The interface is slick, I didn't encounter any bugs. There are some improvements to the rules that make this game faster to play than Ascension. However, there are way too few cards. They need to release expansions, fast. Right now the balance is all over the place and all games start to feel the same.

I love this game. The 3 star rating comes because the app has a few bugs. I cannot figure out how to choose a player to lose mastery when using Venator of the Wastes so the game just gets stuck and I have to start over. Besides that, the app is a little clunky and I wish it had all the expansions.

How they couldn't just reskin Ascension and have a great game with a space theme is beyond me. There's a sort of new take on a existing mechanic but they just didn't use any of the other great ones they could have from ascension. If you want to do something new at least don't make it a worse version. Update Maybe I was too harsh. I still want the wider variety of mechanics of ascension but it's not as bad as I originally thought you just need to look at as a faster paced stripped down gam

*Edit: The game is running quite smoothly now. Thanks for the fix even though it took a while. I've had this game for almost a year now and I've had a ton of fun playing it. However, a while ago it started crashing a lot and recently it has been literally unplayable as it crashes as soon as I press create game or play online. It's frustrating as this is a game that I paid for. I hope this issue is fixed soon because this is absolutely unacceptable.

The game is overall fun, but the hard AI is hardcore cheating and the game often freezes up. I've played hundreds of games I know this for certain. The main mechanism is draw order manipulation - the hard AI draws the perfect card combos it wants even if the cards should still be in discard. It can draw the same card 7 turns in a row without Korvus, your top cards might never even show up. It gets extra card draws, extra damage, buying into -1 shards...

I've been playing this game since it launched and I enjoy it a lot. However lately the app has been very buggy. It takes several minutes to get into a game or have to close out the app completely and try again. I've also been disconnected from the server many times while in a game. I went from checking on the status of my games any chance I got to waiting until I got home because server connection issues didn't happen as much while I'm home.

Enjoying this one a lot as a nice alternative to Star Realms and Ascension. The gameplay and theme feels like it's somewhere in between Star Realms and Ascension with some of the same mechanics in both of those games and the art looks more like a fantasy looking version of scifi (if that means anything to anybody). Life-power is capped at 50. The music is cool at first but gets way too repetative quickly. They need to hurry up and bring the expansion packs on.

Great game. Good mechanics, very neatly polished and balanced. Lots of variability in playstyle. Definitely recommend, and would love the physical game too. The only thing this app is lacking is a campaign of some description. I wouldn’t care playing the physical copy with friends, but playing an app by myself it feels like there could be something to work through/towards. I will probably hunt out a physical copy some day if that says anything.

Don't get me wrong, I highly enjoy this game. It crashes semi-frequently, but my biggest gripe is that it's unplayable if you add an AI to a game against another person. The AI will literally never make a move. Same issue with the game on steam as well. Would love to see an expansion and hopefully the AI fixed, but with the crashes and the fact it's unplayable with an AI in the game makes it impossible to give a good review.

The game itself is great to say the least. But often enough, cards kind of get "stuck" in the center and wond resolve, causing the match to freeze basically. You can't do anything about it or skip/cancel the action so the whole match is coming to an abrupt end. Please fix this. Playing on a Samsung Galaxy A70.
