Jonesing for an EV Nova-like game on IOS, I came across a review for Red Nova and gave it a try. While it doesnt completely fill the void, as theres no exploration, trade, economy, or ship building, it does excel at action. The controls are tight and responsive in the pseudo-newtonian space environment. Defending the freighters and evacuating passengers is a lot of fun and challenging on harder settings, and while I do miss the availability of an in-game map system, once you get used to Red Novas radar, navigating to rescue ships is quite managable. Theres nothing that Red Nova does particularly wrong, however in a space game such as this it would be great to have some new add-ons that encourage exploration and non-lethal missions. Perhaps if there were to be a Red Nova 2 (hint, hint)... Overall, a solid and enjoyable shooter.
