Неудели сложно было на русский и это перевести ### 2/5 — Minha opinião *2024-12-08* Não gostei muito do fato de ser pay for win, já que todas as outras naves espaciais precisam de dinheiro real. Tirando isso, é um jogo completo com gráficos excelentes! ### 4/5 — I like it *2024-12-04* People with skill issues can’t play the game but I thought it was very nice and for the people that can’t aim there is an auto aim button it took my 3 seconds to shoot down three that’s it. Skill issues!! ### 2/5 — Unplayable *2024-11-23* Promising description but … that’s about the best I can say about this game. Took me 10 min to shoot down one of the 2 pirates in the first mission. Don’t even want to think what lies ahead… Controls are unnatural to anyone who’s played a decent sim. Push means dive and pull - climb. ### 4/5 — Пара моментов *2024-10-27* В принципе мне игра нравится, но можно было изменить кое-что в ней. 1. Геймплей порой скучноват: в битве просто зажми кнопку прицела и стреляй. Можно было-бы свободу перемещения дать как в жизни с петлями, уворотами и вращением своего корабля вокруг горизонтальной оси. 2. Торговля тоже должна быть интереснее: не просто откуда-то куда-то что-то привести, а полноценную миссию дать с конкретной политикой торговли. Добавьте таможни и конкретную базу, из которой можно взять ресурс (вместо любого места). Так будет понятно, что ты имеешь реальный вклад в политику фракций 3. Я сперва не понял, но тут есть РЕДАКТОР!! Я не первый, кто делает свой сценарий, но надо в поиске сценариев от игроков надо кое-что поправить, а именно выбор региона. Я в России делаю для русских свой сценарий и такое чувство, что я единственный в России, кто делает сценарии. Всё, что нужно сделать, это добавить регион поиска сценария, а то в комьюнити там ещё испанцы) Повторюсь, что игра мне нравится, просто я ожидал чего-то большего. Я не попрошайка, но выбора региона в поиске сценария мне хватит. Остальное мне не как-бы не нужно, но если вы добавите всё, что я перечислил, то игра станет популярнее. ### 3/5 — So much potential *2024-09-12* I was hoping for something like Galaxy on Fire. This title came close but really fell short of expectations. I bought the premium pack just to support the dev anyway. This could have been a killer game. For starters, don’t even bother with combat jobs. Anything having to do with combat is literally costing you more in-game currency after refuel and repair than what you make completing the jobs. Combat is probably the most unrewarding experience in the game. Don’t even bother sending a fleet of ships into combat because your partner ships’ AI is complete trash. They will fire once and be destroyed many times, tripling your repair costs, before you finally decide “Enough of this. I’ll just do combat alone”, and eventually just stop doing combat altogether. Trade is fun but grindy. Eventually you’ll be bored of this game. ### 4/5 — Love the Game, A Few Recommendations *2024-02-20* ***SPOILER ALERT*** Enable us to build worm hole gates. Add fleet command instructing a ship in your fleet to defend another ship in your fleet. Why does time progress only for the system in which you are currently located? I understand that depending on the size of the star within a system that gravity could change the speed at which time passes but to put a system on FULL PAUSE because you are not currently in it is ridiculous. How are we supposed to make ship parts and earn credits within systems that we have built up and set in motion to be self sufficient? Isn’t that the whole point of the game? Why can’t we leave a system to retrieve commodities for a trading/smuggling mission? Compartmentalization of systems for missions seems shortsighted. ### 5/5 — Amazing, but..... *2023-08-03, version 1.5.2* I love this game, but I would like to make some requests. Allow the player to control the capital ships. Allow the player to have a crew on the capital and passenger ships. And board an enemy capital ship with a passenger transport and fight there crew and take over the ship ### 5/5 — 9.8/10 *2023-05-13, version 1.5.2* This isn’t an npc comment. This game is outstanding 👌 ### 5/5 — Game of the century *2023-05-11* I love this game and enjoy playing I read the review from 2 years ago im and I agree with some of his suggestions like capturing and adding ships to your fleet and higher level ships for purchase but not premium I have every non premium ship minus freighters so I really looking forward to something new don really like the alien missions the extra cumulative damage does not last and is kinda annoying but other wise greatvgame ### 4/5 — I love this game but… *2023-04-29* I love this game, and I play it a lot in my free time, but in my opinion, you guys should add a feature to where you can control a capital ship, and I think that would make this game better. This is all my opinion, and if you see this, please at least consider it. Barley any game like this I’ve played will let you do that, so in my opinion, that would make this game stand out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not my cause *2025-04-21, version 1.6* BETEE luck else where ### 1/5 — Avoid *2024-11-12, version 1.6* Unfortunately, the ads have made this game unplayable. They happen so often that it destroys any elements of immersion. ### 1/5 — Auto miss *2024-03-10* Why would I can’t go to planet’s surface/atmosphere?😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Грабеж *2023-08-27* При посадке на станцию с недостатком топлива для прыжка и недостатком денег на заправку со станции невозможно взлететь. Требует заправить корабль только за реальные деньги (встроенная покупка). Такой наглости разработчиков еще не видел. ### 1/5 — Virtual joystick impossible to play *2023-07-21, version 1.5.2* I tried for an hour to kill one enemy craft with the touch screen controls. I changed the setting sensitivity to no avail. It is impossible to fly combat missions via touchscreen. They are just to slow and glitchy… And I on the latest iPad. Such bad design. Literally one hour and couldn’t kill any of the first mission pirates, not even a luck shot. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND SHAME ON YOU FOR PORTENDING THE TOUCH SHREEN CONTROLS FEATURE IS A VIABLE OPTION. ### 1/5 — Cant even fly staight *2023-06-16, version 1.5.2* JFC, cant even fly straight without being veering HARD on L/R. Cant even just stay still, what gives? -1 star ### 1/5 — Jobs? Missions? *2022-11-18, version 1.5.2* You can take a “job” or “mission” and when you do, it appears on your job or mission bar, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to fulfill the job or mission. Too bad. Some clearer explanations would make the game playable. ### 1/5 — xbox controller *2022-10-01* wish the x box one controller worked with this game ### 1/5 — Cool Graphics But.... *2022-05-26, version 1.5.2* It is too darn hard to control without a controller, and even then. ### 1/5 — The carrier looks like from E:D *2022-05-26* The carrier looks like from Elite dangerous, and the ships that you wander look like some elite dangerous stuff. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ashman64 *2026-07-07* It is the Goat only can add a ginormous ship like the Death Star. Also something like a hyperdrive would be cool. You can have like a special coins called Quantum Coins that help you upgrade to supersonic speed. Maybe also a special move called like The Drill that allows you to slam into enemies. Those are some cool ideas that you can put in otherwise great game. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Pls update *2026-02-21* It’s a really good game but there hasn’t been an update that added content in years. I would play the hell out of it if there was a battle ship class or even the ability make your own nation and go to war against others. It’s story is still very fun but once your done with it there isn’t much to do other then become a mercenary and buy more stations. It does have flaws yes but it is still a really fun game and I just wish that the developers made updates that added new content to make the game even better. ### 5/5 — Pls update *2025-11-29, version 1.6.5* Developer pls update ### 5/5 — Très beau *2025-02-02* Jeu très agréable et fluide, les graphismes sont beaux, avoir des missions sur les planètes serait un plus. Les paysages sont peut-être un peu répétitifs, les variés quand ont change de galaxie serait un plus. Bravo et merci, c’est quand même un plaisir de jouer. ### 5/5 — Free play mode in the campaign? *2024-09-02* Hi Homenet, I love your work with your games and was wondering if you are going to add free play mode in the available campaigns in the game along with the ability to never have to end a campaign because if you complete it then it will feel stale because you only fight pirates. please add more post game content. Is there a limit to how many ships you are allowed to have in your personal feel and your own custom campaigns ### 5/5 — Game of the century *2024-07-03* I love this game and enjoy playing I read the review from 2 years ago im and I agree with some of his suggestions like capturing and adding ships to your fleet and higher level ships for purchase but not premium I have every non premium ship minus freighters so I really looking forward to something new don really like the alien missions the extra cumulative damage does not last and is kinda annoying but other wise it’s a incredible game ### 5/5 — Why I love this game *2024-07-01, version 1.6* I’m a Star Wars fan and I love this it’s basically like battling in Star Wars it’s amazing and fun I highly recommend ### 5/5 — Great gand *2024-05-30* Great game all I wish there was, is a restart button during missions which takes you back to the last stations ### 5/5 — Хорошо. *2024-03-19* Игра хорошая но сделайте задания сообщества прошу! И флаги к ним допустим: Компания: битва за Сириус. Государство: Республика марса. И когда миссия будет значок у каждой компании допустим: компания Солнечная система и значок/флаг синдикат. ### 5/5 — The Better StarField? *2023-11-10* Hi it’s me again and the game is so simple yet complex and it feels so good when you can bring any amount of ships you want with you and it might be better than StarField even though I haven’t played the game but please continue working on this game it gives me so much happiness that I really would love if you could respond to me --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
