Idle Space Navy

Game is extremely boring and one-dimensional. Progression is linear and choice is just a illusion, you can only upgrade the one ship and the lab and that's it. The other ships, weapons, and modules are a myth since they don't even exist. Much better idle games out there. Even mobile ones are far superior.

After about 3 weeks I can give a review. The game is very much in an unfinished state first and foremost. As far as I can tell there is only 2 Prestige layers, and the bonuses from the 2nd really do not make the game play more interesting. Once you reach the point of having about all the upgrades 50%to 100% invested in the 1st layer, its basically over at this point. As there is no noticeable draw to keep moving forward. Perhaps with more time invested more aspects may be added, but currently there is no progress for certain things; Such as Metal ore, and MP(mod points) with nothing ever gained in these. Basically the 1st pestige layer stalls out just above level 1000. At this point you can only farm the prestige currency CC. And push levels in upgrades. Which all "Lab" upgrades get wiped on the 2nd prestige level outside of Automation, map spaces and unlocked weapons/ships(granted these will get levels cut severely, I went from 50+ to lv 7 on first layer 2 prestige). The shown upgrades for the 2nd prestige tier are basically DPS resource speed/ related or increasing the cap/retaining levels of certain layer 1 upgrades. So with that basic foundation I can say this. The game needs LOTS of work. The current format leaves basically 0 incentive to play past the first prestige layer other than grinding for probably months to unlock 2 new ships(only 6 in total in the game) and the potential too rise to higher mission/player levels. Basically everything aside from those 2 ships are available from prestige layer 1. There is "loyalty" mechanic that will see you getting more damage/resource gains as you play daily, but it does not really change the core gameplay and set up, just makes resets a little easier/faster. As an Idle game, it fills the spot in a short term regard, but for long term play is sorely lacking in any drive to keep pushing.However there is potential here, and some signs of something good down the line, However in its current state, I can only say its not worth investing more into than the 1st prestige layer for now. Past that is just really not in any way interesting as its basically just rerunning layer 1 over and over, with only the slightest push in progression from layer 2. However I will say layer 1 once you understand some of the nuance and which upgrades you actually need for progression in layer 1(they are not as apparent at first) it actually was fairly fun for the first couple weeks. TLDR: Fun for a couple weeks, basically pointless after that in current form. Current game: 2/5 Needs a lot of polishing and I think it could be really decent. Prestige layer 1: 4/5 Not the worst grind, once you find the right rhythm Prestige layer 2: 1/5 Really Really bad currently Do not recommend playing past layer 1 currently.
