It's been a long time since the original Space Miner, but the series looks to be making a comeback with the multiplayer-focused Space Miner Wars.

At its core, it's the same Space Miner gameplay as before. You fly around, shooting down asteroids and enemies to rake in cash and other resources.

Except this time, you'll be using these resources to build your defences and take out other player's bases, in a manner somewhat similar to Clash of Clans.

But don't expect strategic battles or army-building, as you'll have to attack your opponents alone, blowing up as much as you can while avoiding their defences.

We rather liked the original Space Miner. Our reviewer gave it our Silver Award and said it was "sitting on a gold mine of charming gameplay."

Space Miner Wars is currently in soft-launch in New Zealand, Australia and Singapore, but there's no word in when it might be available in the rest of the world.

If you have an account for one of those countries, however, you can grab it for free on the App Store.
