So much depth and has been well supported by the developers for years.

Always getting updated, haven’t come across any major, game destroying bugs or glitches, however the guy isn’t there for the reward in ‘Freedom Calling’ after you liberate the guy. Also, would love to see the ownership of multiple, functioning ships. I understand that this game isn’t about fleet management, however it would be natural for a prosperous character to create a fleet of ships, not only for the potential revenue return, but to cement and grow their power. Also Brokstrom should offer missions, especially if the player sided with her. Edited: It is difficult to read some character information in combat, and planet information on the map screen, due to the screen appearing halfway off screen. Please fix.

You can see a large amount of development has gone into this game but the overall net effect is clumsy. The features I liked about this game was the ship to ship and group to group combat, the depth of options in character and ship development and the ability to interact with the galaxy on a variety of dimensions including trade. I also really liked that it had an upfront fee and didn’t seek to gouge the player for further cash. However, I got to the point after hours of play that the game became boring, the dialogue repetitive and channeling and the interfaces a little boring. Sometimes you really want a game to work and I definitely did hope that this would be a great game as it had potential, but I must conclude that it misses the mark. Others will have different experiences but I’ve played some great games that I’ve played for years but this unfortunately will be deleted.

I really don’t get the 5 starers. This game is in the end rather simple and boring. The story is quite decent, so if you’re after a 2D text based story set in space, with small text even on an Xs Max screen, then sure, consider this. After the story, the rest of the “gameplay” is very, very light; Ship combat is just rounds of select your weapons and select one skill to use and press end turn and watch it play out. Crew combat is kind of similar. Just super basic. Nothing at all is very specific or thought provoking in the combat. The story just has you go about from check point to check point with some story filler in between for reason. These checkpoints are “planets” which might sound interesting but it’s just the same menu screen at each with the same options at every one, sometimes full options available, some times less options due to your reputation with that factions planet.......... How interesting. Jump to a planet, press the buttons to fill up your: Fuel, hull health, crew health, moral, recruit some new crew, and maybe upgrade your ship if you’ve gathered the $. For an idea. Halcyon 6 I find is a kind of ok space sim/combat game. Well Halcyon 6 has way more fleshed out combat, and essentially has a similar fetch quest mission system without the faffle of a “story” in tiny small text. And I’m bored thinking about this so I’ll end here. But honestly I don’t know who 5 stars this. I mean lol at the dead that said “probably the best 4K game on mobile right now”. (Which I think that reviewer means to say 4X, not 4K). I mean, no, just no. Like, what about Civ VI!? Or even just Civ Rev 2! Heck, Halcyon 6 is much better like I already outlined. 2 stars from me because I see these guys update the game. Though that update really I think is just expansion of end game story stuff. Nothing to actually increase the (lack of) gameplay depth here.

Great great game for 4K lovers! I actually back the game in Kickstarter few years back but didn’t have time to play until recently as I got more time due to lockdown. I can’t believe what I have been missing all these years! Everyone would love different aspects of the game, it’s such a solid game with depth, probably the best 4K game on mobile devices now. Only thing I would love to point out though is the saved games and achievement not being shared across iOS devices. I have unlocked about half of the achievements in game, but after reinstalling the app, aside from losing all my saved games, I will also need to unlock everything again, even though Game Center showing that I’ve already unlock those achievements. It can be a little frustrating.

Fantastic game

Very nice game I enjoy the star traders series

An extremely addictive game with so much to do! Love it love it! Well done Trese Brothers on bringing back RPG space style!

If you played the first Star Traders game, this is as comprehensive an upgrade as is nearly possible. Characters went from one-note officer entries and a crew counter for a full-fledged party management system with complex stats and traits. Ship combat was heavily overhauled for vastly more weapons and effects, including a JRPG-style combat system for boarding and other crew combat, with complex skills management. Ships are more sophisticated, with radically more upgrades and a system offering genuine trade-offs and balances between ship classes and upgrades. Trading has been revised with new legality, permits, rarity and supply systems. The graphics have gone from something out of a DOS game to pretty respectable. But most significantly, a new system of contacts, missions, and story missions adds vastly more to actually do in the sandbox. It is significantly better in every single way. If you never played the original, none of that is important. What matters is that this is currently the stand-out best space captain game on phone systems currently available.
