Ian Bells und David Brabens Elite für IOS

Bin schon lange auf der Suche: Rogue Star fühlt sich beim Anspielen genau so an, wie Elite von Telecomsoft damals, Mitte der 80er, auf unserem Schneider/Amstrad CPC. Bin beeindruckt!

Love the game, please give us more!

I love this game, my son loves the his game, please add new adventures to this game!

Very nice games

With the large number of texts, however, inserting at least the Italian and French languages would clearly improve the fluidity of the game. 5 stars when you make it multilingual.

Actually good fun game

Absolutely a fun game, although it seems to still be in development and not 100% done. You for example can fly into the station through the open hangar doors and end up inside the station model and not in the station menu you usually enter by just hitting a button on your HUD. I am also a bit concerned about long term motivation and repetitiveness as currently all quests I can get are bring object from A to B. Another thing I‘d love is if we could customise our HUD a bit more and change the turn sensitivity. It would also be nice to have a HUD element that tells you where to aim to hit the target as right now fighting is more just spray and pray.

Best game

I was addicted it it when I was playing in Canada it’s so smooth and satisfying with so much freedom I just wish you can manually park. I love the gameplay it’s just the best

Good shooter

Reminds me of swing and other traders of old what makes it stand out are the brilliant touch controls to quickly adjust speed, shields power and lasers in dog fights.
The game engine is great and I managed 20hrs gameplay. But one the main 3 hard missions are done there is little else to play for. Feels a bit unfinished and I just want for the developer to have the extra dough to make this really impressive.
As a Brit I love the chat scenes as well, lots of British potty mouth humour!

Perfect but I am Stuck

This game is incredible I have played it so much but I don’t know why I can’t travel to Sol or buy any of the other ships

Help

Could have been

It’s the closest game to Elite that I have found to date. The only bits I did not like was the auction system which can be a little tedious. Full of good humour but only 3 stars as it has crashed twice and had to be reinstalled meaning that all progress was lost. Very frustrating.

Skip

It’s clunky, unbalanced, not well thought out and grindy. At the start you have to grind and grind just to be able to access more than three planets and there’s very little to do. So you just go around and around or pay for credits. The whole game seems to be geared towards that, the gameplay is limited and akin to games from the 90s at best.

Skip it, try galaxy on fire 2. That’s way way better than this and been around for ages. There are dozens of much better examples than this. The reviews are either people who haven’t looked around or are paid reviews. Luckily you can try for yourself for free, so go ahead and make your own mind up.

LOVE this game but ...

This is a very addictive, Elite-style game, that takes a bit of mastering, but once you've mastered it, it is EPIC! To those who say it's too hard, I say "stick at it": nothing worthwhile is easy, and it takes time and practice.

My only negative is, that I've run out of missions! Have I really out-played the programmers' expectations?

Please, give us some more updates? There was one mission with a secondary objective ... And I have several items in my inventory that have not become apparent why I have them ...

This game is crying out for more development!...

Great

Some people are reporting battles are too difficult. The thing to do is not flick at the joystick but keep your finger on it and slide it it makes battling a bit easier. Also adjust lasers and shields on the left. Keep at it its a good game. It's too hard! If you upgrade to a better ship the difficulty ramps up so you never get on top of it! A pity it's a good game otherwise.
Edit they’ve added an easier level for those of us not blessed with great combat skills and it works on latest devices! Now it’s free what more do you want?

Both fun & beautiful

This game is a fun pass time, and a creative display of graphic art. I would love to see more upscale missions than there are currently in the game.

Can't wait to see what Redbreast comes up with next.

Accessible, Responsive, Fun

As opposed to most other games these days, which are almost all some combination of overly complicated, clunky, or ethically shady. This is a real game, and it’s clever, fun, and challenging. I really hope the developers bring it to other platforms, such as Android and Switch. There is no need for a game this good to be exclusive to one OS.

Love space games please read

Love this game but can you please add more star systems and third person if you are reading thank you

Upgrade

Update to iOS 12 (IPHONE X) Pls

So close...

...to being the perfect space trader. But it just lacks depth. They have everything else right - the tone, the soundtrack, the humour, the handling during dogfights... but after a while it’s literally the same thing over and over. I don’t mind a grind, but this is absolutely the same thing - accept mission, warp, kill pirates, warp, dock, complete mission, accept mission and start again.

What I’ve been searching for

This game is amazing! It’s essentially open world, and you can choose your path and see the consequences of your actions. But at the beginning of the game, you don’t join a faction of pirates or guardians. You go on missions and protect convoys or destroy them. This will move you along on the spectrum of good and evil. Also, the graphics are great, the gameplay is fun and engaging, and it’s simply all-around a great game. I give this game 5 stars

Why not die?

Dying in this game doesn’t seem like it comes with nearly as stiff a penalty considering you can just pay a small sum or watch a video to respawn like nothing happened. I can’t find myself worried about any situation. Why do I even need a better ship when I can just respawn instantly?

Cool!

Right on! Having a blast plowing through pirates, especially in my new top of the line fighter.

Still awesome.

Game is still great. The in app purchase I don't mind. Helpful to speed things up. Bought the game but don't mind you now made it free. This game deserves to be in the spotlight, and I recommend to any sci-fi/dogfight/space exploration fans. Hopefully you guys update and add more stuff into it. Keep it up.
