### 2/5 — Used to be better

*2025-05-30, version 1.1.9*

You need reflexes like a jackrabbit on steroids when your ship is ambushed. Not great

### 4/5 — Neat little game

*2021-06-16, version 1.1.3*

It’s quite challenging in the beginning and addictive. However I feel like the gameplay could use a bit more mechanics or things to do.  I’d also like a way to end my turn early instead  of firing every shot.

### 4/5 — Addictive

*2021-03-24, version 1.1.3*

Strangely addictive.

### 3/5 — Used to be better

*2020-07-11*

I’m not sure what the issue is but when ambushed, the speed that the target moves at is just too fast to be hit. Wasn’t like this in the past. Running on an SE 2020

### 2/5 — difficultand...

*2020-04-24*

pc88時代の一般的なゲーム難度だなぁと思う。

### 4/5 — いい味出してる

*2020-03-25*

レトロ感がたまらない。
船によって特徴をもっと出して、強い所弱い所をもっと差別化すると選びがいがあると思う。

### 2/5 — Changed the game to focus micro transactions

*2019-10-05, version 1.1.2*

If you look at gameplay from previous years, you’ll see that the charging time for enemies and the speed for the aiming was very much slower. As soon as you get ambushed now, if the enemy is strong enough, you have very little hope of getting out of there alive. It’s not even a grind to get the coins you need anymore, it’s just frustration to the point of quitting. But, instead of quitting their hoping you’ll buy their coins with real money even though you already bought the game. Well, they lost my business for any of their future games seeing as the’ll corrupt old ones they had made.

### 4/5 — Not Bad

*2019-06-28, version 1.1.1*

This is a nice time waster! I wish directions were a little clearer and that you restart game from beginning.

### 3/5 — Amusing

*2019-06-20, version 1.1.1*

Fun for a bit. A steep learning curve but when it comes together its fun. Some more explanations in what things and add ons/parts do would be helpful. 

It also needs a restart button to clear the data and start over.

### 5/5 — Usual great stuff from Game Stew

*2019-06-15, version 1.1.1*

Slick, bite-size, silly and stylish game. Lots of fun.

### 5/5 — Quick fun

*2019-04-13, version 1.1.1*

Takes a bit of getting used to but then it's fun.

### 5/5 — Wciąga!

*2019-03-26, version 1.1.1*

Trochę za bardzo rozbudowane ulepszenia i modyfikacje ale i tak przefajna gra!

### 5/5 — good

*2019-03-09*

good game!

### 5/5 — Great little game

*2019-01-31, version 1.1.1*

Fun, addictive and while a bit grinds it is fun to fight every single battle. I wish there was a summary screen of all your bonuses

### 4/5 — Yo

*2019-01-09, version 1.1.1*

Wish there was a little more story

### 5/5 — Really solid

*2018-07-14, version 1.1.0*

This is a great game! I enjoy most I of the Game Stew titles. Really like the retro feel.

### 1/5 — 1 star now, formerly 4 stars

*2021-09-25, version 1.1.4*

Pros: Easy to learn. Upgrade system. Cons: People with slow reaction like me will struggle with the weapon firing mechanics. Ambush system is so annoying. If the boss ambushes, say bye bye. New review : Started a new game in 2021. Got ambushed by a boss on my third mission. Before I can escape, ship goes down after 2 attacks. No money to repair ship, cash goes into negative 800 gold. Considering you got only 200 per battle, ypu will never break even. This is no longer a game, it's punishment.

### 1/5 — I hate this game

*2020-02-28*

This is the worst game I’ve ever seen!Balance is worse than in mobile shooters.I can complete all dark souls parts without nervous,but this game makes me crazy.

### 1/5 — No story, requires lots of money

*2019-06-25, version 1.1.1*

Despite what some reviews say (likely fake ones I would guess), there is no story. Also, the game is designed to be impossible unless you pay money. I’m fine with micro transactions to speed up gameplay, but when you are literally forced to pay money to actually play the game... no.

### 1/5 — Сплошная череда прерываний действий.

*2018-07-31*

Крайне неудобно и неприятно. Постоянные прерывания одних действий другими. Попытки попасть прерываются либо атаками врага, либо супер атакой. У врага hp на одну атаку - на супер атаку на 15%. Базу начинают атаковать - никакой запятую боеприпасами. Попал в засаду - -1050 hp за две атаки по тебе . Да и тут попытки попасть ползунками в маленькую зону прерываются получением урона. Даже нюанс есть: при ведении боя после атаки врага, как бы ты не нажимал, проезжает процентов так 10 от полосы, но зато при засаде ползунок активируется сразу. 
Не торт.

### 1/5 — Разочарован

*2017-04-18*

Сюжета 0, игровой процесс на низшем уровне, который заключается в стрелочке бегающей по полосочке. Монстры наносят урона во много раз меньше, чем погодные явления. В целом монстры слабые, бывают, конечно, и редкие (посильнее), но они либо сносятся на раз-два, либо за 1-2 удара выносят корабль. Так что даже баланс никакущий. 
В заключении, хотелось бы пожелать разработчикам креативности и поменьше так позориться.

### 1/5 — Asaaaaaaajdjdhdbbdbdhxj

*2017-02-23, version 1.0.13*

大爛game

### 1/5 — 糞game

*2017-01-03, version 1.0.13*

垃圾遊戲

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2016-07-13*

Can kill only 1 enemy of 20. Very hard and unplayable.

### 1/5 — Ужас

*2016-07-01*

Невозможно играть! Все враги неубиваемые! Экономика тоже плохая в игре! 3/10 только за графику

### 1/5 — Rare is new common

*2016-05-29, version 1.0.12*

The game is bad cause when I first played it I went up against a rare enemy that demolished me and I had to go to deficit to fix my ship and get ammo and right after I did that went up against another rare enemy which pushed me back even further and once actually win it only give you 500g that's nothing compared to how much I owe the only way to get out of deficit is micro transactions and I played some off game stew games and there all like "this impossible to play" 
This game is good if you want to brake your phone and like paying money for useless g or gold which will be taken away from in 5 minutes!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2022-05-27, version 1.1.5*

Nice

### 5/5 — Lucky and endurance’s based

*2021-10-02, version 1.1.4*

Gotta stick with it

### 5/5 — Challenging and more fun than you’d think

*2021-06-21, version 1.1.3*

Game Stew games are all pretty much amazing, this one starts out seemingly shallow and mysterious, but rapidly pens up and expands story and play tactics as you unlock more of the different ship, and scavenge for chips and upgrades.  And the monsters attack your base unexpectedly, it’s challenging for sure but rewarding.

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-02-08, version 1.1.3*

A good game

### 5/5 — Gutt

*2020-11-29*

Хорошо

### 5/5 — レトロだけど、それがまた良い

*2020-05-15*

根を詰めず、たまに起動してプレイする。悩むな要素も少しはあるし、そこそこの難易度。変に計算したり攻略動画を見たりする必要もない、昔ながらのゲーム。でも、それで良い。たまにはね。おせちも良いけどカレーもね。

### 5/5 — good

*2020-03-02*

good game

### 5/5 — Great but punishing

*2019-12-07, version 1.1.2*

Great game but it is quite punishing for newcomer

### 5/5 — Pretty good game

*2019-06-24, version 1.1.1*

Well worth your money. Learning curves are hard, gameplay requires careful timing, but in reality the only downside is reinstalling if you wanna start over. Great game, and if you got a dollar or two to spare, you should buy it.

### 5/5 — Fun Way to Pass Time

*2019-06-16, version 1.1.1*

Easy gameplay, while still being interesting.
