Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Astro empires
The number of players registered at AstroEmpires make it notable, let alone the fact that it has received multiple media reviews.  In fact, the number of players make a stronger case in my mind than the media reviews (of course, I can't read the articles...).   tells us how to handle this: the game has 42,965 players worldwide.  If something that 42,965 people know about and do every day doesn't meet notability standards, then the standards are inadequate.    Who cares how many reviews have appeared on silly gamer sites?  If that's all it takes, then they could solicit their players to contact the sites and demand a review.  They certainly have the numbers to warrant one.  The lack of critical coverage is, in my mind, a failing on the part of game review sites to notice a game that is clearly as popular as any other browser game, not a lack of notability
