYSMAL. The game registers that you're trying to move the whole screen when all you do is tap the screen, making it almost unplayable.

This game used to be awesome. I made purchases and played other another version. In the meantime, they've changed the controls in some way that makes it unplayable. For some reason it wants to scroll instead of selecting an area. By the time you get it to do what you want, your planet is dead. This game would otherwise be 5 star. Cool graphics, good gameplay, good sound, and good ai. Fix the controls!

This a a great game. But something is wrong with the controls. When I select a target, at least half the time it either does nothing or becomes a scroll controller. And sometimes, a tap will somehow select your entire force and send it to the middle of nowhere. I love playing the game, but I've had to abandon the level 3 times now because the faulty controls destroyed my position and I couldn't salvage the damage... Please work on it!
