Colony Attack app review: your colony your way

Introduction

Imagine if you had the power to create your own planet, then build your own colony and fleet on it, and travel around the universe discovering all it has to offer. Well that's exactly what you can do with the Colony Attack app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone. In this game you are the commander of the colony you have created and your job is to ensure its safety even when that means fighting a universe of enemies that are thrown your way.

Build and Defend

This game begins with you creating and building your own planet with a colony. After all that work that you put into it, the last thing you want to happen is to have your planet destroyed, which is why you need to also defend it. You'll be able to defend your colony by building warships that are able to attack the enemy planets. This is a multiplayer game, which adds to the challenge and excitement.

There are unlockables to find, the ability to play with your friends and set up your own super alliances, and attack other AI planets and other player planets. It should be noted that there is no server selection in this app; rather, it's one universe, so to speak. The most recent update of this app saw all kinds of performance enhancements, bug fixes, and even changes to the gameplay. There are now universe-wide events, you can customize your ship by picking its color, and the Galaxy map is now easier than ever to use thanks to the color coding.

 

Immersive and Challenging Gameplay

When you launch this app, be prepared to become completely involved and immersed in this world. Once you start you'll have a hard time putting the game down. You'll be working to build all kinds of battleships, fighters, and more, to defend your colony. As well you will be developing your planet by giving it buildings such as research centers, a plasma facility, an armory, and sensor arrays. All of these are vital when you're building and outfitting your warships.

Customer ratings are high for this game and there is no shortage of positive comments. One comment I have to agree with is the fact you can advance rather quickly in this app, which is a huge bonus. You won't be stuck in the same spot as you struggle to advance in the game.
