Hades' Star

I played the game for over two years and it was fun, but the end game got waaaaayyyyy too grindy and the fights take way too long and difficult just to get one piece of a module that takes hundreds or thousands to unlock and that's not even taking into account the research time that goes into it. Is it worth it? Yes, but only as a new player who likes to build up. The build up is fun, but you reach a point where progression is so eye-bleeding slow and difficult that you just have to say "enough"

Nice game for for figuring out optimal resource harvesting and use. Two UI improvements that would be helpful. Move the Next Waypoint button to the rightmost position and have it available even if the first destination has not yet been confirmed by pressing the checkmark button. This will give you a head start for planning the route in the 10 countdown. Also, when selecting a body, add a way to show the number of shipments on other systems that are waiting to go to the selected system.

I played the Beta, Dark Nebula... Please add back being able to see the capacity of transport ships, it's very annoying that you cant see how full they are unless they are docked, and it causes dumb mistakes. Also I like the Beta images for buildings like the shipyard, etc, more. In this version, things are just blue outline icons instead of a structure in the world. I think it's cheesy and ugly. I'd like to see the structure in the world instead of some "modern" lines. Who no change targets??

I'm not one for 5 star reviews, but this game deserves it. I've been playing since 2017. In that time, I have really enjoyed the game. The combat loop is thoughtful and strategic, while remaining simple. Some mechanics, such as the inability to stop moving mid-move, might be frustrating to some, but force you to think ahead and learn enemy behavior. Overall, the game is spectacular. The graphics are pretty, the strategy is good, and it's relaxing. Keep up the good work, Andreas!

Good game, but key misses. First off, the UI, gameplay, art, it's all gorgeous! No complaints there. However, some key elements prevent me from playing it further: 1. I cannot log in to Google Play. It just keeps spinning, but I never sign in. So I'll never be able to switch devices. No thanks. 2. Some dishonesty. Small, but it matters: you buy a pack for daily rewards for a "week". In reality, it's only 6 days. That adds up. 3. It asks for permissions to media, without ever explaining why.

Somebody knows what they are doing. A well-designed game that avoids most of the pitfalls of base-defense and resource management games. Can progress at your own speed without too much worry of destruction. More working with rather than against others but still room for competition between players and corporations. Only occasional ads and can always speed progress buying crystals but it is not totally necessary to do so, but optional. Five thumbs up.

This is truly an excellent game. You feel like you start out a little bit slowly, but since there's a lot to learn in this one, that's not necessarily a bad thing. As you progress you get more ships like miners & transports which are your interplanetary & eventual interstellar traders... They're the ones that bring home the cash & after a bit, you'll want to build a battleship or two. This is not a "photo realistic" game: it focuses on planning, strategy, & expanding. Highly recommend it!

Neat idea. Enjoyed it for a while, then resource costs went exponential requiring insane amounts of time or steady amounts of real world money. Help system is very good for teaching basic skills. Chat system seems to accumulate toxic people, enough to start blocking them. Graphics are good and fit the concept well. I would have liked to enjoy the game, and I did throw a few bucks into the economy to get advances, but I'm not seeing it worth future investment for myself. Best of luck, though!

This game is all about grinding and is mostly a distribution center sim (how best to deliver products from one planet to another). Latest PvP changes heavily favor those with higher tech and the ranked matches have screwed up the match makers ability to pair you up with similarly leveled opponents.. And since the whole thing was designed to not reach end game for 2-ish years, you can never catch up and be competetive unless you were there from the beginning. The art is very well done.

The game itself is very fun and the gameplay is very easy to learn. The depth of the graphics are pretty sweet as well. The downside is unless you're willing to spend large amounts of money or take a ridiculously long amount of time you never really going to go anywhere in this game. The increasing prices and costs of upgrades are so beyond Ludacris and Out Of Reach it's almost not worth playing sometimes..

Overall a good game. It is a very slow burn game, so if your wanting instant satisfaction, you might have issues with this game. But for someone that is more interested in a long term game, this is a great RTS mobile game. My biggest con to this game is that when I click on navigate (or waypoint) then select my target, the game unselects my action and highlights my target. I then have to reselect the ship and redo the action again. In situations where timing is key, this can cause failure to my plans. But to be honest, I could just have big thumbs...

The core concept is fun, but progress is way too slow and requires too much work. Very quickly everything gets expensive, and there's very little passive income. To make money you must actively tap to send your ships around, waiting a minute or two for each trip. A trip might make you 50 credits, but play for a week and you'll be hard pressed to find anything that costs less than 10,000. The pace of the game becomes glacial, and unlocking anything new takes days of effort.

This is a great game. Easy controls and nice looking graphics. I don't really like the fact that when we build, we chose an area in, well, space. Maybe a few buildings in space, but I want the buildings to be near and not on the other side of my system. Or the circles not as big. Also, I feel that it would be better if the docked ships were shown on the planet, not in orbit. The weapon ranges are off and it can affect when you attack. (And why can't we name individual moons?) [Why are heavy slow moving Battleships faster than nimble, weak transports?]

Used to be a fun game, loved it and everything about it. But this new rankijg system just makes it so high lvl 100+ can farm wins in the blue star. Every round I join. Ranked or not, there is always an enemy with a combination that insta kills almost anyone and is impossible to escape. Fix the ranking or ban certain modules from blue stars so people ca actually get wins

It's a fun game, don't get me wrong. The PVP is just so imbalanced, though. I'll be doing a Blue Star (ranked pvp tournament) with a decent battleship for my level, and I get matched with someone level 90 or more while everyone else is 35-45. (I'm level 41 as of this). It's not fair, makes it near impossible for anyone else to win, and a more balanced matching system should be made. Other than that, it's nice.

Came back after a nearly year-long hiatus to be pleasantly surprised by all the new quality of life features, it seems like most of them were added in a big update some time ago. Fun little game to play for a little bit every day and get to watch your empire grow. Combat is simple but fun and punishments for getting defeated are low enough that it's encouraging to try risky strategies. Definitely worth a shot if you like the idea of running a space empire.

I was expecting to come into this being another bad mobile game that requires years to get anywhere and is full of micro transactions, however I received a pleasant surprise. It is actually very enjoyable, though I do wish there was a couple more ways to earn credits or if supply runs/mines refill sooner/faster. It can also be a little annoying to move a ton of ships individually, maybe add some kind of squad system? Other than that it's actually very good.
