Reviews for "Battle for the Galaxy"
Great game! Great game!
Great game! Cool graphics and effects. Lots of tournaments and loot.
I like this! Game so beautiful and interesting. I think is nice to spend time and relax.
Overall a pretty solid game, a blatant copy of a well known formula, but...a solid game. Art, music, interface...all good.
However your pay model is absolutely atrocious and I cannot support this type of design. I see that you are going for the Free to Play model (servers aint cheap) but the skew of balance is far too heavy in a paying players favor. As soon as a non-paying playing gets far enough into the game to understand how all the mechanics work they also realize that if they want to actually do well in the game, they will need to pay money. Regardless if they enjoy the game or not, new plays are not going to stick around and cough up money just to play on equal ground as everyone else. player rankings have almost nothing to do with player skill or time played, but a ranking of who has payed the most money. who would want to play a game like that?
You should never give players the ability to pay money for an advantage, paying to skip(cut cooldowns) is fine however, as long as it has a limit. being able to buy resources, shields, boosts to units and more powerful buildings creates a world of advantage over your non-paying players. Hell most transactions you offer are catered to be continuously bought and are unfriendly towards players who might be happy to spend just $5 - $10 on your game.
I like the game and would like to see it grow and succeed, but in its current state, I just cant support it. Please adjust your payment system, a good game is fair to all players, a good game is enjoyable by all of its players....not just by those willing to pay the most.
If you want to understand why this pay model is as bad, not just for the non-paying players but also for you, I implore you to check out the Extra Credits video's of , "why the free to play model is currently broken" or "free to play laws". it explains issue with this current model far better than I.

Hi Nezul,
There is no real advantage, since you can choose a player to attack of your own technology level (using "next" button when attacking). And those players who buy something - they become a higher tier player.
You can't buy something and stay in the same group.
Besides, antimatter resource cannot be purchased, and all buildings and units available for antimatter - only obtainable the equal way for everyone.
Also, I'm being a lvl 19, can easily win a level 30 player, by just right positioning of my army.
There is a mechanics, where you achieve a lesser win in those conditions:
-destroyed main building
-dealt 50% destruction
And also, when attacking a high level, if you destroy only storage, and even loose you anyway steal all resources from that storage, which is almost my full capacity.
Hey, I tell you again, I play this game myself and I don't buy anything and I have 70% wins or so. So as our TOP 100 ranking - half of them didn't pay a dollar.
