I love this game, from the construction to the strategy and battles. But I'd like to make some suggestions. I wouldn't mind having the decision to watch ads for some extra Celestium. Celestium takes a while to rack up. My other suggestion is maybe shortening the waits or having a way to upgrade the number of times a ship can battle before it needs repair. Could you also consider an offline campaign? It might help flesh out the story. Other than that, I enjoy the game, keep up the good work HeroCraft!

Good, simple concept and well executed. Would be much better if you could appoint crew members with some rpg elements. Bit laggy, which shouldn't happen with the rudimentary graphics. Fleet arena needs a complete overhaul as it's no fun and basically just a money/xp exchange. That said, it's an enjoyable game.

I70%

Really good game. I like the build design but would like a power maintenance option. I.e. increase power to shields from weapons. Maybe captain traits. I.e. aggressive or defensive tactic. Something to make the fights a bit more interactive. Even if not changed still a 5 star from me

X70%
by X####:

It's a very well thought out game and very fun and addictive. But it keeps crashing on the loading screen. Also would you be able to make a 1st person view like inside your spaceship as it fights. That would be amazing. Also attitude. Like aggressive, neutral or defensive

N70%
by N####:

Jesus Christ dev, nerf torpedoes... It's all anyone uses. This game should be called "Torpedo Spam, the game". Even a ship with heavy shielding and 4 or even 6 point defence lasers can be beaten by some guy who just crammed his ship with only torpedoes.

N70%
by N####:

This game is all about design. The battles can be won or lost on the placement of 1 weapon or sheild. Makes for never ending design. Well balanced power to weapons and good matchmaking. Im now level 41 and i still cant put it down!

I've played for roughly two days and this has been the only app I've been able to go two days straight. Its fun and allows you to build what ever build you want. Be it a laser craft, close range warp craft, ect. Its a great game and highly suggest you get it!

I wish i could use the games credits to get upgrades instead of having to use the coins. Its good how they setup the time to wait for your ship to get repaird but i have to wait 20 something min for my frigate and thats not even the last ship you can get. So the bigger the ship the longer it takes to repair it so how long does it take to repair the last ship. DO NOT BUY THE DART THE GAME WILL SET YOU WITH A HIGHER TIER

X70%
by X####:

Most strategy games on Android are rather formulaic, which is a shame, with a few stand outs in each of the few major sub-genres. Not so starside arena. It goes its own way, dealing primarily with design planning - a form that, though lacking veriety, is highly engaging, and forces you to think in depth. The end result is a game that will get you at least a little hooked as you try to work out exactly how to deal with a specific threat type, without compromising your ability to dominate over others.

It was fun for the first week... Now after the update it keeps crashing without an error. Evert time i click battle or after a win/lose it just crashes causing me to lose a turn with a ship. PS: that whole "repairing ship" bullshit needs to be re-programmed. How is it repairing if it didn't even make it to the battle... I already emailed support but no answer for a week.

B70%
by B####:

Would give 5☆ if player could handle the ship like in Event Horuzon... because A.I. pilot is a retarded imbecile, never knows what to focus on and what to shoot at.

Plz can I have the credit or a refund asap,also the play keeps cutting out just as your about to start a battle, or half way through, but it's not all the time. When it happens you get know score what so ever.I was wondering if it's because my opponent had pressed the white flag button.Anyway still know 105 celestrium or refund.PLZ DO NOT PAY...

by X####:

I love the actual building and fighting of the game. Enough to not mind piloting my own ship. I'm lvl 23 However there are some real annoyances built into the game. For example, my ship weapons seem to do less damage against enemy ships and theirs seem to deal more. I think this because I can hit enemy ships with two torpedoes and hardly do damage, but one of theirs knocks out half my ship. Also the ranking system needs some work. It's just not balanced when I'm fighting ships four tiers below or above me.

It is a fantastic game. But it crashes trying to connect to Facebook, and in the middle of a battle. My biggest problem with the mid battle crashes is it takes away one of the spots on the repair time, but I don't get any rewards or experience. If you could fix that issue it would be a five star game right away. Thank you its pretty good so far.

I just installed it moments ago to find that I'm already lvl 25, with the name wonton. Several achievements done, ships made, ranked matches played. Why am I connected to some random persons account?

The game is GREAT. BUT, I played for a few hours, an now it freezes on the loading screen. I have a Gs6 phone. please fix will 5 star XD please. I think it freezes when trying to connect to facebook. I would really like to keep my progress...I also spent 6 dollars for new ship slots. Still cannot get into game at all.. [UPDATE]: THANK YOU FOR FIXING.

Most of the time you'll have to wait that your ship be playable.after unlocking "tier 3" waiting time can be over 30 mins your play turns do not recharge if you have even 1/3 turns left and you leave the game. There is also no way to use any strategy or influence on the game outcome, its only the load out that will be useless no matter how good it is in few turns,speaking of: total no ship controls. You just drift forward if you have engines or warp if you have it. No influence here too. Basicly a failure.

Starts loading then after the blue bar goes all the way across the screen goes black and the game quits! I've played 2 other games from herocraft and they worked but this one won't, I'm disappointed.

R70%
by R####:

A little simplistic the wait times are just long enough to get on your nerves, and grows old quickly as the only real difference you get upon leveling up is longer waiting times. It's a decent game, but it needs work.

X70%
by X####:

It a fun game with simple rules. The constant crashing while starting a fight and ending a fight is rather annoying. As it takes your ships uses/durability down with no reward. Outside of these issues keep up the good work!

Matching making match ur best % weapon aganist the best armor for it. Have encountered fighting aganist the same person 4 times in a row. All with my weapon worst match up. (Leaser vs armor). Getting new ships r pointless, they have repair cooldown.

I love the game. .. But the inability to disable notifications is killing me. My phone buzzes every 25 minutes. I have to clear 6 rows of notification to see my stuff and there is no option to disable them. Flawed. Otherwise would be 5/5 rank. Also please consider an option to choose different combat styles. It's too random. I equip long range guns and my ship dives in hovering at close range. I equip short range guns and I'm warping as far out as possible. Makes zero sense.

I like this game a lot and wish to see this game develop more down the road, but there is one problem. In some matches I come across ships with support vessels and the little buggers strip you down, but thats not the problem at all it's how my ship desides to only focuses the main ship not the ship's that are close by nor behind me, no it just wants to shoot the main ship. There are some cases where it does shoot the support ship's but only when the guns are not in range of the main vessel.

After playing for a week i think - was hooked even more by now :) Great game. But i have a suggestion to implement ship behaviour - defensive, offensive, keep distance, keep close, target smaller ships, etc. For now i see myopponent ships behaving lets say... strange... keeping too big distance at some point without ability to fire, warping directly in front of opponent, keeping ships one over another... maybe implement some physics in future for "collision damage" as it's kind of 2D game :)

D70%
by D####:

Good game and all. What i dont like is it unfairly puts u up against higher level ships where you are majorly out gunned. Should be against a ship within two levels of what ur ship is

Ok, so played till lvl 25 and it seems the RNG has set in hardcore. It seems that there is no reason why a point defence/shield will stop 1x missile or 10x in any given round, or why a ship will move heaps or just sit and die. Adding to the RNG game are the fleet battles, unexplainable waste or credits. I think as soon as the fight button pressed the result is RNG and you just get to watch a light show play out. Could be great with more control and more explanation of whats going on. Maybe even worth $$.

Was having fun until I tried to connect the game to Facebook which resulted in a error "The application has disabled OAuth client flow." and now this message comes up every time the game is launched (even after phone reboots). Pretty poor that a bug like this gets through QA. Massively unimpressed.

But more control over combat would be great and maybe a "TV" setup kind of like what cards&castles does or clash royal. I would like to see if you do see this I noticed this has been updated recently and I'm very happy that you are sticking with this game I've seen so many high potential games crumble away because of mostly poor maintenance or care. So thank you.

Needs a captain hiring feature so you can customize performance. Right now all ships just rush straight towards each other.

I like it hut every time I win a battle the app closes itself. I still get my rewards which is great but it makes me not want to play for more than 2 minutes.

by X####:

It is a very easy and enjoyable game with no obvious bugs/glitches and has loads of potential. It has a good concept which has qualities that other games have but it has done it better in my opinion. Love the game, great work guys but still has a large area for improvement I wouldn't mind sending in an email.

It just keeps crashing during or after battles.

by X####:

Great game concept and execution a few things that can make it even better Captain personalities or ship A.I. customization (defensive, offensive,close range, long range)to support your ship style and helps prevent loss due to ineffective weapon ranges. Also the ability to turn modules for example if you wanted a gun to shoot from the side instead of the front

X70%
by X####:

Excellent game, it just needs a few things: The first being the ability to see both your own and your opponents modules while in battle. Secondly, more control over battles. With those improvements, the game would be stellar.

Idea of ship slot building starts off good... then makes you watch arena side line style. Different ships as yu watch lots of alerts and notifications immediately when you leave. No way to leave by menu have to exit using mobile device. Kind of sneaky while you get to know game if it's on up and up. Data I d k? I've only played a little and hesitant. It's all about building in right spots depending on your comp or player opponent. Uninstall watch TV. Notifications cannot tune off.

Its simple and if you love ships well there 2d but still. Its pleasent to sit there and see if the design youve layed out beats other players ships and what they have built.

by X####:

If a ship is low on power, the shields should fail as well. Everytime I fight a power failing ship, their shields still stop my missiles.

I was fighting a opponet (viper vs viper) and my lasers went through the shield...and did nothing. Not a single bit of damage.w.t.f hackers and rocket hackers

N70%
by N####:

A game where you play as the star ship designer for a gladiatorial arena and try to make the most effective ship. Two main issues with this game is that matchmaking will soon pair you with impossible fights if you do too well (a level 4 Corvette or level 5 dart against level 10 scythes?!). The second issue is the frequent poor tactical decisions by the AI. (Laser ships refusing to attack exposed flanks, armored ballistics ships letting an enemy out range them at a stand still, ships warping 1 inch over)

Loving the game so far, but can we please at least give some instructions to the crew that pilots our ships ? It makes no sense to get out of range of the enemy while your ship is equipped with Vectored Thruster
