Nova: Space Armada

It's not much of game because your progression is greatly limited by resources, equipment, time and competition from other players (who spend money). Without basic materials it is frustrating upgrading your ships, and time goes by where you feel nothing is happening due to a lack of progression. All fight mechanics are controlled by the game, and you cannot decide which fleet or ships attack. PvP becomes less enjoyable when the player have no control over what happens during a fight. Deciding which equipment or ships to use can also be misleading, because its possible to build a fleet with higher stats and still lose to a fleet with lower stats. Sometimes it makes no sense how the game determines outcomes. compared to other games, there is less gimmicks to trick you into buying packs or items, but it still uses the same tricks. my biggest complaint is the screen is blocked with stuff it wants you to buy making it difficult to see what's going on. the cost of packs and items range from cheap to very expensive, most of them did not seem worth buying, I play to past the time when I am bored, it runs in the background while the fleets do their thing and I am watching tv or something…

Lol, Not worth it. I've failed to log in to this game after updating my station and ships over 10 levels for about 1 - 2 months , twice, and each time they have reset all my ships and accomplishments back to beginner level. Waste of time!!

I found this game on BlueStacks player originally as one of those rewards programs and I kept playing even though I'm not getting paid for it lol. I've played a few weeks now and I haven't hit a pay wall. You get premium currency daily for completing goals so if you put in a little time you really don't have to pay to win at least as far as pve is concerned. Pvp is another situation, If you are a competitive player I could see this game running away with your wallet. The ship models are rad, a lot of time was put into the space station alone. It\s a pretty in depth game as far as upgrading ships and characters hours of fun.

its pay to skip grind, you can get everything from events, but players who boy with money beat the s**t out of yo

Building a space station and assembling custom fleets sounds like a great recipe for galactic conquest, but the heavy focus on monetization gets in the way. There are some interesting strategy ideas here, yet the grind makes exploring the galaxy feel more like a second job.

This is one of those "build a base, wait for timers, collect resources" types of game so prevalent on mobile. Queue something, leave and come back later. And of course it's aggressively pay to win. Progress without spending is painfully slow and frustrating. Has potential, but not like this.
