### 4/5 — Fun game yet have some problems

*2023-05-18*

The game overall was fun but the issue is the characters faces when assign different classes. When you create a any character with soldier, gadgeteer, bounty hunter, and engineer, the characters faces changes, showing emotions. How ever when createing new characters with new classes achieve from missions. The face remain the same at it’s pretty wired and almost scary. Despite not affecting the gameplay and progress, the expressions show character and make them feel, real.

### 4/5 — Loved it

*2021-12-03, version 1.1.1*

My issue is the classes didn’t really feel like there was a variety and once you found the good classes the other classes just felt pointless to play so that hurt the replayability for me. Loved it though would like to see more like this or Knights of Pen and Paper

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2021-05-05, version 1.1.1*

I’ll make this short it’s a good game probably the best in the series it’s just a bit slow.

### 5/5 — An eye opening experience

*2021-04-18, version 1.1.1*

I felt like this game showed me that not all mobile games have to be grindy, as infested malware, and can be good games, one gripe is towards the end I found an upgrade for the blast attack, that let it hit all opponents and it oversimplified the combat, other than that highly recommended!

### 1/5 — Meh game from a terrible company

*2020-07-06, version 1.1.1*

TL;DR: Don’t buy this game. The game is not really worth the money and the company that made it has an extremely shady past. Take the positive reviews with a grain of salt.

I’ll start with the game itself. Long story short it’s basically fine. On its own merits it’s not worth the money but if you buy mobile games often you’ve probably paid as much for worse. Overall the game feels stale—a retread of their earlier games with no meaningful improvements (beyond some quality of life things that really should have been in their first game). I found the new mechanics like spaceship combat one dimensional and tedious. The revised skill system seems exciting until you realize they gave every character a lot of the same garbage skills to make it look more extensive and thought out than it really is. I’m not sure if the script is worse or the joke of the series is finally stale, but this game felt joyless and rote. The game’s scope is shallow like many big sci-fi rpgs with lots of empty space pretending to meaningful places. 

Don’t get me wrong: I understand people playing this game and enjoying it because it’s not bad—it’s just not good. It’s fine. 

But that’s not why you shouldn’t buy this game—again you could do worse. You shouldn’t buy this because this company doesn’t deserve your support or your trust. You might wonder why they make a big deal about how this game will always be a paid game. Seems like an odd promise doesn’t it? Well, that’s because they’ve cheated their fans in the past. Their previous game—knights of pen and paper 2—was everything this game isn’t—it took the original and improved it across the board. Where it innovated it did so well, and where retained the traits of its predecessor it did so wisely. It was well worth the price—until Behold and Paradox got greedy. They replaced the original version with a “free to play” version that locked much of the content players originally bought behind pay walls. If you wanted the version you paid for—too bad, it was gone BUT you could pay more than ten times the amount you originally paid to unlock it or grind for months to acquire the premium currency. Naturally they also revised the game a bit to make it slower and more frustrating—you know the usual f2p tactics. All in the interest of squeezing a few more dollars from a new audience—something they didn’t need to screw over their fans to do. They could have simply left the original paid version intact or offered fans another way to access it. They chose not to. 

I know this might seem like a lot of trouble to go to over a game to some of you. However, you experienced gamers out there know what it feels like to support a small developer—you feel connected to the people behind the game. You forgive the game it’s faults. You spread the word. You jump on their future offerings as much to support them as to actually enjoy their product. Sometimes you get screwed a little—the next game isn’t up to the standards you hoped or they don’t pursue the things you think they should. But this is beyond that. Behold Entertainment and Paradox defrauded their fans knowingly and intentionally. They also sandbagged any attempt to undo the harm they caused. They claim they offered compensation, but the compensation (some gold—not even the premium currency to unlock the game) was insufficient and, at least for me, never actually given. I fully expect they’ll find a new way to cheat those of us who bought a Galaxy of Pen and Paper. Never trust someone who immediately and unprompted promises they won’t cheat you...again.

I promised myself I would never buy another behold game, but after years I really wanted to believe the little Indy game studio that made the first pen and paper games would finally make something truly great. They didn’t, and they don’t deserve to be treated like they might anymore.

### 3/5 — Kinda meh

*2019-07-22, version 1.1.1*

It’s a good expansion of the series, but your characters level up too fast. By 20-30% of the way through you’ve got all the powers you’re going to use, and the game is pretty repetitive after that.

### 2/5 — Game breaking bugs

*2019-05-13, version 1.1.1*

I played the entire game, all 16 hours of it. As a true rpg, dungeon, turn-based fan I loved every second of it. The abilities were interesting and sometimes the bosses and enemies were difficult. There was a story that even though it wasn’t compelling made me want to play tabletop rpgs and humanized my created characters.

But at the end of 16 HOURS OF GAME I am halted by a game breaking bug. Where each time after I defeat the final boss, no matter what I do, no matter what I choose, the game CRASHES. And sends me back to the menu to fight the boss again, even though it saved my experience gained and items used. 

With that, no matter how much I enjoyed and loved the game I can give it more than two stars if it won’t validate my time, money, or effort.

### 5/5 — Masterpiece

*2019-04-25, version 1.1.1*

Are you tired of games littered with micro transactions? You know those Freemium games that force you to spend money using paywalls? This is not one of them this is a 3.99 glorious rpg that plays like a mix of Final Fantasy and Dungeons and Dragons but in space. Do yourself a favor and take a stand against all those freemium games and support these people who managed to make an amazing experience at a flat rate with NO MICRO TRANSACTIONS!!!! All the bad reviews for this game are from previous updates which I guess I had bugs but from my experience I would rate this game a 15/10. Do the world a favor and make more games like this

### 2/5 — No iCloud Saves?

*2019-04-17, version 1.1.1*

Not a terrible game, but I need the ability to transfer game saves between my phone and iPad.
I’d also love to see an option to flip between portrait and landscape mode.

### 2/5 — Great game, horrible technological execution

*2019-03-18, version 1.1.1*

I played this game daily for about 2 weeks and in that time the game has crashed on me upwards of 30 times. The gameplay is fine, story is fine, everything is fine except for the fact that the game just crashes whenever it feels like it. I’m realistically giving this game 1.5 stars because this NEEDS to be fixed. It should’ve been fixed before it was released
