User Reviews for N.O.V.A. Legacy

Optimized for iPad

I wish I could rate this twice. Once on my iPad with a high rating. And then a second time with this rating from my phone. However, giving a 5 and saying everything is all good would be a disservice to those playing on a cell phone. I’d rather criticize with a chance of the problem being fixed. That being said. The graphics and gameplay of this game is stellar. I mean think about it. We’re on mobile devices and this is just as fun as when I played call of duty 4 on Xbox 360 as a teenager. It blows my mind. It rly does. There’s rly only one thing that is a major major buzzkill for me. The sensitive settings on a cell phone are unenjoyable. It’s WAY too sensitive. Aiming is just about impossible. I put the sensitivity bar all the way to 0 and it felt as if it literally did nothing. On my iPad it’s perfect. I turn down the sensitivity and aiming with a touch screen is as enjoyable as it could possibly be. Playing on the phone is just about impossible. If I want my avi to take a full 10 seconds to make a complete 360, then via the sensitivity setting, that should be a possibility. That’s what the sensitivity bar is for. If they could patch this and let us ACTUALLY control the sensitivity on this smaller screen that would be so much better. Because then I can play on either device when it’s most convenient. Anyways. If they fix this I have zero problems revising and giving a 5 because it’s playable on multiple devices instead of being locked down to just one.

This is why I try games for myself

So a lot of the reviews here are very unsatisfied-sounding. I’ve been all about nova since the first one. I played the hell out of nova 3 when time allowed at sea. Anyone that has done something similar knows how much it can mean, as far as your choices of games to bring out there, even if you hardly get time to play them. Anyway. I read the reviews from other die-hard nova fans, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried. But I decided to say screw it and try the game anyway. Not many people will likely agree with me, but I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised. I’m all about progress leading things in new directions, and we all know game loft excels at keeping with the times. So all things considered, I see this as a sort of anniversary/new experiment that I’m pretty into. No, it’s not a carbon copy of the first nova. I was hoping it wouldn’t be. They said they made improvements, and they did. As I hobby I write, and when I revise a personal story, I’ll change whatever I need to to create what I want the result to be. I see the exact same process here and I’m all for it. Also I have nova 3 downloaded for when the nostalgia is hitting hard, or the WiFi cuts out.So basically, I don’t think it’s that bad at all, and I’m gonna keep playing. I recommend trying it for yourself before letting other’s opinions be your own

4 stars for plenty reasons

I have realized into 4 weeks of playing this game that you don’t even need skill to play all you need is luck and that is very disappointing. Not to mention the fact that there’s a system where you can self aim, and on the other side of luck all you need is a couple rush packs diamond packs etc. And boom you can kill everybody and another thing. Once you get some good guns you can start killing most noobs whose damage is below 200 same goes for shield. And then start getting coins and more currency’s and eventually be one of the top players in the game. And then there’s barely any campaign missions seriously only 19. The only things you can do when you finish the game is play multiplayer, play for events, shadow missions and that’s really it. And there’s only one event which is Rush. The game hasn’t updated in 2 years and really needs some improvements.

What happened?

I remember back in 2012, I came upon a game called N.O.V.A 2. As a 13 year old then, I was amazed by how great the app was! All I had was an iPod Touch 4th gen and it was the best app of all my games then. I would play multiplayer every night! It was a memorable one. Then came out nova 3! It was twice as good as the 2nd! I just couldn’t let it down! I mean sure it was like $7 but for what it was, it was worth it. My point being, when I just happened to search the App Store and see if Nova 4 was out, I was surprised to even see this. I was like, WOW it took them 5+ years to come out with this! It must be great! However, when I launched the game.. I was really disappointed.. it compared nothing to the 2nd or 3rd nova series game.. they added energy, downgraded the graphics by far worse than Nova 1.., the story is not really interesting, voice acting was cut out, it just wasn’t as immersive as it used to be. About to be 20 and would have loved to experience the joy I felt when I was 13.. I guess I’ll just be looking up the Nova 3 app trailer to somewhat experience it again, since the apps are no longer on the AppStore to download. Guess the servers have been empty for the longest. ~MiD_V3N0M in case any pals after many years see this :) I remember the Palringo days! Nice Review IC3FLY!

Being back the old NOVA!

I remember a few years back when I played NOVA 3. It was an amazing game. Better than Halo or Call of Duty at the time. As I slowly drifted away from NOVA, I missed its immersive and enjoyable gameplay. So I went back on the App Store a few months back, and attempted to look for a NOVA game. What I found was this. I couldn’t wait! It looked so awesome that they were bringing back the NOVA games! I was so excited to play it that I didn’t even LOOK at the reviews or anything. I loaded up the game which took no time at all, and noticed something. Something about the menu screen was off. Something just didn’t seem... right. I played some of the campaign, and I’m sad to say that I was disgusted at the change in gameplay that it had added. It was almost nothing like the NOVA games of the past that we all know and loved. And the sensitivity. No matter how much I changed it it felt like it did nothing. Please make a new game that ISN’T seven dollars and fits the NOVA series better. I’m not giving one star because I used to love the NOVA games.

Why is this a downgrade?

Instead of having a better game, with more features, the game is a worse compared to its predecessors. Why is there no option to scope with assault rifles, a feature that is not missing in much older games. This game also doesn’t feel nearly as smooth in terms of controls as something like NOVA 3 or modern combat 5 or even modern combat 3. This retro approach can be done well, like the Wolfenstein games, but here it just a feel like a lazy decision. Even when I turned the sensitivity down to 1% I still had trouble navigating a hallway. This game worked better on my iPhone 7, and it seems worse on the iPhone 10. On the iPhone 7, the games smoothness was mediocre, but the switch to an iPhone 10 makes the controls much less fluid. Even if the controls operated like butter, the game itself would still be eh at best when compared to past games. The servers are also rather trite. A game like PUBG will have really good connection, and something like Modern Combat 5 will have passable connection, but this game’s connection is pretty bad. You also can not modify the control layout so that the trigger button is not in the very corner of the screen. It’s not a good sign when the gameplay gets better because you turned on auto fire when enemies are on target.

Unexpected

I played NOVA since I was a kid when iPhones were new and the first game came out. Goodness knows how much I played NOVA 1. I still remember the opening sequence and how awesome that was. After that I played 2 and 3 as soon as they released. In the past months I was honestly looking for some way to download them off the internet seeing as they are no longer available. Just today I found this and got excited thinking I could relive those awesome memories. I was sad the moment I started playing. It takes you out of the campaign after the first mission and shows you an abundance of ways to play. No more just playing through mission through mission. And you actually take energy to play missions. So after about 3 you have to wait a while to play some more or, of course, pay real cash for more energy. They changed the game so it fits with modern gaming now with packs and customizing that never used to be. Understandable but unexpected and disappointing. I may continue to play but not sure. For what it is it’s good, but it is no legacy to the true NOVA games.

Total Downgrade

After seeing an old rival, MiD_V3N0M, write a review I thought Id write one too. Like him, NOVA 2 was my jam when i was 13, I was addicted and could not stop playing. I remember all the fun times with half-jumping your way out of the map, double tapping the fire button as fast as possible to hit the quickscope headshots with the sniper, the god awful hackers with the rocket spams (ill admit, i even got so tired of it i became one of them for about 10 levels) and insane time to kill on the alien lightning gun, and how can i forget the good old skin colors, man i miss those! I rocked the black and turquoise/blue skin. :’) so awesome. Then NOVA 3 came out and it was awesome as well! It added weapon sway, ADS, some crazy aim assist for the sniper and railgun, improved graphics, a super hot Yelena, and friggin jetpacks! So many memories in both games that i thought this nova legacy would carry on, but alas, this game is trash. Graphics are terrible, campaign missions take 5 minutes, no voice acting, and the ability to aim and shoot is just trash. Not to mention the hitboxes in the campaign expand outside the actual enemy character. Never even played multiplayer on this. Anyway, I was really disappointed to wait about 5 years and have this crap show up. Really hoping NOVA 4 will be as epic as NOVA 2 and NOVA 3. For anyone who made it this far, I miss the old days too. Cheers, IC3FLY :)

Doesn't live up to expectations

I played Nova 3 for a while, and I still do. I was exited when I heard about this. But, it's not as good. The graphics are meh, the screen is too sensitive, and this whole system of "energy" where doing a mission takes some, and building weapons is just worthless. Nova 3 gave me what I signed up for, a fun campaign with an amazing multiplayer unfortunately ended on a cliffhanger. I understand this game was made before so naturally it's older and not as good, but I think with the amount of old fans for the franchise, and the need for a nice shooter game, Nova 4 with the plot line that Nova breaks into two and allies with different people would be a great idea. At the very least, update Nova 3 so it works wih IOS 11, because it's a great game and I don't want to give it up because of software updates. Please. Advertise it a little, and many more people will start playing it. You could even charge money for it again. But don't do this. Games are supposed to move forward, not get stuck in the past. There's a bit of philosophical advice for you. Thanks for reading.

What is Gameloft doing??

Personally i don’t like this game, it plays terrible. And i’ve been reading the reviews for this game and almost %100 of your costumers dont like the game either. But everyone loves NOVA3 so my question to you GAMELOFT is WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ???????!!! When instead of working on this trash game that is going no where; you start working on improving Nova3 !!!! Which it is literally the best game I’ve ever played on my phone. But it needs a lot of improvement for example some sort of anti hacking, fixing all the glitches for every map, making the graphics better, maybe new weapons, new maps, ect.....(This is for multiplayer only, i dont care about the campaign mode) and you should advertise the game which you haven’t done at all!!!! It is almost like Gameloft doesn’t care about their best game ever created. Nova3 could be the Next fortnite if you put some work on it!!!
