One of the best games of all time
Like the title says, this is one of the best games of all time. I’ve played this game for years. I’ll play a ton for a few weeks then stop for a few months. Rinse and repeat. No matter how many times I play it is always a challenge. This is a very rare gem that just never gets old. I just wish there was a second game!
Couldn’t get past tutorial
Selecting weapon doesn’t do anything or allow me to target the enemy ship
One of my favorite games of all time
I love every aspect of this game. The rouge like gameplay is fantastic. The different ships you unlock offer wildly different gameplay tactics which makes for a lot of replayability. The higher difficulty will have begging for mercy if you are into that type of challenge. This is one of the most unique and well designed strategy games I’ve ever played.
Gank: the simulation
Fun for 5 minutes other than that this game is a complete waste of money. This game is 1000% rng with no skill involved and will leave you more frustrated than enjoyed.
Not what I expected
Somehow, I got the impression that this was a relatively casual space trading game with a minor battle function, not unlike ancient games like Taipan or Sid Meyers’s Pirates. That is not the case; it is primarily a space battle game. I think. Even doing the tutorial and checking out online walkthroughs, I couldn’t really figure out how to play. Which is totally on me, since I’m really looking for a casual fling, not a committed relationship involving a learning curve and research and so on. I’m sure the game is awesome and that I’m just not the target audience.
A masterpiece
That’s it… most well balanced challenging game ever
Soooooooooo good
This game is the best! You can play it without Wi-Fi which makes it the ONLY reason I ever use my old iPad Even my son loves the game. And he is a stinky boy who plays with his toy. And makes a lot of noise. Cuz he’s a stinky boy a stinky boy.
