About

Stellar Broadcast

Humanity did not build one ark. It broadcast seed ships across the stars. Earth is gone. In a final act of survival, humanity scattered colony vessels carrying frozen colonists, cultural archives, and the tools to begin again. You guide the last seed ship still crossing deep space, searching for a world where the mission can take root. EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN Each voyage is procedurally generated. No two runs are the same. Discover planets with unique atmospheres, resources, gravity, radiation, biodiversity, and more — over 42 distinct surface features shape every landing. MAKE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES Encounter over 167 narrative events with 400+ branching choices — asteroid fields, alien signals, derelict ships, crew conflicts, and cascading system malfunctions. There are no perfect answers, only trade-offs. MANAGE SHIP SYSTEMS Monitor 14 interconnected systems: hull integrity, navigation, cryopods, shields, culture archive, technology, constructors, landing gear, and six scanner subsystems. Your choices also shape your colony's ideology. SCAN AND EVALUATE WORLDS Deploy your scanner array on each planet. Watch the scan line reveal atmospheric composition, temperature, water coverage, gravity, radiation levels, and hidden anomalies — but readings can deceive. BUILD YOUR LEGACY Legacy Points earned from each voyage carry over. Unlock permanent upgrades: reinforced hulls, advanced scanners, warp navigation, and more. DAILY VOYAGES Every day brings a new seeded voyage — the same galaxy for every player. Compare strategies and scores.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Crash Land at none against Stellar Broadcast's 1. Crash Land also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Stellar Broadcast's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
