  • Fun but crashed first time I switched apps.

    It’s gripping. I’m buying the board game. But this thing crashed. I was in my way to winning. I don’t even think it saved that I was winning, so a total waste of time. Update: crash the second time I played and I did not even switch out of the app. Considering asking for a refund because this is unplayable.

  • Buggy Mess

    Buttons are tied to animations. So hitting the done button twice too quickly will skip entire phases, bypassing the game’s own warning prompts. An easy fix to this would be the ability to go back to acquire phase from deploy phase. A few cards need more detail, such as the Prototype Heat Lance Shotgun which doesn’t specify that it only targets it’s own lane. There are also other bugs such as being unable to discard certain cards during wrap-up phase, which ended up costing me a Hard game on the very last round.

  • Must be fixed! Works great!

    I took a chance on this, seeing all of the negative reviews, but the crashing issues are fixed! I had no issues on my iPhone X or iPad Air 2. It requires patience learning how to activate abilities/card effects (play the tutorial). Of course it's more fun co-op, but solo mode is a blast. This game is alot of fun and very challenging. Good luck!

  • Ver 2.0.2 crashes after deploy phase.

    This game is really fun but the multiplayer is basically impossible to finish because of bugs. Also the art is really satisfying.

  • Potential But Too Many Issues

    This app has a lot to love, good art and animations, smooth flow, and a good core engine. Too bad no one at CMON apparently ever played this game. This game is beyond hard, in many ways it is impossible to win. One example, in wave one, you could get a combination of two enemies that can nullify most of you attacks, this means in round one, through no fault of your own, you can lost half or more of your bases hp against the easiest wave, and that is just one example. The game is littered with impossible combinations. Once you get the engine down you should be able to get to round 7 consistently, but anything beyond that is all up to the random gods. I even bought some expansions in hopes it would make the game winnable. No luck there. In addition the app is buggy, constantly freezing and forcing you to close, save, and restart. So here is an app that should be getting four or even five stars getting two because CMON doesn't seem to care. Too bad.

    Game is fantastic, hands down. That's not in debate. The app is buggy though. You can't draw any of the free troops to fill your line, and if the screen ever locks, you can't proceed. It won't allow item selection when you unlock the screen. 😞 Very sad, as this awesome game needs more exposure, bad exposure may kill it prematurely though.

  • Entertaining but Unwinnable

    This game shows a lot of promise. Unfortunately, they should have tested it a bit before releasing it, as it is so unbalanced as to be fully unwinnable. If you play perfectly, you can actually make it to the 8th of 9 rounds before the enemy's extremely over powered cards wipe you out. This is in "easy" mode. They need to rebalance the game. This could be achieved by starting your base with 30 hit points rather than 20. Otherwise, this is like an 80s arcade game, you can never win, you just get as far as you can before you inevitably lose.

  • Tons of Fun

    Sure you lose nine out of 10 times when playing the AI, but it's addictive to try to pick the weapons/first aid/armor/action cards and lay out your troops in order to survive against the relentless aliens. Very high quality production. It appears updates have fixed most issues

  • Frustrating QC still

    Centipedes still don't work right since they added needing to press "Done" after every stage of combat. Games take forever and the bugs make it unenjoyable. I feel like I've given this game enough chances. I can no longer recommend buying this b Great game but SO frustrating that they don't thoroughly test each release!!!
