Been playing for years

I’ve actually bought this game a few times over the years and just recently picked up a copy on Steam but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to run well on steam deck :( but I’m pleasantly surprised to see the devs have been making updates all these years.
Please consider adding controller support / steam deck support in the nearby future <3

Boring

I guess some people like all text games. I do not. I gave this game multiple chances, but I lose interest in 5 minutes. It's like a watered down Wish.com version Space Rangers with none of the strategy levels, none of visual feedback, and it's literally all text. Not my taste. I found it boring.

Unacceptable UI for iPhone 17 pro max

You can’t see the menus. With the notch . No settings to resolve. Do better devs.

EV Nova meets Darkest Dungeon

It’s literally the best game ever made.

By far one of the best games you could buy

Fun gameplay loop, in depth systems, pretty constant updates even years later . Good work trese brothers

Release a new era, dammit.

I said what I said.

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!
