Archangel: Fate of the Galactic Commonwealth

when is this update coming? i love game but would like to see an update

Love the Game Its very Challenging to play. Great Game for the Iphone. You can hear the Actor Michael Wehrhahn's Voice in Engineering as the ship needs resources while talking with Command. I highly recommend for gamers.

Great game! For Trekkies like me, it's the best thing ever... For anyone else, it's probably just as fun. what I mean to say is that you will love it nomatter who you are. Like everyone else says, it's hard, but that's what makes it fun!!! Needs some better instructions, but once you get the hang of it it's great!!! Worth the money for sure! Enjoy!

I've been looking for a game to quench my Star Trek thirst and this definitely hits the spot. The gameplay is on point, for the most part. I feel that the enemiies take a bit too much damage to destroy, and the game could really use a mission structure; however, all of these problems could easily be fixed in an update. I recommend this to any Trek fan.

This game is fun to play but it leaves you in the dark about what to do next. It seems that when you pass a mission you just have to wait for the next one. Is there some where to get missions? I don't know because it dosnt explain that. I really like being able to play with the ships settings, but the lack of direction really hurts the gameplay IMO. I'm giving 4s because the graphics are good as well as the gameplay but it needs a mission menu among other things. Please update with more structure. Otherwise fun game.

Love the game, play it every chance I get, reminds me of Star Fleet (a DOS game back in the 80's) but better. Can't wait to start seeing updates coming out

Does any game really deserve 5 stars in the iPhone space shooter category? Yes. This one. Because it is the ONLY game that gives you command of a starship. Key word: command. Other games are nice (Galaxy on Fire, Flatspace) and have great depth. This one does something different. It doesn't just allow you to shoot baddies or upgrade your ship... It lets you regulate power distribution and damage control. And that makes it more of a commander game than a shooter. I love it. I hope the developer expands on the concept. SPOILER ALERT: HOW I PLAY *** Full impulse power. Always. More opportunities to blow up enemies if enemy is on screen. Also it allows you to rescue bases and ships better.

I love this game it has a great pick up play and put down to resume later factor. And of course I love trek. Needs to pause when adjusting power levels and get rid of that damned annoying warp cut screen and it will be great.

Needs better instructions, and a choice of hardness maybe a tutorial, and wepons should be maid to look on and be able to get other wepons.

Ok, so it IS like trek. makuzi? MAQUIS! takes forever to fight. How do i hail? i dont have tons of torpedos. cant i have upgrades?!?

This game is LOADED with potential. Very similar to an old "Trek" turn based DOS game, but this is a more RTS style of gameplay. Looking forward to the promised updates. Some suggestions: 1. Sensor screen that covers whole sector, or indicator arrows for enemies/friendlies. Too much time is spent hunting. 2. Pause game while in "command" screens. I get clobbered while trying to route power/damage crews. 3. Combat just takes TOO LONG. Really, either weaker enemies or a weapons lock so they're easier to hit. Plus, tap to fire blocks my view of enemy ship behind my finger. 4. Maybe a "3" countdown when going to warp instead of "10". And tap to skip animation. 5. Difficulty options. 6. Some sort of key or help screen that tells you what the symbols on the warp map mean. Still fun as is. You're off to a good start. I just hope to see improvement so I can bump my rating up to 5 stars:)

This game is fantastic to play and you never get tired of it. It does seem to be the most star trek like game in the app store even over the official star trek games. The only problem I have is that there should be tutorial so you can learn all the aspects and controls before just jumping into the game. Besides that, this game is definetly worth the price and it will keep you entertained for awhile!

Needs a slider to adjust difficulty. Combat just takes too long, past 'fun' and right into 'get it over with already'.

This game has great potential and it really brings being a starship commander to life. However, in every sci-fi universe, the commanders have gone up the military ranks and only after years of field experience are they ready and able to calmly lead an entire intergalactic warship of troops through enemy incursions. This game basically drops you in with only a basic "How to play" screen for help. The screen tells you where things are but doesn't explain anything. While fans of various series this gets it's inspiration from might be able to figure out what should be done it's hard to find with no tutorial. There should also be a beginner mode where opening the Command menu pauses so you can issue a command untill you learn the game. The warp and game over screens need to have tap to skip. Once the main game gets some fixing an online mode would be great and a more mission based mode would be nice. Right now you're basically dropped into space to go help whatever or go wherever without much direction. Also some other options to shoot would help. Maybe touch and slide to move the ship and tap and double tap for phasers/torpedoes or a button to toggle them and tap to shoot.

If you like "St@r Trek", you'll like this game. However, it does have a high learning curve and it would have been nice to have a tutorial stage rather than plunging you in blind. Once you get the hang of it though, you'll find it a blast to play. A couple recommendations for developer: As others mentioned, indicators for off-screen enemies and friendlies would be nice so you won't have to hunt for them. Also need to be able to skip warp and game over screens, very annoying since game over screen stays way too long. Some tips to others who find the game hard: You can't play this like your typical schmup, especially at your ship's default setting. You'll need to decide how you want to play so you can customize your ship right. If you like ship-to-ship sluggouts, raise your shield and weapons; if you prefer to outrun and dodge your enemies, give more power to impulse engine. When aiming, try to use your fingertip and tap at the farthest end of your intended shot trajectory rather than at the enemy itself. You should predict where the enemy is headed and line your shots so that they'll run into them (it takes practice). Those starships can take quite a beating; just keep at it. If you feel your ship's in bad shape and there's too many enemies, don't be ashamed to make a retreat (just make sure you make that decision before they knock out your impulse and warp). Make rescuing friendly ships your top priority since they provide the power ups; Starbases 2nd since they provide full repairs; and Planets last since they give only partial repair and on top of that hard to defend since the entire planet counts as the hit box. IOW, if you have ships to rescue but get a call from a planet, ignore the planet. ;)

Pros:

This game takes me back to episodes and what other Captain's have done. Fun and the best game you can get for the iPhone or iPod touch.

TREK FANS LOVE ARCHANGEL. So does all lovers of smart games. Can't wait for the updates. This could turn out to be one of the games of the year. small minds might find it too difficult but thats what makes it great.

This is way to Close to STAR TREK and way to confusing....Good Start but I deleted the app. Until the game can come out with less confusing operational uses and better graphics I wouldnt recommend it. I gave it 2 stars for effort but if your into good graphics Go with Assassians Creed or HERO OF SPARTA instead way better graphics and GREAT story lines.

Good game! But to easy to beat!!

The game is fun and definitely Star Trek oriented. From my initial play time I have to say that the game seems unbalanced.

Graphics and Audio are extremely well done and give the feeling you're really a captain of a ship in the Federa...er I mean Commonwealth. Gameplay difficulty is high but rewarding... I see some areas for improvent (locating and tracking enemies during combat for example), fortunately the author has made himself open to suggestions for updates, so a good game is only going to get better!

Poking around on the app store I came across this game and figured I would give it a try. At first I thought I wasted another .99 on boring game, but after 15 minutes of game play I now find myself hooked!! I did noticed it took a little time to load but after that, it was fun!!! To the developer, add a radar warning to show which way the enemy ships are coming from, I keep losing them (Grrrr). Oh, great Job on the game!

Right on point with all the tactical controls. Cool voiceovers, reminds me of Startrek. Was worth the wait, Thanks. Keep it up!
