The Earth military (EDF or Earth Defense Fleet) is in charge of organizing and carrying out this immense project. During the colonization, the EDF encounters a new life form, which turns out to be extremely hostile. Multiple attacks on EDF key installations, as well as on a research ship, force the EDF to improvise new strategies for a full evacuation. You are a high ranking officer of the EDF, who is in the midst of all the action. Make sure you all get back home to Earth safe & sound.

One of the best RTS games on iOS

Let me start by saying I have played a TON of RTS games on iOS. in fact I have played a TON of different games on my iPad in General. I came across this game when I did a recent search for a space RTS (I had just finished playing GOF2 for the 7th time). I can safely say this is one of the most underrated games I have found in the App Store. The game play is pretty in depth, and the story is short but entertaining.I would love to be able to create larger fleets, as I have more resources than I have available ship slots. But a 5 star game non-the-less. If you're a fan of games like Star Trek Armada, or any other RTS that centers around big battles and resource gatherings his is a must have on iOS! I got the game about 2 days ago, and just beat the campaign. As soon as I finish writing this review, I'm going to purchase the expansion. Overall this a great games and I'm looking forward to updates!

Best RTS Game on IOS EVER!

I LOVE this game so much! For a small price you get 9 incredible and in depth missions, a fleet you command across said missions to combat a powerful foe, multiple different modes including a conquest mode DLC which adds a lot more content, and tons of FUN and DESTRUCTION and Replayability! The conquest mode DLC is only 1 dollar but in my opinion it’s worth more than that. OH and a sandbox mode where you can do just about anything you want!! It even runs incredibly on my very old iPad mini 2 at 60fps!

Best RTS game on IOS EVER! I Can’t wait for a sequel :)

Crashing on iOS 11 on an iPhone 7

Let me start off by saying this looks like a great space RTS. It’s a game category that’s hard to find good games for on mobile platforms and I think Space Borders has a lot of potential.

My largest complaint by far is the crashing. I might be 30 minutes into a single battle and the app will crash completely. There’s no option to restore progress either—you have to start over completely. After three crashes in a few hours I gave up.

The other complaint I have is with the resources. It is possible, in the beginning of the game, to buy things you don’t need (like a mining ship) and then not be able to purchase any weapons. If you keep selling things back and taking a 50% cut there will come a point where you can’t actually purchase anything else or restore your inventory. You need weapons to get resources and the first few levels are pretty difficult even with a decent setup. There’s no hard reset save uninstalling and reinstalling the game.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback. I am currently looking into potential causes for the crashes you are experiencing. Hopefully, things will be patched up soon. Sorry for any inconveniences this might have caused.
