Never gets old

Genuinely the best game on the app store hands down. I downloaded this game a while back and it’s been a recurring download each time I get a new phone. Endless captains and a super engaging game loop this game fulfills every space captains itch. TRESE BROTHERS PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS GAME. Also one request is to add more cosmetics whether it be outfits or making more face options as I keep having to reuse the same face models on multiple play throughs. Also cyber knights is a goated game

no data collected but too grindy

too often the encountered ships destroyed mine. even early simple missions. 50/50 survival is 100% uninstall

Great game but hard

I love deep RPGs and this is one of them. However I’m not big on all the complex parts of this game. I always end up getting a certain way into the game and then encountering enemies I can’t beat. I lose a few battles and fail quests and then run out of money.

I’d love it if you added a story level of difficulty where the battles are a little hard but you never lose even when outmatched. I’d pay extra if you added that or add a way for me to pay $4.99 and get 5 million credits or something.

Thank you.

Underrated

A bit of a mix between freelancer and FTL. Choose what you want to do and which factions you want to support across the universe.

Find a better game

Actual dogcrap. Awful combat, painful UI that makes finding good trades far too lengthy, constant “oOo, SpAcE dAmAgE” godawful nonsense occurring every few seconds that wipe out any mediocre trade profits. There are a lot better trading games out here. Avoid this one.

Truly innovative for iOS

Star traders is so much fun, you can really get lost in the world and unless you’re killed, you just keep going, getting stronger, growing your own operation whether that’s being the strongest military ship in your faction or going around spying on everyone for who you decide deserves it. Awesome game, never seen this formula on iOS.

I want to Love this game, but it’s to FINICKY!!!!

It’s crazy how RNG this game is, so it makes early game gameplay a slug and coin flip. Then when you try to really invest in something, the game locks you out of the main story because you spent three months stuck in hyper warp. Wasting the whole hellish run. I hate this game for the time it’s wasted. It’s got way too much in it to be so finicky, the UI cramped, easy to misclick, save scumming basically needed. No way to make a good crew not completely out of dog water. I understand the guys have updated it for years, but it’s just to frustrating and iffy of a game to say it’s okay to INVEST time into. ABSOLUTELY NOT. It will screw too over each time on RNG, horrid UI, and extremely time limited story missions.

This game is incredible.

I’m enjoying this game more than any space RPG that I’ve played in over a decade.

Hard Mode

Hard mode is too hard… please provide tips book.

just a blast

I bought this game and set it aside for some time, clumsily wandered outside my first settlement for a couple of seconds and ran into a pirate ship. They had slightly stronger shields and armor so I closed in and boarded. My melee character got wounded pretty badly and morale went down the toilet for her, but we trashed the officers’ cabin, panicked the crew, then went back outside and riddled the ship with more fire. Finally the hull ruptured and my melee character got promoted to combat medic. This is old school gaming with a huge injection of modern depth. Love it.

Fantastic RPG

Amazing game, with regular updates.

BEST GAME EVER - please more stories

I can not say enough good things about this game! I love how you have so much freedom and the little details about crew and your officers that makes you feel like you’re actually a space captain… I have played through almost every type of play on permadeath and it’s so much fun!!! The only thing is that I wish you would add more stories! It’s so fun to play through the stories and would love more of them!

Ships

So uh… not to be a wet towel or anything ?but uh , we need ships . Like bigger ones to spend our long term millions on.

Awesome

This game is so much fun I am really enjoying it

Told you I owned these on multiple platforms.

This developer likes to abandon their games on other platforms, leaving people who paid for them without the product they bought functioning. I don’t expect it to work for a lifetime, but they truly love abandoning games.

Top Notch

This game has knocked my socks off. The quality is excellent. I like the narrative/free-roam balance. Interesting lore and characters. No ads, just straightforward one-time purchase of the game and you’re golden.
I’ve sank maybe a little over 30 hours into it and I’ve barely brushed the surface. It feels robust, and that’s something I don’t normally experience with mobile games. This game set out with a goal and absolutely crushed it!

If you enjoy RPGs, this game is worth a play.

For real gamers

I’m a 40 something nerd. I don’t as a rule play mobile games. I procrastinated for weeks considering what to play as I found myself stuck in a hotel 3 nights a week with a work laptop and my iPad. What an absolute find this game has been. Deep, complex, rewarding and beautifully executed and designed. Truly superb. This game can stand shoulder to shoulder with any game in this genre on any platform.

Chinese thanks

Könnte nice sein…

Sehr unübersichtlich, keine Einführung.

Obtuse, requires wiki

Don’t be deceived by the high aggregated score.

This company either pays for reviews or has a core “early-access” crowd boosting the score.

With no tutorial and dense mechanics, this game is almost unplayable without consulting a wiki.

This is apparent from character creation onward, followed by a few comically unexplained prompts leading to the main quest.

In addition, many UI elements are tiny and unexplained.

If you enjoy mystery novels, perhaps you will find delight in the pain.
