Report an issueIGN’s Action Game of the Year is now available for your iPad! The premier sci-fi FPS on iPad takes full advantage of the device’s capabilities for optimal fluidity and staggering graphics, creating the most impressive gaming experience to date.
With Earth no longer able to sustain life, huge artificial satellites called “near-orbitals” were constructed for people to live on. To protect themselves, the near-orbitals banded together to form N.O.V.A., the Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance. Now, a strange threat has emerged from the darkness of space. A Marine ship, reported missing just a week ago, has suddenly reappeared and is headed directly for the near-orbitals, ignoring all communications. Against his will, retired Marine hero Kal Wardin is forcefully returned to active duty to prevent mankind's annihilation.

8 of 25Needs to be updated because the audio repeats at the last word or two :/ really annoying
After iOS 7 the narrator repeats last word after every bit of dialogue. Very annoying. Have to pause and unpause every time to make it stop. Please update. We're still playing this!
This game is broken like all the other reviewers mentioned last year. It repeats the last word endlessly. Too bad
Good game but if you could add sprinting that would be Cool plus this game is so cool I'm getting nova 3 and then possibly Nova 2 no bad words wicht is good cause little kids might want nova but this game is well worth the money get this app You won't regret it.
Please fix the bug that causes the last word to repeat over and over and over again, makes the game annoying!
5 dollars for a game that lasts 6 hours? Come on. And like everybody else said, the last word keeps getting repeated over and over like a broken record. It is almost like a complete replica of halo so if you have halo, go play it instead of buying this game.
Every single time the A.I. Voice speaks, the last word echoes on and on until you pause and resume the game! I've even deleted it and re-downloaded it. There is no link for sending them an email to tell them about it either. I know I'm not the only one this is happening to. They probably won't read this either, so they'll never know.
Never was a ipad game person but I bought this game and now I'm coming back for 2, 3 good game to play when I'm in class and bored out my mind
