Leave a Review Barnard's Star
Amazing Strategy Game
While it’s not super polished like titles such as Into the Breach, it’s an amazing turn-based strategy game for mobile. The mechanics feel like the have just the right amount of depth to them. I love the multiplayer system. You don’t have to wait for them to make their move, just simply make your move, and put your device down to do something else, then come back and make your next move. I really hope this game gets expanded on with more characters and mechanics!Show lessOttermoose Gaming
Cool Concept but too easy
I immediately started playing the AI on hard difficulty and I love the game and the focus on action economy, but there is simply to challenge even on hard difficulty level.
Please make this game a little more challenging so that I fell like I am accomplishing something when I win. The other game by this developer has exceptional challenge on the higher difficulty levels, so not sure why they made this one so easy.
Other than that, I like this game and look forward to updates that will make it more fun a rewarding to play.Show lessarkansasclem
Excellent game!!!
I’m really surprised by the simple mechanics and yet intriguing strategy and gameplay. This is a fun gem that is definitely worth checking out.
Kind of have an X-Com vibe yet it also reminds me of Uniwar.
Although Uniwar has more boards and units….the gameplay gets tedious on those insanely large boards.
However, Banard’s Star is refreshing, challenging and not overwhelming.
It’s fun and worth the price.
Check it out!Show lessAligrose

Developer Response
Sorry about that, tutorial was broken by a previous update. We just released a fix yesterday so the tutorial should be working again.Great Game :)
It is kind of like if chess had fewer pieces and the pieces all had different guns and they were all in space. Very fun.Marzeltine
Nice theory but doesn’t work at all yet
Bought this game since I love this developer’s other game (Card crusade, great!), but unfortunately I’ve been very disappointed.
The theory is nice but the game just doesn’t work; it glitches when playing against AI so the opponent just doesn’t take its turn, and won’t let me play online at all. I’ve requested a refund because this simply isn’t worth any money yetShow lessDuke caplin
Strategic fun
Simple to learn yet hard to master, It’s rare to find a game like this which isn’t riddled with iAP so having a pay once play whenever experience is like a breath of fresh air.
It can be played in portrait and landscape, there is pass and play, play against the AI and obviously play against others for trophies.
The basic game against others is you take your turn and await your opponents turn, a bit like sending a message. Unlike a lot of games with this playing style though, with this being a paid game it’s rare games will time out and you’re getting more constant games.
There are three different factions to choose from and each has their own unique characters, with a few locked which can be unlocked through playing and getting achievements which gives a little more challenge to some games. I will note as well, whilst these characters aren’t necessarily more powerful than the already unlocked characters, you can create new tactics for different maps and different play styles.
The community on discord seems really friendly and the devs are active there, already setting up tournaments which I can’t wait to compete in!
Definitely worth a play if you’re into uniwar, warbits, xcom etc.
I think this game will be on my phone for a long looong time and I’m looking forward to seeing how it grows.Show lessAco88
This game is a gem!
There are so few smart asynchronous tactics game, and even fewer on mobile. The developers are responsive, the player community is crushing me (in a good way) and I am grateful that this game exists.Sir cucumber
Fantastic game!
I love the art style and strategy games are among my favorites! It’s like playing a pixel version of XCOM.RowdyLemon
