The Lacuna Expanse at Mac App Store analyse

Schönes Aufbau spiel

Easily monitor and upgrade your empire from this app. I find this slower than the web app, but it is great for when you are out!

In comparison with other free games, this game provides a new concept and different play style. However, this doesnt make up for the fact that the game fails on so many levels. 1) Poor instruction: For a game of this kind of complexity, a "wiki" hardly does it any justice. Especially one that is incomplete. Put together a quick start guide for new player. When I pick a race type, how does that impact me? Also, the "growth-ability" of your planet seems to be at random (as indicated by the number of plots on each planet). In a competitive game such as this let me feel comfortable before diving into the game. 2) Poor UI: Okay, so the game requires me to utilize resources and navigate in large expanses of space. So make it easy for me. Why should I have to flip through 3 screens in order to see if I have enough resources to build something? Also why is the "downgrade" option in the menu with a higher level building when it clearly belongs as part of the lower tiered buildings option. Or how about the star map, I cant even get back to my own planet because your games search function doesnt work. Common sense would indicate that theres a "home" button. Not intuitive, not easy to navigate 3) Lag/slow servers: Especially in a game like this, where I have to follow the instructions in my "inbox" you make it difficult to scroll and find my planet. Every few seconds the server loads and lags. Thats your 3 stars right there gone. You only saving grace, interesting concept and absence of ads. If it werent for these two factors, Id have deleted the moment I opened it.

I spent so long playing this game... I had grown to love it so much... Id loved every moment of it and it was one of the best games Ive ever played on mobile... but then... but THEN!!! In the beginning of August... way early in the morning, just past midnight... the game, or the developers, decided to give my the middle finger. I go off for a minute... then come back to "Saben!" My non-existent Black Hole Generators on every world were "sabotaged" and completely eviscerated every single planet I owned! I felt like Id been stabbed in the back by the game Id loved so much and held dearly... months I had spent, little compared to the years others have dedicated to it... but it was no less betrayal. I knew the game was ending. I knew it was coming to a close soon. But that was not right. That wasnt how that should have gone. But oh no... thank you, game developers! I really love how you pulled that epic backstab on me! I hope youre haunted every night for the rest of your lives.

This app is great for all who enjoy this game. Actually, its an impressively done app even if youre not playing the game- it loads smoothly and quickly and incorporates most of the same functionality the website offers.

Ive really been enjoying the game so far through the web UI, and was anxiously awaiting the iPhone client so I could easily keep tabs on my empire anywhere. Personally Id advise you to get the full experience by playing on the web first, but Im sure the iPhone client will get updated as quickly as Apple allows to maintain feature parity with the web version. Give the game a go! Theres no reason not to at least try it.

I have already been playing this game on the web and so Im already addicted. Now that there is an iPhone app I can play Lacuna Expanse on the go!!! The game looks amazing on my iPhone 4s Retina display. Thank you for making this app available!
