Nova: Space Armada 9+

Read if you plan on playing

If you like games such as Winter Survival, rise of kingdoms, or any building game with expansion and almost always something to do then this game is for you. The community is solid, a lot of mechanics into the game, and keeps you on there for as long as you want. Yes P2W(Pay to Win) is a thing and it is in every mobile game but F2P (Free to play) players stand a decent chance if you put the time into it. I’m lvl 16 right now and haven’t spent a dime and I still got loads of stuff to do and plenty of rewards come every 10 minutes or so. I’ve played loads of mobile games and this one has got me hooked for now.

Copy of Nova Empire

I tried this game because the space mmorts I play called Nova Empire, is slowly dying and requires extreme amount of money to keep up and have any chance of fair battle. I would caution anyone from playing this, it seems to be heading in the same direction. The devs may say that this game is ‘totally unique’ but they would clearly be lying… the ships are the same, the in-game currency is the same…there are a few features they added on that make it a little different, but the base design is Nova Empire. It seems to me they wanted to repackage NE as it was very popular in its first 3 years and make another round of money as people look for an active game player base but without the developers doing any significant design work since they just kidnapped most of the artwork and UI. This game will continue to get complex and force you to spend more and more to keep playing with your online buddies…so just avoid it to start.

Enjoy but be wary

I do enjoy this game… but there are a couple of issues.
First most players hold multiple accounts. This makes the multi-server events absolutely no fun, unless you are in on the multiple account game.
You enter these events trying to play the game but are strangled by alliance leaders who are really just playing against themselves to gain points.
Pretty sure that if you purged the multiple account holders and limited them to one the server number of 54+ servers would top to about 10 servers worth of players, and that is being really optimistic.
Second issue is that this is a purely pay to play game. You cannot advance at a rate that makes it worthwhile without putting up some cash. Some special events have no way of finishing without buying packs. That said you can time the purchases to work to your advantage, but you always end up a bit short.
