I went in to SoS with indifferent and honestly low expectations. The ads I’ve seen don’t do it justice though I know it’s a hard genre to advertise. I really like the multiple things you can do instead of just managing your settlement. I think the little exploration tasks and survival challenges really add flavor to it and are pretty fun. The in game transactions are honestly fair priced and you still get a lot of biocaps for completing missions so unless you have something specific in mind you might not even need to buy to progress. I like the multiple chiefs and their different combat abilities too. I think the events are pretty neat. The dailys are really beneficial too. If I had any criticism it’d be that it might be nice to have troops linger in the battlefield instead of completely returning. It can be a little cumbersome to have two intel missions right next to each other, 80km out, and have to wait 3 minutes for them to come back to send them out again. Though it’s entirely possible I’ve missed something. All in all, I’m having fun with it. Being in an alliance actually feels helpful for timers and such when in other games I’ve barely noticed their assistance. For reference for where I’m at in the game — I’m upgrading my HQ to 18 and I’ve been playing religiously for a week.

I’ve only been playing a few days and finding SoS entertaining. I’ve found an alliance that is friendly and helpful and am busy growing my settlement and my game status. Most games are fun at first, so I am not convinced that my positive feelings now will be the same later on. I’ve played Age of Orgins for a couple of years and have seen a very cool game destroyed by greed and disregard for players who cannot invest thousands per week to stay on top. I understand that game designers need to be paid, but there has to be a better way, or at least a method of managing the game to give small spenders a chance. Otherwise, as merges occur, big-spending leaders clash for power, and there is no cooperation or fun in a continuous civil war. In Age of Origins it takes days to replenish higher level troops, which equals months to make any kind of an army unless you spend big bucks to hurry the process. So many are reluctant to go to battle because the losses are so difficult to recover from. Visit any world in Age of Origins and you will see endless bubbled cities and hundreds of abandoned ones. I’m only saying this as a warning to the developers of SoS. Try to do better. Learn from their mistakes and let this be a game for everyone to enjoy, regardless of their monetary status.

Okay so the game is basically pretty cool but it has some draw backs first of all u less you spend money it’s hard to collect all the players cause you have to collect pieces of them and if you get them you rarely get them again to level up but you’ll get the same 2 characters till there generals and the dam game goes into over drive and when you do the searches like your supposed to now all of a sudden the game wants to give you 5 of that character now and you cannot even use them any more why not rotate the players you do need why does it give you the same 2 people and you can’t use those pieces anymore. Also when your in a clan you cannot share your resources with you guild mates on all other games you can share supplies within your guild and they tax you for it which is very helpful cause if your attacked and all of your supplies are taken and they have killed all your troops it will take you a week just to get back to what you had because it takes for ever to collect the resources back to get your troops back if you could share withi. Your guild you could put a tax on the resources that you share so like if you shared a million food or wood the tax could be high to begin with but if you leveled up say a trading station your taxes of resoreces could be reduced but never less than say 10% I just wish it would be more team friendly that away. Other then that it’s an okay game
