Love this game, however needs some QoL features

I absolutely love playing this game however its in need of some quality of life features, in particular:

An autopilot for doing multiple warps in a row

Specifying what stations sell a certain item in a sector instead of just showing if that item is in demand or not in thats sector

A parking brake for the planetary rover

(More of a QoL change) make the hitbox of asteroid’s bigger so using seismic charges isn’t as difficult

Great pace sim, cool premise, good story.

This game scratched the space exploration itch I didn’t know it had. Only one issue though, is that as of this review it crashes when I’m mining (usually) upon clicking the quests key n the menu that appears when you click your ship. I just want to check how many more bauxite I need! Anyway, great game!

Excellent Game

I’m loving this game. love how huge the area that you can travel is, however it is a little confusing how to increase fleet size and how to get two further places like the void. And when you’re trying to map a route for jumping the mapping doesn’t always work even when your ship can make it and you instead have to resort to doing it manually. One thing I would love to see. A way to search in the galaxy map for resources you need to mine so you could map a route to that system for mining missions

Love it!

Outstanding work on this and great price point. Tons of different missions and ships. Always fun to upgrade your ship and try tougher runs. Only about 10 hrs in and love the fact that there are no pay walls. Hopefully they add the ability to build stations and concur systems, but as is, it’s still 5 stars.

Great game, steep learning curve

Best space sim on ios hands down. Required a lot of trial and error before figuring out how stuff works but very rewarding once you know your way around

*CREATOR REQUEST* please add save extraction for save editing or money cheats, stuck at like 110M in a Valkyrie and dont have it in me more to grind 500+ for a full upgraded Nemesis

What an amazing game.

There I was scrolling through the app store and seeing nothing but pay-to-play garbage and I’m thinking, “The phone I’m holding has more power than my first gaming console. There have to be better options.” After a little digging, I found Galaxy Genome, and yes, I finally found an iphone game that gives the old NES library a run for its money. It’s not perfect, a little buggy in places, but it is light second ahead of what you usually find on the App Store. It’s basically a 2D Elite Dangerous but with better story, better progression, and better art. If you love space sim rpgs, this one’s well worth the price.

Please Please Keep Updating This Hidden Gem

Many Thanks

Game crashes when I’m attempting to jump my space station

Otherwise, it’s a great game to unwind and play.

Elite?!

Been looking for an Elite esc type mobile game and finally found one. Love it and highly recommend it!

Small issue with sound

I played for a bit then switched to fallout shelter for daily stuff and it had no sound. The only game that has sound is this one. So ya ….. is there a fix for this?

My favourite waste of time

Genuinely a great game with tons of depth and gameplay loops. If you’re a fan of games like elite or freelancer you’ll love this too.

Would kill for mod support on iOS, but I think that’s my only complaint.

Currently about 300 hours deep

Very glad I found it

Well, searching around for this kind of game didn’t lead me to this - somehow I discovered it randomly. I’m not sure why there are people comparing it to elite dangerous: I would just compare it to every good open-world space rpg. It’s not a 4x (or maybe it is but I didn’t get that far yet) it does have many features of games like the X series. It’s similar to a range of other top down soy ace RPGs but slightly far I can say it plays really well whereas many others have control or gameplay issues this feels like everything is the way I would have wanted it.

Poggers

Definitely worth a try if you have a bit of disposable time. I’ve got about 20 hours clocked in the game so far and I still feel like I have so much left to do.

2D Elite

My favourite IOS game, absolutely perfect. Great fun and can’t wait to see what else the dev does

“2D” Simplified Elite Dangerous

This game borrows a good amount from Elite Dangerous and even a bit from the old Space Pirate game (that was around ages ago, which was really a space trading game). While it’s a top-down 2D title, it’s well laid out, has a solid amount of missions, several flushed-out game loops, and a primary mission/storyline to undertake. And, perhaps best of all, the game’s creator is active on Discord and Reddit and does take into consideration what people ask or suggest. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but then again, neither is Elite Dangerous. But for those looking for an engaging space trading, combat and missioning sandbox with a story set within it, it’s an excellent game.

This is insane for mobile

Alright this is on parr with elite dangerous in terms of core game mechanics, probably better because you get the foundation of elite but this game gets rid of the all the pointless “freedom” that elite has which is great for ‘keeping it simple’ which alot of people like. Well done, well worth every dollar! Plus the price is hard to turn down!

Puzzling

I would’ve preferred this as an email to the developer but since no contact information is listed, I have to do it this way.

Mostly this feels like a puzzle game to me because of the lack of necessary information to accomplish things. It reminds me of Endless Sky in this regard especially, and the 2D environment feels similar.

There should be a wiki that explains trade, combat, exploration, etc.: and in-depth! Not just the broad, generic overview under the information tab which is almost worthless if one needs information on how to actually play the game. As it is, I spend more time trying to figure out how to complete a storyline mission than actually playing the game.

Aside from the self-explanatory freight or courier missions listed, there’s zero information about the “station needs” or donation ones, so I just ignore them now since they apparently only exist to destroy my reputation. I mean it looks like it’s probably a great game and I mostly like it. But better information from developer would be appreciated.

Top Down Elite Dangerous

Really solid game 5/5. If you played Elite Dangerous then you will love this mobile take on the same style, discord is active and has a decent community supporting the game! Hoping for more BIG updates soon!

No worth playing

Wish I could get a refund, that bad
