A great little RTS

Ugly game but your eyes will adjust

It looks like poopy, but the game is really fun to play once you get use to it. There are many maps and a lot of different combinations of factions, tech branches, and ship builds. I don't like the way the grids look, and the learning curve is steep, but literally everything else is rad! You can play before you pay to unlock a few extra features--glad I downloaded it.

Hidden gem

A great turn-based 4X-type game, reminescent of the Galactic Civilisation and Master of Orion series. No money assle, lots of depth and well thought out. The faction system is the best idea i saw for the genre, allowing for internal affairs being as much important as the external ones. Wow, such a hidden gem.

Amazing Developers

I have owned Star Traders Elite for nearly a year now, and it was one of my favorite games, it got stale after a while, but now they have come out with Empires, another great title, The developers deserve way more credit and attention than they get.

Great strategy game!

Well worth the money I spent, it was fun before the elite.

Best strategy title on the app store

This is so far the best true strategy game i have found ( not one of those crappy clash of clans type games) and if i could afford it i would buy elite for this AND the rpg, this game series actually has a bit of lore to it and i like that, managing the clans is always tough when old hatreds remain strong, and that just adds to the experience. Not only that, but this is so well done that my skills from other strategy games actually work in this, which says a lot for a mobile game. Good job, Trese Brothers, and keep up the good work!

Very Good, But needs something

It is an outstanding game, however randomly generated maps are definitely needed.

I own the elite version btw, but I bought it through the in app purchase so I cannot write a review there.

Thank you, Trese Brothers.

TLDR: check out the forum, watch the lets-play vids on YouTube and then download this engrossing 4X game...

This is yet another great game from the Trese Brothers, with constant updates, a great community and exemplary customer support.

Did I mention that the game was good too?

Yes. It most definitely is.

ST4X, as I will refer to it, has great depth to explore as you defend your fledgling colonies against the alien menace. It runs stably on my iPod touch 4th gen running iOS 6.2, with few bugs; with those present being quickly eliminated by the TBs as they appear.

The ship designer is probably my favourite part of the game, followed closely by the enormous tech tree.

Posting on the forum will result in a direct reply from Cory or Andrew usually within a few hours, alongside the community veterans that helped me out a lot when I started ST:RPG.

Looking forward greatly to Templar Battleforce when it releases in early July. In the meantime, I'm off to smash some more Xeno...
