Review summary

Element is praised for its beautiful artwork, relaxing yet engaging strategic gameplay, and innovative design suitable for casual RTS players. However, multiple users report small and unreadable UI text, repetitive gameplay after early levels, insufficient clarity in instructions, challenging difficulty spikes, and screen resolution problems. The game shows strong potential with skillful developers but would benefit from improved usability, clearer tutorials, and expanded variety to enhance player retention.

Pros

Excellent art and design aesthetic appreciated by many users
Fun and relaxing gameplay with a casual and enjoyable strategy experience
Good strategic elements that gradually layer complexity with each level
Developers show promise and the game is seen as having potential for future improvements
Accessible for those who don't have time for traditional RTS games

Cons

On-screen text and UI elements are too small and need to be larger for better readability
The game can become repetitive after initial levels, with little variety between stages
Lack of clear instructions and tutorial guidance confuse some players about game mechanics
Difficulty level is sometimes too high, making progression challenging beyond tutorial
Screen and resolution issues cause content to be cut off with no apparent fix

2023-03-01	An*****	I didn't think I would have to write a review for this app. But because the app is so good, I feel obliged to. This is one of THE BEST mobile game I've played in a while. While I'm not really a mobile games player, the art design, the game design and the gameplay are just immaculate. Top tier game idea and executed perfectly. I really hope this game is gonna hit the steam market some day. It has huge potential. Great work!

2022-03-12	Oo*****	Needs some work, more clarification on instructions. I didn't even realize at first that the planets were levels I had to select to play. Once I was into the tutorial, it felt like I was just building things with no rhyme or reason. "Select a territory you own". I own territory? News to me! "Tap level 1 to build resource unit." Why do I get different "units" even when I do the same thing a second time in a new territory? Very hard to follow what I'm doing or why it's suddenly different.
