## What is Nomads of the Fallen Star?

IMPORTANT: Requires iPhones that are 5.5 inches (6 Plus) or larger, and iPad Mini 2 generation or newer.

ABOUT THIS GAME:

Set on a distant uncharted & hostile planet, where descendants of a crashed colony ship endure the harsh wasteland while hoping for salvation. 

However, decades have passed without contact from the fleet and skirmishes between different factions over limited resources have escalated.

A full blown war of conquest looms on the horizon that could risk humanity's fragile existence on this harsh new world.

As the chaos approaches, you take the role as the leader of a rag-tag bunch of scavengers / mercenaries. Your goal is to scavenge, trade, sabotage, hunt, fight and help conquer your way to fame and glory.

Along the journey, you will meet allies that will join in the struggle to survive the wasteland, and perhaps together, you can unravel the mystery on the origins of the colony and change the fate of all those who call this barren world home.

KEY FEATURES:

* A world where your choices matters as the factions try to survive and wage wars of conquest.

* A highly dynamic economic simulation ensures not only your actions carry consequences and present new opportunities, but also the actions of various NPCs.

* Competitive gameplay that involves other free roaming NPC scavengers that fulfill the same role as the player. They can trade, scavenge resources, take on missions, and fight hostile raiders or xenos. Competition can be fierce, so beware!

* Recruit and equip your squad with many different weapons, each providing a unique balance and tactical options. Train their combat skills as they gain levels, and specialize them further with a selection of many perks.

* Hunt the xenobeasts on this hostile world and use their skin, carapace, and organs in crafting useful items and armor.

* A sandbox that is also character & story-driven, with an sci-fi story themed on loss, duty and personal responsibility, along with side-quests and random encounters.

Additional Notes:

I am a solo developer and I lack the resources to support other languages, as such, the game is English only. If you run into issues or want to contact me, I can be reached via email (halfgeekstudios@gmail.com) or twitter (@AH_Phan).

### 4/5 — Latest update was the charm...

*2019-08-28, version 1.04*

Been eyeballing this since release for my iPad Pro 12’9” but was worried about the ui more than complexity. After seeing how responsive the developer is I dropped the $ today and I am impressed. Very deep, have no clue what to do(yet) which to me is a good sign, and I’m looking forward to having my old xcom brain stimulated as we all know iOS is severely lacking in this game category. I hope to update this review to 5 stars because, uh well, I think it will merit that given the hard work and speed at which the developer has been working😎

### 3/5 — Updating to 3 stars for now

*2019-05-12, version 1.04*

Responsive dev that brings a premium product to the bleak landscape of iOS deserves this as a start.  I will update once I get further in.   Well done Dev!

**Developer response:** Sorry for the bug, I introduced it in the touch UI redesign. I've submitted an update that fixes it, should be live in less than a day.

### 1/5 — No full screen support

*2019-04-27, version 1.0.0*

I can’t understand why a game would release today and not have full screen support for newer devices.  Lacks the polish to justify the price.

**Developer response:** The full screen scaling issue (black bars) has been fixed since update 1.02.

### 5/5 — Not much like it on mobile

*2019-04-24, version 1.0.0*

This is a deep and complex game with a simulated economy and turn based tactical combat, by a solo dev who is very responsive to feedback. Worth supporting.
