I had a lot of fun with Astronest: The Beginning. It's a space game that uses a matchmaking multi-player. You create your base, upgrade the base for better fleet stats, and recruit pilots to fly your different kinds of ships.
It's great, and since the multi-player is matchmade, you get to pick one of three possible fleets to fight so you can be relatively sure that you will win. You tend to have a high chance of winning as a result. Check it out!
Check out Astronest - The Beginning
It's been out for a year and now content should be coming very soon. It is free to play, although there are IAP's available. There is no content that you can buy, that is not able to be gained through normal (albeit lucky) gameplay. The game is a strategy game, against other players online. It will take awhile to figure out how to set up your fleet and navigate without getting lost. I spent many, many hours playing this one. Enough that I set up a subreddit for it. /r/astronest
I hope you at least check it out!
