Space Frontier 2 Reviews

I think its a cute app honestly, i love these kind of games and its art style is great. Its just the ads that gets to me.. after first downloading SpaceFrontier2 the ads were so annoying after every launch i broke down and just bought it for $2.99. (which is kinda asking a lot for an already free game.) yet after that purchase ads are still relevant to the game. I mean.. don't advertise “ad free.” If you aren't going to completely get rid of the ads. Its worse enough that the game keeps advertising its “elite membership for $7.99 a month deal” every few launches of your spaceship (that still feels like an ad to me and every time it appears the game glitches and I'm stuck in a screen i cant get out of.) I get that the ads aren't as forced after purchase, it at least becomes my choice to click them if i want more astronauts or ship aesthetics but come on its a bit ridiculous, the game just goes by slower if you don't. anyone else wanting to get the game ads free i recommend just deleting it and finding something else, its not worth it. I haven't seen an ad trap this bad in an app before and they still have the audacity to ask for more money. At least give the players something like more spaceship aesthetics for buying SpaceFrontier2 . Fun game but it’ll make you feel like an abused house wife that keeps coming back to her gorgeous husband that wont shut the hell up about other husbands in the area.. but for $7.99 a month he’ll do the dishes!!

This game is very buggy with astronauts disappearing when you close the game, extra astronauts available past the limit of 1000 per solar system, and the physics are just unrealistic. When you get close to a planet you are slowing down and each higher planet is only unlocked with the next upgrade. So if you unlock all planets in a solar system there is a fixed maximum height you can ever reach. This means if you make it to the last solar system you can’t ever get higher even if you hit all insane boosts. The “upgrades” that are unlocked are meaningless and don’t tell you what is actually upgraded. The subscription that is offered is a total joke. Why would you need a subscription when there is a fixed maximum astronaut count and a fixed maximum height on each solar system.

To start off, this is a free title. So ads are expected to be a thing the developers need a way to make a profit and that’s fine. But in my experience with free games with ads the frequency is pretty low. Literally the first ten seconds of opening SpaceFrontier2 I was given an ad, and then again 10 seconds later. The ads are fine, but lengthen the frequency between them and well be right as rain.
The gameplay in this is addicting, but gets very boring very fast. While I enjoyed it for the first ten minutes the game offers little to no variety in its gameplay, you tap the screen and it happens. And while it was a little bit fun work needs to be done.
This game is not well optimized for people with older iPhones. I play on an iPhone 6s, and even a friend of mine who plays on an. iPhone 8 was having trouble with lag. However a friend of mine who plays on the iPhone X of course had little to no trouble at all, just some hiccups when the ads appeared. This is probably the worst part, if you don’t own an iPhone X don’t even bother trying to play this game it is slow, laggy and while very pretty, not a good experience.
3/10 I do not recommend

The game is pretty fun, if a bit repetitive, but the thing that kills it is all of the ads. There a banner at the bottom ( I can handle that), ads after every other launch (kind of annoying), and then there’s the ads that decide to play right after you launched and since there’s no pause (automatic or manual) your launch fails and all the astronauts you had put on the ship are dead.
You can remove ads for $2.99 (a bit steep in my opinion and another reviewer noted that even after purchasing the remove ads feature it did not remove the ads as stated) or by paying a WEEKLY subscription of $7.99 (you also get a few other perks but it’s not worth the price. You can buy a different full game for that price once much less a weekly subscription. )

If the game was a straight $3.00 one time fee to buy the game that’d be more reasonable. Even at $5 a one time would be better than this constant ad garbage.

Ok first thing is first. Don’t mind the grammar because I am in a hurry but I want to write this. Excellent game I love everything about it except one thing. After you do a liftoff and stuff when you land or blow up or whatever whether you like it or not an ad pops up. Every time! As if this wasn’t bad enough an ad randomly pops up whenever. Sometimes even when your on a mission! Great game except this thing. And I am not doing this out of being angry but yes it does take away 3 stars because of how many ads there are. If you changed this producers this would be a favorite. Right now this game deserves 2 stars!!! Oh and did I mention that these greedy morons charge 7.99 dollars a week to keep ads down! I mean you get enough money off of selling the game itself but nooooooo Mr. Greedys got to get eight extra dollars off of people who just want to happily play a game! Please explain this to me if your reading this Mr. Greedy!!!!!!!

Although I generally love this game, I give it 2 stars because of the massive amounts of glitches. Whenever I watch a video, there is a 50/50 chance that when the video is done, I will get a non-responsive white screen. When this happens, I must close out of SpaceFrontier2 and reopen it but don’t get any rewards/ save my blown up astronauts. If the videos were to always work, I would have many more 5x and 2x multipliers, I would’ve added somewhere around 1000 guys to my ships and I wouldn’t have lost another 2000 plus from my blown up ships. In fact, right before I wrote this, I lost 350 guys because my ship blew up and I got a white screen while trying to save them.

Other than the white screen, I love this game. It is very addicting and even with these problems, I’m still playing. It’s definitely worth the download and maybe the white screen is just an issue for me.

This game could be much better with a little more thought. There isn’t really an incentive to upgrade your rocket, every planet/system is basically the same. There should be specific goals for each system, similar the the first space frontier, you should have to get to a certain score/distance for your astronauts to be able to land. As it is now, you don’t even need to upgrade your ship, you can just tap real quick and land on a close planet and it counts. The upgrades that you unlock with new systems don’t seem to really affect gameplay at all, it should affect how/when you have to tap the screen. I paid for no ads since the banner ads sometimes cause the game the stutter which is annoying when timing is important. Going back in time I would not pay for this game, I do not think it is worth it.

I really like this game, it’s great for a quick session or for continuous grinding. That being said, there are a few bugs that have basically made me quit playing.

1- Paying for premium and cancelling it immediately should give you 1 week, but instead it gives you 3 days. I fell for this twice.
2- Watching an ad to double your money is cool when it actually works, but if you’ve been out of the game for too long you’ll get a notification upon opening the game that says “do you want to know when you’ve made a lot of money?” and are just given the gold that you earned offline without the option to double it. Another bug with this is if you open SpaceFrontier2 and get a phone call or text or literally anything that removes the game from focus, you’re given the gold and the offline accumulation resets without being able to watch an ad to double the big amount.
3- 1k astronauts per system, unless of course you’re premium and start with 20 astronauts every time. Just get to 999 and then your last launch will give you +20 so now your system will always have 1019

I understand that there is membership for this game and that with this membership you get 20 astronauts per flight. For $2.99 you lose the ad bar at the bottom and post-flight ads. This DOES NOT remove ads for adding 30 astronauts and saving them if you crash. I think for $2.99 I should get the ad-free benefits, but also be able to pay gold to save astronauts and get a discount on additional astronauts for the ship. There’s really no point in having any less than 30 astronauts in your crew, otherwise it would take forever to max out a solar system. Watching an advertisement to get 30 astronauts is so tedious and really takes away from this addictive, clever skill tester of a game.

Things that could be added with $2.99 purchase would include:
•Paying with in-game currency to save astronauts
•Options to add 10, 20, 30 or more astronauts at a time AND get a discount on those brave adventurers.

First of all I enjoy this game and find it very entertaining. However sometimes my kids will play it and it seemed harmless and mentally challenging so I was ok with it. until one day I noticed the astronauts sound affects. When a rocket blows up and the astronauts scatter into space you can hear them screaming “mommy” and “daddy” in an almost tear jerking format. My 6 year old heard this and it upset him so much he cried himself to sleep thinking about the astronauts being “lost in space without their parents”. Now I know this was just meant to be silly. however after experiencing this through the eyes of my child I really wish you could update SpaceFrontier2 with those sounds removed. This is not needed for the entertainment of this game. I would love to continue playing this however I can’t unless something is done about these sounds. Thank you for this consideration and for so many entertaining apps.

I really enjoyed this game for a while. It was a fun game to tap when you're sitting in the bathroom for a few. I'd play it once a day, collecting my money I earned over the last 24 hours.
However, around level 35 I started hitting the max money uncollected ceiling. In around 4 hours I would get 58 million credits. But it wouldn't go any higher until I logged in to collect. The next planet requires almost 400 million credits. So, since I'm only playing once a day it will take me 8 days to unlock the next planet. I've stopped playing since I hit this cap.
To the devs: I'd really consider removing this cap. Rather than a hard value maybe make the cap 24 hours worth of credits?

I absolutely love this Game. It is so much fun. I have finished 7 colonies so far, and I’m getting 320k an hour. But recently I found a bug. I am supposed to get 320k an hour, but I logged in this morning, and I only have 2.9k. I hadn’t opened SpaceFrontier2 in the past 24 hours because I was busy, but then, I closed SpaceFrontier2 , reopened it, and had 7.9k. Keep in mind, I had JUST closed SpaceFrontier2 and reopened it. It is really annoying to leave and then log on to only have a couple thousand coins waiting for me, especially when I’m supposed to be getting as many as I should. Please fix this bug, I really love the game. -me

With every free game out there there will most likely have ads, but with this game it has ads almost every 10 seconds (exaggeration). I had an ad play in the middle of a game that i was playing and when i clicked off, the space ship crashed. And then when you restart, it plays another ad right after, i don't mind ads, but it seems like it plays one every time you die. So i would want it so it would play an ad every 3-5 deaths that way you have a good amount of playtime and that way it seems like it takes longer for an ad to play and then people like myself will enjoy the game more.

Great game, new update made you get a lot more money, and everything costs more but it all balanced out. One thing is that the United States’ flag is incorrect... 8 bars and 1 star? And it’s connected to the flag pole by the stripes? I mean at least turn the thing around to be connected by the star.

The insane threshold should be increased by about 5 pixels, prefect should be about 2 pixels more.

Anyone wondering how to get ads to go away for FREE, if you’re on an iDevice with cellular, go to Settings > Cellular, and scroll down to Space frontier 2, and turn off cellular data for SpaceFrontier2 . If it isn’t showing up, turn off WiFi then open SpaceFrontier2 , wait for any ad to show, then repeat. When you are on WiFi and don’t want ads, turn off WiFi, and there will be no data connection for ads to load. This doesn’t let you “watch a video” for nothing, but the ads go away.

I just recently got this game and so far it’s been really fun, I would recommend it if you wanna just kill some time. I recently found a bug and itd be good to fix it in the next update. I was filling my rocket with astronauts and only needed around 30 more to complete the system, so I watched the ad to get the 30 since it gets quite expensive in the higher planets. After I landed the rocket I looked at the astronauts in that system and it exceeded the max, at 1001 instead of 1000. This is because I watched the ad when I needed 29 more to fill it instead of 30 on accident, please fix this! It’s kind of annoying to see one solar system with 1001.

I enjoy this game, but there’s a few things that I have some recommendations
There’s an annoying glitch where you zoom into the rocket, and another one is when the game suddenly crashes.
And some ideas:more rocket customization, more work into colonizing, and cheaper galaxy rockets. But this game is already a lot of fun! And people who leave bad reviews, they need to notice that making games isn’t easy. Ketchapp went through all the trouble of making a better version of a game they already made!

I played the first Space Frontier and it’s was very fun but I was disappointed when I realized there was only three planets to travel too. In this new sequel you can conquer over 50 solar systems in the galaxy, each solar system containing a couple planets. This game is absolutely amazing and the only problem is the ads but there not as bad as people say. You can watch the ads to get new skins and multiply the coins you earn which is very fair and helpful imo. One thing I hope the developers add is the ability to change the name of the solar systems after you originally name it.

This game is great! I love the way you explore and populate the galaxy. But there's some things that bother me. Some things that aren't important to game play but more cosmetic. The astronauts on the planets dont have anything to live in. I thought it would be cool to see them build habitats on the surface of planets. Each solar system has a population limit which is really a problem, its that once you land on planet that you have never landed on before you cant populate that planet once your population is maxed. If you think about it for a second, that's a perfectly good planet that has no one on it. It hurts to see these small little things that get ignored. Please think about it.

A great game that I honestly have no complaints about. One of the few games I do not mind my kiddo to play too, so cute - even when the spacecraft explodes the astronauts are just floating around making cute noises like ‘mommy!’. Love it.

On a related note, the folks leaving negative reviews because of ads should think more on how games like this can even exist. It takes lots of hard work by a team of people to make any game, more-so for higher quality games like SF2. One should understand that monetary incentives like ad revenue serve to create competition between said developers to make higher quality games for consumers. Just think on how the quality of ‘free’ games in SpaceFrontier2 store would look if there was no incentive. Perhaps look at your device, ISP or other possible reasons that the application freezes or lags? ^_^

I personally really love this game. I play it all the time. I saw a review saying it’s not so add free if u buy the membership. Here is a little cheat sheet. I just turn off the Internet. Then no ads can play. And it’s free(obviously). Also I had an idea for what you could name the last galaxy. If it isn’t already, I’m going to call it odyssey. If you don’t know what that means, an odyssey is a trip everywhere(normally around the world). I thought I would say these things because they are a little helpful and and, in my opinion, a cool idea.

Sorry if poorly written I’m on mobile
