Beautiful storyline and gameplay, would heavily recommend for anyone interested in sci-fi and/or real time strategy. There many twists and turns throughout the entire storyline and many difficult choices you have to make, particularly at the end. By far one of the best games I will have the pleasure of playing. Would love to see a online multiplayer for this game.

I just played for a few hours, so far I like the gameplay. It's like FTL, and the story is amazing, even still in act 1. This game demands you to make decisions wisely, Because the resources you have are quite limited and rare. The graphics are so good even it's 8-bit style, but the animation makes you feel in front of space ship screen

If you've ever played FTL: Faster Than Light, and enjoyed it... You'll enjoy this. Beautifully crafted story so far, and I'm always seeking out the combats where possible. There's not many strategy games that work on a mobile, but they've found an awesome balance of RTS and functionality. My only criticism is: the controls for reapplying ships to the docks SUCKS. Click, hold, click, hold, click, hold, destroyed 3 second later. Repeat. RSI enducing.

This is a terrible game.... If you plan on being productive or if you hate watching hours of the day "magically" disappear. Starts a little slow but stick with it, this is truly a gem of a game. There is a constant sense of tension that feeds that one-more-turn itch. No microtransactions, no ads, just an amazing game. If I had one nitpick, it's that sometimes the battles run a bit long. Crying Suns get the highest possible recommendation I can give for this type of game.

Not my cup of tea, but well-made. Only thing that can be said to be wrong is that it is not for a small screen. It is playable, but the small texts get very annoying after a while. Even more so for me, because I am not interested in this genre of gameplay and was just enduring my lack of interest throughout those battles to see what story this game has to tell. Anyway, had two runs of fun. As a newcomer of this genre, expected normal mode to be harder but it felt surprisingly newcomer friendly.

One of the most engaging mobile games I've played in a while. Story, the choice system, etc. are all fantastic. However, some battles can be tedious and a bit frustrating at times. Certain enemy ships can be OP even when you have proper counters, such as longbows. It feels silly to get merc'd by one class of ship when you have a literal hanger full of counter class ships, and it's not an "elite" enemy. Sometimes, it can be easy to mix your units up with the enemies during a battle as well.

At last a truly good game that is not a cash farm. If you are looking for a bit of quick strategy without endless ads and cash grabbing "booster packs" (yes let's pay 99 bucks for imaginary boosters) then this is the game for you. Quite a sharp learning curve but worth it. Great work to the developers. Just one thing to add, please add a save after the boss fight at elysium. I didn't have time to read all the dialogue and now have to fight a difficult Boss again

Great Hexagon Strategy Game. There is a small learning curve, especiallyou when switching ship classes. The game can definitely be difficult but it is highly enjoyable. A great mix of story and strategy in a well crafted universe. On phones the interface is very small and can be difficult to use, but it is not game breaking.

The gameplay itself is fine, as ever Humble put good effort into their games and it shows. However this is one of the least accessible games I've played on mobile. The controls are minute and touchy and the font is SO SMALL and unfriendly that it genuinely pains me to play it. I can only manage 10 minutes before I get a headache. If they could improve this, it could easily be a 5-star game.

Takes some of the best mechanics from games like FTL, and builds a new game on top with different core gameplay mechanics, shorter individual runs but a long story arc that follows multiple runs. Lore is deep enough to be interesting, but not overwhelm gameplay. Different builds and strategies are possible. Shorter gameplay loop allows for more experimentation with builds. Borrows familiar lore from Dune and mechanics from FTL but builds on them with new core gameplay and story.
Tim Palmer
Well worth the price. Feels like a proper game and not mobile trash. But at the same time is easy to put down and pick up. Update: There was a bug that made the game frustrating to play, but I managed to finish the game anyway. 6 months later the devs replied to my review they they had fixed the bug. I'm now sucked back into playing this masterpiece.
