Brilliant
It’s so good but I completed all the achievements and I just wish there was more so i’d have something to aim for again. Was great fun though.
A wonderful rendition of the best solo game ever created!
The sound design is extremely well done. Gameplay is on point.
My only critiques are that I wish it had the optional infirmary rules included in the boxed version of the game. I would also love to see the additional ships and expansions on here eventually. But this is still so well done that I just can’t not give it 5 stars with flying colours!

Favourite Solo-Player App
I am a fan of Tony Go’s solo table top dice game Deep Space D6. This App brings the game to your device. Good tutorial, smooth operation, tense gameplay.
1 downfall is there no variety of ships or dice. I hope more ships can be available with future updates.

You can’t win. Ever.
Even on the easiest difficulty, the enemies pile up so fast there is absolutely nothing you can do to win. Ever. Something has to be wrong with the rules.
Tutorial broken
Tried to learn how to play. 2nd round of tutorial appears to lock up. Happened twice. Had to quit game.
Works nicely on a 9th gen iPad
Wish we could get expansions, but nice to have this much
Needs stats, a local score option
What happened to the local highscores and local achievement screens? There are none.
The difficulty on easy mode is also unbalanced. Every time I play, the outcome is the same; starts easy… when nearing 10 threats remaining, the difficulty becomes harder, ie dice roll results become terrible, harder threats are reveals. After 5 threats, I get swarmed. Then finally I lose. EVERY GAME. Easy mode is only easy if you have more than 15-20 threats left. When further reduced, forget it. This is lame and broken.

Great game!
Love this game.
For what it is, it’s pretty good
I tan across this app and redownloaded it. On cell phone screens, like my 12, the tutorial text font is right at the edge decernability why do all developers have this same flaw, to use the smallest font possible.

Game is fantastic. I’d never heard of the board/table top game before but I think I’ll have to check it out after this playing this adaptation.
No IAP, no ads.
It’s a fairly simple concept and much of the fun is conceived in your imagination. I always picture myself on the deck of bridge barking orders at my stressed crew as we attempt to survive wave after wave of disasters and incoming enemy fire.
Absolutely great, kinder like D&D meets FTL but streamlined.
If any of that made sense to you and appeals to you then you need to download this hidden gem.

Great but could have more options…
Great little game though I wish there were more options. Since the creator of the app isn’t selling this I don’t understand why the game creator would reject allowing”fan-made” ships or cards.
Personally, I would be more drawn to the full boardgame knowing the full rules, which these are not. These are the print & play rules.
Here’s to hoping! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Awesome game!
Deep Space D-6 is a great little dice management game that takes the guesswork out of the rules of the physical game but retains all the tactical decision making.
I still bought a physical copy of the game because it’s super nice and it’s fun to alter the rules. And who doesn’t love throwing dice?

Fantastic game to play when your waiting
This game is a fun little thing to play if your waiting or on a bus. I think this digital version of the game is much better suited because not only can you take it anywhere, but since it’s much faster to play it is less frustrating when bad luck results in your ship being blown apart (which will happen almost every time unless I’m just very unlucky). In a way, this game is like solitaire. You play it, mostly without thinking but then occasionally it will throw a little challenge at you which is just enough to remain engaging

Finally finished
Well, I have played the game for about a year now, and I just finished all the achievements. The hat trick was the hardest. What a great game! Thanks, Devs!
Y’all fill the tip jar now, ya hear?

Total Random Trash
The implementation is great, kudos to the developer, but the game itself is just totally random trash.
You can literally lose an entire run due to rolling three of the same result on 6 dice.
You might as well flip coins and pretend you’re a winner or loser based on how many flips you guess right. Or try to guess a stranger’s birthdate. If you get it wrong, you “lose”! Oh no!
Avoid.

Too Luck Based
Like many others have said, this app is well designed and bug free HOWEVER after about 15-20 rounds, it is near impossible to overcome a series of bad rolls leading to your death. It’s almost impossible to win because of how luck based and heavily stacked the game mechanic is against you.
Great one handed portrait play
Simple game mechanic. Turn based, portrait, one thumb, free with no ads or IAP. Balance of strategy and luck. Several hours of fun.
beautiful app so-so game
like other reviewers, i find how often you have to toss out useless dice and get stuck in an overwhelming amount of threats frustrating. HOWEVER this is one of the board game to app ports ive tried that is beautiful and intuitively designed and works well. additionally the developer is offering this for free without ads! even if i get annoyed with my current game, i can foresee myself returning to the app often as the developer lets me play the game with ease and convenience over the original print and play.

Fun but rough
Amazing Game!
But the randomness ruins sessions immediately. I played about 6-8 games on varying difficulties and they all ended in my demise for stupid reasons. That’s it and that’s fine, but it isn’t for me long term.

Engaging Gameplay
This is fun. I wish there was a way to mitigate the effects of Meteoroid and Solar Winds. To my knowledge, you’re stuck taking that ten damage over the course of your play, which lowers your score.
