Galaxy Trucker

The developers did almost everything right here. The game plays smoothly. The words are large, and easy to read. The sound effects are good. I could go on and on. So why only two stars from me? There is no turn-based option in the Campaign game or in the Alien Technologies game. You are forced to play real-time games, at least at the start. I hate that. I’m not a teenager any more. I don’t have the reflexes that I used to have. I need time to think. I paid for this game, but I am denied time to think. There is no good reason for that. So I am shut out of those games. That’s just wrong. On edit: I’ve played many more games of Galaxy Trucker. The Custom Game with the Alien Technology expansion is magnificent. You are presented with all sorts of starting options to pick from. There is no better word to describe that. It is magnificent. But unfortunately I must still rate this game two stars overall. As I mentioned previously, for no good reason I'm being forced to play real-time in the Campaign game and in the Alien Technologies game. Fix this flaw, and Galaxy Trucker is a true five-star gem.

Just as fun as the board game, and the campaign is nice edition.

Well contained. Good adaptation. Campaign mode keeps interest. Need to design other campaigns!

I didn't expect the devs could do justice to this great board game. The real-time ship building would seem particularly challenging, especially on the small screen real estate of an iPad. It's stunningly good, as is every other aspect of the game. And it goes above and beyond the board game by adding in single-player play, an awesome campaign mode, and juicy achievements.

Enjoying it immensely

Still one of the best boardgame implementations on iOS. I could play this all day. Great graphics, controls, and gameplay.

I've tried deleting and reinstalling, rebooting, updating the software, and nothing. Shame. I was looking forward to the game.

I enjoyed the game immensely over the summer and had some time to play today. However, the app will no longer load. Sad to see this one go; hopefully a fix is on the way.

Love this game! Many issues with the App though (iPad version): 1. No sound without headphones 2. Sync issues are infuriating; completed missions become incomplete and game prompts me to do things I have already done (class three ship, aliens, etc.) 3. Can’t get to Alpha mine: the robot asks if I want to go there but then I can’t choose that dialogue path 4. Achievements not registering after completing them Otherwise, again, love this game.

I can’t imagine how they could have done this any better! Great game solo and with friends!
