### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-05-09, version 1.4.0*

Especially if it would stop crashing every 5 seconds when I use a connected controller and hit B.
Also, the “target center of screen (a)” doesn’t target the center of the screen

### 5/5 — Mega

*2022-01-22*

Sind wir doch ehrlich, wir suchen sowas wie Freelancer! Und genau das ist es mMn. Super Spiel sieht gut aus steuert sich super und richtig gut gelöst mit dem zielen. Ich spiele es inzwischen mit dem Xbox Controller, was nochmal mehr Spaß macht, weil man mehr sieht. Top spiel aufjedenfall zu empfehlen. 

Und wirklich ein richtiges Game, nicht ein typisches handyman’s

### 5/5 — Nice

*2021-06-20*

Genau was ich erhofft habe

### 2/5 — Turn back

*2021-04-01, version 1.4.0*

I regretted purchasing this after seeing ‘subdivision’....
Which I promptly purchased....
This game has its perks, but unless you’re really dying to go retro...
You’re better off getting ‘Subdivision.

### 3/5 — Full of bugs, on Apple TV

*2021-02-11, version 1.4.0*

This review is for the Apple TV version.
Playing this with a BT controller (Xbox) and after 2-3 dockings at starbases, no more sound effects, only music...
After 2nd starbase in the market, every time I hit “B” to return to previous menu, the game exits to Apple TV main menu...instead of starbase menu.
After the 2-3 jumps through gates, the boost is working only randomly, needs to be pressed like 10 times, sometimes starts like 3-4 seconds later after pressing....

Apple TV 4k, 64G, available 48G. Controller fully charged every time.
I am playing other games with this controller on AppleTV and it works flawlessly.

### 2/5 — Not worth a purchase

*2021-01-04, version 1.4.0*

Wouldn’t purchase, good for a free game but not something I would pay money for

Game play is average, controls and menu’s are as well and I just didn’t enjoy it

### 2/5 — Fun but gets hard fast, therefore discouraging

*2020-11-24, version 1.4.0*

The enemy NPCs hit really hard right out of the gate. You have to really be on your toes and run away and wait for your shields to regenerate to survive, but it doesn’t matter because 90% of the time they shoot too fast for you to boost away, or they just dogpile you. I would give this game 5 stars but unless and until they redo the balance on beginning NPCs it’ll only be 2 stars from me. Games shouldn’t be this hard right off the bat, it discourages players from actually playing your game. Please redo the enemy NPCs for the starter zones or at least allow the player to change difficulty settings. As is, it’s too hard to level up in the beginning, so people like me give up and move onto something else. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this game until this issue is resolved. Will be happy to change my review to 5 stars if and when that happens.

### 2/5 — Decent game until it won’t start

*2020-06-08, version 1.4.0*

Game may need to be patched. It won’t start. It’s an old game though.

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2020-06-01, version 1.4.0*

The third(maybe?) mission where you have to travel to the 3 nav points for Anderson and take out pirates results in a crash after trying it 4 times now...I give up. Seems like I could be good, but not gonna go through this again. :(

### 4/5 — Fairly good.

*2019-11-25, version 1.4.0*

Though targeting is not intuitive.  You have to click on the ship (which I got fairly easily), but you also have to do so with asteroids if you want to know their composition.  They need to either make identification automatic, or at least have an in-game tutorials how to do it.
