Battlevoid: First Contact App Reviews

Wasted money on a game that is now too hard to win after the update. Thanks for taking my dough!

Really enjoyed it. Havent beaten the first episode yet. Died literally as the last wave boss died. Closest Ive come. Hope it gets expanded as well as its PC cousin getting Kickstarted!

a lot of moneys for nothing

This developer used to have a game simply called "Battlestation". It was nearly the same game, and it was a paid game, $2.99. It also had in-app purchases and was only on version 1.0.5 (i.e., had been rarely updated). They removed that game from the AppStore and added this one. Instead of updating their original game or even adding an in-app purchase to unlock new content, theyve tried to force people to go wholly to the in-app purchase model and make extra money to boot. No one should ever support this developer because of their underhanded tactic in re-releasing this game and for dropping support of their existing game. If you decide to buy this game, know that your purchase will probably be worth nothing down the line after they reissue a third time so they can do yet another cash grab.

All round pretty fun, but dont expect a hugely engrossing experience. Worth the download.

Pretty fun game.

An awesome game. Super frustrating only because you know you have to plan better but you still have to find your perfect strategy. Cant really ask for more. Maybe some different fighters and a way to get more build spaces or space station. Thanks for the game love how its free!

This game is one of the most fun games I have ever played! Just wish the prices were cheaper. A couple of new units and this game would definitely be a 5 star

They had an original just called Battlestations. This game was awesome and so much fun. They deleted it (after buying it for like $3) and made this which is another $3. Plus this one I really dont like compared to the other. Ruined the game for me by deleteing the better game and upgrading it to a piece of crap like this. Dont buy cause they will probably make a third and do this all over again.

The Wanderers (first race) used to be very challenging but do-able. Last update moved them to impossible. Highest level Ive been able to clear is 18 when I used to be able to at least reach the 50th level before the last update. Gotten very frustrated and I dont care about the new universe coming soon. This game now is a complete waste of time.

Slight learning curve, but a blast to play once you figure it out. A bit of FTL but with is own flava. Cant wait for the August release!

The main story is being flushed out (play their other Harbinger title to see where this is going). I like the basic mechanics, and it is fun as a basic game. The waves are too hard right now as I cant even finish the first chapter on easy mode (that should be pretty easy so people want to get more content!). Support these guys on Kickstarter. They have an interesting idea and are tweaking it as they go. Should be fun to see where they end up.

Fun but too hard. I cant get past stage 1 on easy.

Super confusing. You have turrents and ships to fight enemies, but they give you marines which you cant use. No explanation of most things leaves you feeling lost. After 90 mins and 10 tries I cant beat first level. Seems like you can mass crappy turrents which wont kill but the weakest enemies after they already hit you many times, or you can mass ships, but youll run out of pilots because they die quickly Meanwhile you have stockpile of marines which dont fight but text says they defend your base???

There are basically no directions and the user experience could be better but I dont mind that. It adds an extra layer of something to figure out. Im loving this so far. Its challenging and surprisingly fun. Love the audio and graphics. This one is a lot better than their other game. I tried this because of an AMA the devs did on Reddit. Give it a try and give it some time. I promise its worth it. I would love to see this game iterated on. Just keep improving it and leveling it up. Could be classic.

Easy isnt simple to win but it is winnable. Min marines and heavy on laser turrents plus support ships worked for me.

Defeat level 23! A great game requires a lot attention on allocating different resources in order to survive the battle. However, the game is too difficult to play, wish to know whats after level 30.

This game is pretty fun to learn and play. The different difficulty levels really only matter until you get your ship decently outfitted, at which point you can steamroll through the rest of the game by upgrading weapons and swapping out ones for better alien variants. Playing carrier builds is prohibitively difficult to start with, but becomes consistently easy to overwhelm every enemy you encounter once you have 4+ bays with 4 plasma fighters swarming around. I wish there was a bigger difference in difficulty levels besides having less resources to start with and encountering better equipped enemies earlier. The extra few points gained from hard are easily lost with more grinding back and forth to be able to fight these enemies, as you lose 10 points for every "action" taken. Having a fleet of more than 3 capital ships would be pretty cool, but only if higher difficulties sent more capital ships against you to make battles more epic. Random events like with Out There or FTL would also add some fun to the late game steamrolling that inevitably occurs. A random little complaint: even with music and sounds turned off, the game mutes background music. Doesnt matter the source. Doesnt detract from gameplay, but its an annoyance nonetheless

It was a great game. A bit hard at the beginning. It took me 5 tries to get past the 1st level. At which point I had to pay for the upgrade. I choose the option of upgrading the more expensive choice of unlocking all packages. Excited to continue the game. Well the game stop working. It wont get past the bug bite screen. I tried it both on my iPad pro and iPhone 6plus. The game just lock up and kick me back to the apple home screen. I rebooted the phone uninstalled and reinstalled the game and still cannot start the game. So the story is dont upgrade, if you do the game stop working.

This is a great game. A bit hard even on the easy level. I wish the easy level was a bit easier. After a few days the game worked again. I upgraded it one more and everything worked fine. However for some reason I cannot remove my 1st review of 1 star.
