Seems a nice game otherwise, but I cannot play in this orientation. Thank you. ### 2/5 — No turn-based option *2024-09-20, version 3.6.852* The developers did almost everything right here. The game plays smoothly. The words are large, and easy to read. The sound effects are good. I could go on and on. So why only two stars from me? There is no turn-based option in the Campaign game or in the Alien Technologies game. You are forced to play real-time games, at least at the start. I hate that. I’m not a teenager any more. I don’t have the reflexes that I used to have. I need time to think. I paid for this game, but I am denied time to think. There is no good reason for that. So I am shut out of those games. That’s just wrong. On edit: I’ve played many more games of Galaxy Trucker. The Custom Game with the Alien Technology expansion is magnificent. You are presented with all sorts of starting options to pick from. There is no better word to describe that. It is magnificent. But unfortunately I must still rate this game two stars overall. As I mentioned previously, for no good reason I'm being forced to play real-time in the Campaign game and in the Alien Technologies game. Fix this flaw, and Galaxy Trucker is a true five-star gem. ### 2/5 — No turn-based option *2024-08-16* The developers did almost everything right here. The game plays smoothly.

With one in Canada and the others in UK but with varying life patterns it is the only way we can make game play work. Galaxy Trucker is one of those games. There are minor gripes about having to wait for players to make little choices, but that’s asynchronous. E.g. When waiting for other players to pick which planet, if any, they will explore, the other players could rank the planets they want to explore. And after the first decision is made it can cascade and the player online immediately get to their next decision. All in all, GT is a great, fun game. Not gonna stop playing any time soon. ### 3/5 — Très bien mais… *2024-01-22, version 3.6.811* Le jeu plante systématiquement quand on ajoute un joueur humain dans la partie tour par tour. ### 2/5 — Love the game but can’t play local multiplayer *2023-10-14* The app crashes whenever trying to use local multiplayer (pass & play) on an iPad. Soon as you add a second player’s name and hit accept the game crashes **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for info. We are aware of this issue, we will try to fix it. ### 2/5 — Good game, it but needs more options *2023-02-21, version 3.3.120* The developers did almost everything right here. The game plays smoothly. The words are large, and easy to read. The sound effects are good. I could go on and on. So why only two stars from me? There needs to be more player options. It would be nice to pick the game length. And it would be nice to pick which components and which Adventure Cards to use. For example, I like the Armor piece and I like the Billiards card. I don’t like Epidemics. And I HATE Sabotage. With one bad Sabotage roll, you can lose the entire game. That’s just silly. Please, developers. Take a look at the Monopoly game app. There are so many options available! We paid for this game. Give us a more freedom. ### 5/5 — Fantastic port of a fantastic game *2022-08-01, version 3.3.120* I didn't expect the devs could do justice to this great board game. The real-time ship building would seem particularly challenging, especially on the small screen real estate of an iPad. It's stunningly good, as is every other aspect of the game. And it goes above and beyond the board game by adding in single-player play, an awesome campaign mode, and juicy achievements. ### 5/5 — Genial *2022-07-23, version 3.3.120* Es un gran juego. Reglas fáciles y no es sencillo ganar a la máquina. Muy entretenido. Para volver a jugar de vez en cuando. ### 5/5 — Hervorragend *2022-06-05, version 3.3.120* Hervorragende Umsetzung! Alle Möglichkeiten des digitalen Mediums genutzt. Sehr gute Einführung für Anfänger. Es macht einfach Spaß! Das Spiel an sich ist luftig, taktisch, spaßig! Online: meldet ständig, dass mein Account nicht einloggen kann. Im Browser sagt es dass Account nicht existiert. Neues in App kann ich nicht anlegen. Blöd. Passwort-Eingabe erlaubt kein Paste und zeigt nur *** was echt nervig ist, weil man bei Erzeugung zweimal eingeben muss. ### 5/5 — Lotsa fun *2022-02-07, version 3.3.81* Enjoying it immensely ### 5/5 — Excellent adaptaion *2021-12-20, version 3.2.47* Same mechanics as the board game. Very enjoyable. Does not yet work on an M1 Mac. ### 5/5 — Truckerin *2021-12-13, version 3.2.47* Voll gut!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-10-18, version 3.1.5* I used to play the board game with my friends and I have to say that this adaptation is extremely well done. The singleplayer is great ### 5/5 — Great game *2021-09-06, version 3.1.5* Still one of the best boardgame implementations on iOS. I could play this all day. Great graphics, controls, and gameplay. ### 5/5 — Hallo mein Name ist Christian *2021-07-28, version 3.1.5* Super Angebote Mega cool ### 5/5 — Brillant *2021-03-28, version 3.0.166* Tout ce que le jeu de société nous offre! Très très belle adaptation! La campagne offre beaucoup de diversité et un bon sentiment de progression! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No turn-based option *2023-05-24* The developers did almost everything right here.

So one star from me. ### 1/5 — Manual start on online game *2021-09-25, version 3.1.5* This will not let me start a manual online game -it tells me the owner of the game will have to manual start - I am the owner of the game and I set up the lobby but it WONT LET ME START THE GAME - This game is now broken ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2021-03-08, version 3.0.166* I've tried deleting and reinstalling, rebooting, updating the software, and nothing. Shame. I was looking forward to the game. ### 1/5 — Ios 10 *2021-02-10, version 3.0.166* High The game don't fonction on iOS 10.4 i am not happy too pay for a game i can't play. 😡😡😡 CAN you help me?thanks ### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all *2020-09-03, version 3.0.166* I have all of the compatible software and hardware as detailed on the product page here but the game simply won't load. The software developers logo screen appears for about 2 seconds and then it just crashes. That was a waste of £5 then. ### 1/5 — Aug 17 update breaks app on my iPad *2020-08-18, version 2.9.93* App no longer runs. Sent message to their support (I think). Will wait for reply. ### 1/5 — Would be better if it can actually run *2018-06-27, version 2.8.3* Keeps quitting after I creat my character ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2017-12-14, version 2.7.1* Now crashes on loading multiplayer. iPad Pro . 11.2 iOS ### 1/5 — Laggy after update *2017-10-24, version 2.6.1* Real time games super laggy after update :( Update: it seems to have gotten worse after update. Played the game for years via real-time games and after the last major update we have to restart constantly during each game to progress :( We love this game, but unbearable to play in its current state ### 1/5 — Optimized Crashing for iPad1 *2015-09-10, version 1.7.20* Do not but this if you have an iPad1. I have yet to get this game to even load. Most times I crash at the loading screen, once I made it as far as the create a profile screen (for all of 2 seconds). Update with latest version: crashes immediately. I know that the iPad1 doesn't have the same processing or memory power as other iPads, but when the new version came out declaring that it was now optimized for iPad1, I didn't hesitate to shell out the $. I was super excited to be able to play this awesome game... Clearly the testing they did was on an iPad with nothing else on it. I tried the usual tricks.... Power cycle, to reset the memory..., Put it in airplane mode, to prevent mail fetches and other update checks from running.... Reset everything.... But nothing worked. Checked system logs and can see that all crashes are due to low memory. Deleted any other apps that were obviously running, deleted all but my primary email account, and anything else I could think of and managed to get it running once... I then almost made it through the tutorial before crashing. This is in some ways worse as now I've had a small taste of the app and think it looks great. Will keep trying and post any solution I find. As of this version please do not buy for iPad1! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-04-03, version 3.6.916* Awesome campaign. ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2025-08-16, version 3.6.900* A remarkably good version of this fun game! ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2025-08-01, version 3.6.900* Great adaption, super fun!! ### 5/5 — Důstojné zpracování stolní verze a *2025-03-24, version 3.6.882* Miluji hry Vládi Chvátila a mám jich hodně a tato verze je hratelná i pro mé osmileté děti, navíc má bezvadnou kampaň pro jednoho hráče a jde sdílet v rodinném sdílení ... co dodat . No nekup to za ty prachy! ### 5/5 — Polished campaign *2024-05-11, version 3.6.843* This is a smooth implementation of a great board game, with a single player campaign that they clearly put a lot of work into! ### 5/5 — So good. *2024-03-05, version 3.6.811* Just as fun as the board game, and the campaign is nice edition. ### 5/5 — Muy divertido *2023-07-23, version 3.5.650* Un juego muy entretenido y con una campaña muy divertida ### 5/5 — Very good game! *2022-12-08, version 3.3.120* Bought the game on the back of having played the board game at work one lunch time. Plays well, and the graphics are cool. One downer is that there’s not enough screen space to place your revealed (and discarded) cards. This makes the whole thing cluttered -though this adds extra tension when scrambling to find that one piece and time is ticking! Overall a good game, well worth the asking price. BTW ~ works fine on iPad 9th gen. ### 5/5 — Great app for Price *2022-11-08, version 3.3.120* Well contained. Good adaptation. Campaign mode keeps interest. Need to design other campaigns! ### 5/5 — Played the board game…. *2022-09-11, version 3.3.120* and love it. Now the app was a no brainer. It’s so good. Playing GT solo is almost as good as playing with friends at the board. And if you haven’t played the board game the app will make you want to get it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
