Astro Wars

⠀

They tell you that new players have a 24 day protection window to build up and learn the game but that was a lie, got taken out within a day or two with nothing i could do about it

it is very slow to get going and not real clear on hot to play unless you slog through player guides, nothing really in game. No protection for new players to get set up. Most other players are friendly, but will crush you with no warning

Game is buggy. Hard to run it from an iphone as the battel royal keeps disappearing. Tried to help a friend by having him log in from my account, it replaced mine with his and now we both can't do battle royale. Tried running his account from various devices, too many issues.

This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] [quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: In-Game Cash Shop[/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money/credit card details to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] Astro Wars is not to be confused with the 1980's childrens electronic toy of the same name, but you could confuse it with a browser game, because that's what it looks like. Thematically ripping off Master Of Orion but with a much shallower set of gameplay, this is just a menu clicker where you have to use your imagination to pretend you're running a star empire and you also have to pretend there's other players, because in reality there are none. Because this is garbage. So, "Astro Wars" is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Only a tiny proportion of them "go viral".…

I don't know what was so broken that making an account in the first place doesn't even work but that should not be on the player to have to deal with. "Your character name has illegal characters" was either referencing the characters of the alphabet I used in my ruler name or the email at outlook I've been using for years. I can't imagine english is so tough that they meant it was the friggin password but if it's breaking this early in the process, I can't imagine how the rest of the experience must be. Hard pass.
