Spectacular game, as with all These Brothers games. No IAPs, no micro transactions, just hours, days and weeks of gameplay. Well worth buying the full version of all of their games if only to support game developers that are about gaming not about how much they can extort from the community. In fact the opposite is true, Cory and his brother give so much to their communities, they're almost always around on their discord servers, bugs are splatted hours after reporting and answers to questions are quickly forthcoming. Best devs and best games no matter the platform. As for the game itself it's a proper old school space version of Sid Meier's Pirates, easy to pick up, difficult to master at higher difficulty levels. As good as it gets for free, but the couple of quid to upgrade to elite is money well spent.

I remember playing this game several years ago and loving it then. I'm excited to come back to it, and see how it has progressed.

It ok I'm a little confused about the Movement page and also the ships don't make to much sense but good game in all

U70%

The game itself is good, but the free version limits a lot of what we can actually do. For the free version i give it 3 stars because when you start to be successful in the map, you set higher goals but then you find you can't do it for free. As the free version i feel it's an average game, however the full paid version may reach 4 or 5 stars, depending on your personal opinion. If you're a free player, check Pirates and Traders instead. If you don't mind spending a bit on this game, go for it. It's worth it.

* Love it! Fantastic fun space RPG for long play session gamers. Hope to see the player's crew & ships grow with time. Any plot twists like KOTOR & Mass Effect storyline? Looking forward to Star Traders 2. Thanks for a wicked game! ;)

Looks ok at first glance, rather complex though, and no tutorial. Hmm. I will give it some time, looks like this game demands a bit of an investment, time-wise. Any online manuals/strategy guides?

Should've changed it to This War Of Mine in Space. When every faction declare war on each other, you can't even buy gas. Shortage? Bam! Immediate wanted criminal.

I love this game, but it seriously needs balancing. I'm playing on Hard. Blockading and Surveillance appear to be pointless. They needlessly antagonise some factions and don't yield enough money. As well as, Patrolling for ships, all three use up too much Water-Fuel. Also, combat needs too much money to fix the ship after you win. This makes all of the above even more worthless on Hard. Contracts give decent money, but shortages blow this out of the water. I can make more money in one shortage than in 10 contracts and that is quite frustrating. Assassination and Capture contracts are possible, but not worth it. It is too difficult since the mark can evade in even the first turn, and again, it is expensive. There is no advantage to promotions? I have reached Rank 10 with Cadar when playing on Easy and there appear to be no benefits. The amount of conflicts with each faction can make trading very, very difficult, especially the Trade Embargos. I think that losing 10 reputation simply for buying some Water-Fuel is way too much. Exploration is decent as far as I have seen, but I don't use it too much. Essentially, what I am saying is that on Hard and higher difficulties, it seems to me that the only way to survive and make money is to do contracts and trade during shortages. You can't be a pirate or a brigand because it just costs too much. It would be nice if the game could be tweaked a little to balance these aspects a bit more. This is still a great game and I love it. I'm considering buying Elite, but I think that the game isn't quite perfect yet. Thank you.

A very complex game with a lot of depth. A great deal of thought has gone into the machinations of each faction and their influence on the gameplay and this adds to the authenticity of the experience. There are many ways to play this game which means you'll be coming back for more. I'm honestly hooked! By the way, ignore the review saying there are no instructions on how to play. There are loads under the help menu.

I missed this game! I played it about 5 or 6 years ago and was sad to see it disappear. There for a while they wanted $0.99 to download. I'd recommend this game to anyone who loves monopolizing with big figures.

I have played this for only a week and I can already tell I will be playing for a long time. There are so many small intricacies that I've only skimmed the surface of what this game has to offer.

The mechanics, design, locations, gameplay, etc. have all been well thought out and integrate to give a grand experience. On the appropriate difficulty level, the game can definitely be a challenge without being unfair. Great game!

The Trese brothers produce some of the best games I've played. Aside from the games universes (Do this game and star traders inhabit the dame continuem?), there's not much wrong. Although I feel some features should be explained, such as the wanted system.

Lovely game with outdated graphics. It has many hidden complexities. Its also a survival game. How long can your captain survive until it dies?

The graphics seem to be a little repetitive also once i had a good ship i have yet to find a better one but im on a low difficulty so it may change otherwise it is a wonderful game.

Great game however I bought this game when it first came out, had a problem with Google play a few months ago where some of my purchases were reset and this app does not have an option to restore purchases like other apps and I refuse to pay for it again :/
