### 4/5 — Fun game

*2015-07-05, version 1.1.1*

This is a fun, turn based, space/resources game.

### 4/5 — Awesome game, just one thing missing.

*2015-05-24, version 1.1.1*

All it needs is a soundtrack. Then it's definitely 5 star worthy.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Boring.

*2018-11-01, version 1.1.1*

Trite.

### 3/5 — Good but incomplete

*2020-04-23, version 1.1.1*

I really love the concept of the game however it has some issues. The main being lack of content. Literally the same to missions over and over. Help rebels on Ramon or blight on Mitus. That’s it.  The mini quests were good but became bugged and the person you are supposed to speak to never shows up.  Space combat is okay though hard to maneuver. I really like that you can mine asteroid fields and find loot

### 3/5 — Cool but needs work

*2019-11-01, version 1.1.1*

Fun and addictive game. I just wish they’d patch it so we can plot courses beyond a single jump and so that your cargo would remember what you paid for it.

### 3/5 — overall good game

*2017-02-26, version 1.1.1*

it's simple to play and very basic.
I have not had any problems with the game.
wish there was more to it...

### 4/5 — Starship Captain: Adventure in Alpha Sector

*2025-07-18, version 1.1.1*

Appears to be old Freeverse Game updated for latest IOS Version.  Question is if this developer added in any new tasks or features, or if they simply updated the game to make it work on a newer iOS version.

### 4/5 — Space Pirates Reboot

*2024-12-02, version 1.1.1*

I played Space Pirates in the 90’s. I remember finding it after the game won Java game of the year or something like that. Then apparently it was sold and I never saw it again until yesterday someone told me about this new version. Just started playing and it’s better than I remember. Thanks for bringing it back

### 4/5 — Simple RPG

*2018-10-28, version 1.1.1*

Travel around, basic trading with plots included. Fun to play but does not seem to have any end game. You have to set your own goals.

### 4/5 — I like this game

*2016-09-24, version 1.1.1*

It kind of satisfies that travel around and trade,mine stuff without too much unwanted complexity.

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2016-03-21, version 1.1.1*

The game is a great flashback to Space Pirates. I'd love more worlds, descriptions of the worlds, and more of a story line. Plus, free travel between worlds instead of paths would be awesome. Otherwise, totally entertaining.

Love the new mining controls.

### 4/5 — Tons of fun!

*2015-09-11, version 1.1.1*

Nice trading, mining, and fighting game.  Relaxing to play.  I'd like to see more upgrades and maybe a bigger selection of ships to buy.  Currently there is only one ship.  A banking system would add to the game.  Possible five stars after next revision.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-08-27, version 1.1.1*

It is very similar to a browser game I used to play called 'Space Pirate', and considering I’ve been missing that game FOREVER, this is a very good replacement, made by the same person!

### 5/5 — SSC 5 Star Game

*2022-07-31, version 1.1.1*

I'm having an awesome time playing this treasure. Great job

### 5/5 — Fun and simple

*2022-07-01, version 1.1.1*

This is a great little game to relax with. Thanks so much.

### 5/5 — Why isn't this more popular?

*2017-12-11, version 1.1.1*

This game is fun, and easy if you give it like ten minutes! I don't know if it was a glitch, buuuuuuut I wasn't treated to a tutorial, or even a "LET ME TELL YOU EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS" sorta thing, and it actually felt better than a tutorial. With the minimal "this does that, that does this" with certain screens, as well as a locked stat screen (which helps a lot) and crew and missions to keep you interested. I've barely scratched the surface on this, and I love it to bits.

### 5/5 — Simple and Fun and now add supported

*2016-04-10, version 1.1.1*

The micro payments have been removed. The game is simple and fun.  It reminds me of Traveler and Firefly.  Roam the verse, get jobs (missions) and try to keep the crew happy.  Or do Traveler and buy and sell cargo.

### 5/5 — Get

*2015-12-01, version 1.1.1*

Get this is worth it

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2015-06-24, version 1.1.1*

Needs a few more instructions.  But it is easy to restart if you screw up at first and run out of money, which I did.  Missions give the most money.  Well fighting may give more but I prefer trade or missions.  Upgrade your fuel tanks asap to get to more planets and be able to do more missions.  I am finding it addicting.
