I've been playing this game for about a month, and I can say this is exactly the space strategy game I've been looking for. It reminds me of Facebook games back in 2012.
However, I'm also a bit disappointed with a few things.
#1 It's Pay2Win. If you pay a subscription, you'll have a huge advantage compared to players who are not paying. For example, with an upgraded account you are able to terraform a planet more than 5 times, while non-upgraded account can only terraform 5 times. Terraforming a planet lets you build more stuff so having a 5 times limit is very disadvantageous.
#2 It's not beginner-friendly. If you just started the game, you will be a farm to players who have been playing for years. Most of them have not each other for years, so you'll get nowhere fighting against them. Unless you are lucky enough to join a top guild. Fortunately, I did and they taught me the basic of this game, which the tutorial did not teach me. I'm grateful for that.
#3 Toxic community. That's right, the long term players are so toxic. This is the main reason why I quit this game after playing for a month. Here are some of my bad experience with them :
- Everybody in the guild was so tensed. It felt like everyone had a rope tied to their neck. Asking a simple question such as "why" or "how" will get you yelled at, or worse, kicked out of the guild.
- As a guild member, I (and most of my guildmates) were not allowed to build large ships, such as Battleship and Dreadnought, because the top players are afraid someday we'll turn hostile and destroy their fleets. That's nonsense. That is the lamest excuse I've ever seen in online games and community.
- As a guild member, you are just meat shield for the top players. Basically, you are playing this game for the benefits of the top players, just like real-life politicians. And if you disagree, guess what? You'll get kicked out of the guild.
TLDR
I enjoyed the game (even if I have to pay), but I hate the community. Please note this before you play this game. Final verdict : 7/10
Sorry for typo, I meant "Most of them have known each other for years".
A shitty pay 2 win game, which adds nothing new to OGame, except an interactive map. This whole game is basically an ogame clone, with changed credits for deuterium,crystal and metal. and a shitty subscription akin to dark matter.
Not recommended if you want to play alone. Or if you think you will do anything in team. The current teamers know each other for a long time, they might backstab you even if you are team with them just because they know the other person so well for a way back.
Btw, don't try the forums, it's toxic there and filled with bool crap, if you try to give them feedback they'll just delete your posts. and there's one lifeless member named wlrein who never changed that shitty avatar of his, avoid him at all costs. Or even try to give them new features just avoid it if you don't want to get disappointed. They seemingly don't like to tell their game is basically ogame with a map. this is the only one thing that differentiate it from OGame and Other OGame private servers like xnova.
The game mechanics are retarded and quite simple, the mod called "wizard" will outright ban you for saying this simple obvious truth. Shitty mechanics won't allow building anything than asteroid bases or crystalline bases for win. so those are the most colonized bases. Overall is a less realistic version of stellaris, atm there's no browser game who can simulate a good strategy land-space game. And AE is nothing more but a fossil from a distant past, they stopped working on it since '12. despite the "updates" (((they))) try to present you. Idk, I am writing this in case if anyone reads it. You don't get to find the truth about this shÃt game daily. Only olds and lifeless mobs still play in this cesspit pool. New members will get easily discouraged, unless they've received a lobotomy as well and act like the teamers. then this game is for you.
Also, what's more funny to this lil game is, they try to present their "cybertopia studios" as a big company, meanwhile there's only 5 members in it atm. owner (wizard) is probably poortuguese, FYI. So he won't understand english properly.
If you go tl'dr, simple description of this shit game is that it's like a private server of OGame, what the retards who keep creating ogame private servers should have done something new to them: creating a map and working some planet types and rearrange solar system thing. OGame has a retarded solar system numbering as well. I'm not saying that this ae priv server ,ogam klon whatever is accurate, but is closest to what a realistic game should have looked like.
So, 3/5 stars back in 2006-2012, since then, it's just 0.1-1/5 stars, people playing this shit are simply nothing more but noobs or lost souls, or lifeless persons checking their region 24/7 . I don't recommend you this game to waste your time on it. I don't recommend any browser space based game rpg nowadays. It would be better if you would build your own one, with something new, new ideas added to it. Or even clone this piece of shit game and add something interesting.
Just my 50 cents on this cesspit pool called asteroid empires.
I used to love this game. I stopped playing because is hard to get anywhere if you aren't VERY ACTIVE, but I'll give a quick review for people thinking about joining.
Pros: Easy to get started, Great community mentorship and alliances. Challenging but approachable.
Cons: You must be active to have an advantage over other players. This game Heavily favors players who can be consistently online, or who go online in consistent intervals to move fleets and recycling ships Your fleets will not retreat from a superior enemey unless you are online to move them.
Seems like a decent enough game, it's quite easy to learn and to get into which is already a fun thing. It's somewhat similar to Ogame but there are a couple twists like populations, an actual galaxy and starmap with sectors, very different progression, fighters needing hangars to travel between systems etc.
I would've continued playing it if it wasn't for the fact that you're being spoiled right from the start with a test membership. The reason why I have an abnormal dislike for that is that you may not be aware of it until it runs out, and when it does you wonder why all of a sudden you are so limited. Just kinda spoils the fun for me.
The one week trial period of the premium membership is enough to permanently give you some of the advantages of premium membership if you use all 7 days to strategically build your economy, production, and settlers ships in time to create 11 bases before the trial expires. Follow a guide from the wiki on how to do this.
