Space Arena: Spaceship Game for Pc

So this started out as a good game. I noticed some small sync glitches at first, but now that I’ve paid for a few things it’s getting worse. I bought a unique ship (the Federation Pirate Ship) for $15 and when I bought another ship (Morningstar) even though I had it replacing a different ship, it deleted my unique ship! And there is no chance to repurchase it. Needless to say I will be filing for a refund and really encourage people not to waste their time and especially their money on this game! Edit* - it took some time but they were able to go back and give me back the ship I lost. The fact that the customer service actually cares enough to email you and help is great! The only reason this doesn’t get more stars is bc as I played through, I noticed that the Fleet Arena matchup system still needs some work. There are times where it matches me against fleets with fighter and corvette level ships (all mine are battleship level) which means even after I wipe out their fleet I get very little experience. Then I have to wait an hour before I can fight again. I would suggest either fixing the matchup system to only fight fleets of your level or shortening the wait time (like if you wipe out a fleet, you only have to wait 10 minutes). But the developers are good at listening to their customers so I encourage anyone to make suggestions.

Unlike a lot of games you don’t have to buy anything to actually play. It’s a lot of fun and getting premium currency isn’t too hard. You can do challengers each day and get like 40 and then watch adds and get like 20 more. Researching new tech isn’t a waiting game, if you have the credits you get it instantly. You can also buy upgraded components for either standard credits or premium currency. The only waiting is after you lose ship to ship PVP or the fleet battle PVP. Strategy is key and placement of components can make a low level ship a match for ships that are way above it in level. There’s a learning curve but once you figure it out it gets a lot easier. I recommend not spending premium currency to upgrade ships till at least level 10. Instead buy more ship yard slots. The upgrades add a few extra slots to different sections. Some extend the front, add a few extra slots near the middle, extend the rear, or add more engine slots. Best mobile game I’ve played!

I really like this game for how simple it is. Ads are not the core of the game witch is nice. You can watch ads if you choose but you are rewarded for doing so with in-game money to help you out and not at a worthless rate, witch is nice. You have plenty of options to fit your ships in a offensive and/or defensive strategy. My only issue is with the Vega. I’m not mad that cost real money. I’m not even mad that it’s $13. When you hit level 30 you are given the option to pick up this absolute over powered beast. I you are willing to spend money (by level 30 you will know if you really like the game) then I guess do it. BECAUSE IF YOU DONT.. prepare for a long painful struggle to level 35. The Vega will show you no mercy. It’s extremely hard to take one out. You are thrown in with Vega’s over 50% of the matches so it’s going to get annoying. Weather that’s all just a ton of people dropping skrilla on a iconic ship that totally lives up to its name, or they just toss this into make you want to buy it more, I don’t know. Seems kinda sketch how many times I have to fight one but that’s just me maybe. I’m level 34 with a Phantom and I’m still getting smoked by Vega’s on a regular basis but not as much as the early 30’s. This is my only gripe with the game or I would give it 5 stars.

I started playing a few months back, and even decided I liked the game enough to make a purchase. Then, as a certain the app movie was releasing the devs decided to capitalize on the hype by releasing some ships “heavily inspired” by a certain incredibly popular sci-fi franchise, for real money. Now, I’ll ignore the IP violations and lawsuit your favorite mouse could likely hit this little studio with, and I can even ignore selling a little power for money and giving people who choose to make a purchase a small advantage over free players. Power sells, the devs need to eat. I get it. But one of the ships released is so ungodly powerful it’s stupid. I’m talking it’s a waste to keep playing where I am in the ladder. If I get matched against a Destroyer Vega, I lose. I get 0 exp or currency, and a 20 minutes wait until I can hit the button to get randomly matched with another Destroyer Vega. I can’t complete the dailies, I can’t even get another level to reach the next ship. So, you can’t get the free shop currency at a decent rate, can’t level, and can’t progress unless you’re willing to shell out the cash to progress, and likely the next ship up won’t solve the problem anyways. So, you do what you have left. You delete the game, leave a long winded not good review, and kiss the game goodbye.
