I love this game! The gameplay, story, humor, & adventure is all amazing! I've had a lot of fun playing this game & I'm not even that far. I'm a little worried about the time gap since the last update though. It's great now but I can see room for improvement. I really hope that more updates come! I give this game a strong

The game basics are good. However, you have seen everything after 2 or 3 hours. It is the same, always: Meet a ship, kill the invaders, destroy the ship. It feels like a missed opportunity as a lot things are missing/seemed to have been kicked out to publish it earlier.

1/3 of what the game was supposed to be.. Now you guys are making a new version that we will have to buy that is going to be everything that this game is supposed to be.. Could we at the very least get the full game for free or discount? I mean we all did buy this expecting it to be finished and all.. Hopefully the next won't end up like this one.. But sadly I have my doubts.

Second game I bought on play store, was stoked on it and then the game slowed way way down before I was out of the tutorial. Russian zombies and fires on ship seem to be too much? Running a 2 week old Samsung tab a 8". Please offer solution. So far a waste of time and effort. Disappointed.

Every time I play this it gets very slow after only a few minutes, freezing for a half send or so every other second during battles. Brand new phone which is incredibly fast with any other game.

U70%
by U####:

I really want to like this game but it's not even playable on my Verizon Galaxy Note 4. After the tutorial during the first battle the game slows down to a few frames/second. It's so slow it's just not even playable. I'd really prefer to get a refund for this but I assume it's too late since I didn't get around to playing it until 3 days after buying it.

I love this game, it's amazing. But I feel like it needs more discovery and science. Especially for nerds like me who loves space biology and archaeology ect. Normally it's done wrong but I believe these guys would do it right. Also AI needs improving. If they worked on this and added more content this would be perfect. Then Steam release? It would do well there I think.

V70%
by V####:

But I think you should be able to literaly build the ship to make your ship have a custom feel and you can make STARWARS SHIPS WHICH WOULD BE SO COOL BECAUSE THIS GAME IS SO FUN AND THAT WOULD MAKE IT SOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!! Also is this game related to I think its starbound or somthing if I'm wrong watch paul soars jr he plays it.

The story is great and witty and general gameplay is fun. But there needs to be attention paid to in ship combat, your people die far too quickly and don't attack often enough. Also, how are they meant to fight on the larger ships where they will be far away. All ship crew need to be able to fight, and maybe the red guys have automatic weapons?

Q70%
by Q####:

Is this game dead? I hope not! Really enjoyed playing, but it's too short. The storyline seems predetermined (but I'm gonna try different things in my second playthrough) and too many cliffhanger substories to not continue the game... But after the short main story, you keep your crew (mostly) and restart. All ships are "medium", so where is the gratification of playing the game and improving your ship?

Q70%
by Q####:

This was exactly what I was looking for. RTS, RPG, building sim, space adventure sim with a star trek feel. It doesn't get much better on the phone for any price. I'm totally satisfied with the purchase and would have still been satisfied if I had paid more. Good work warbaloon, I look forward to future installments and quietly hope for multiplayer, the addition of some kind of random mission generation, the ability to teleport crewmen onto enemy ships or down to explore planets and more ships.

So I play a game called Faster than Light on PC. If you enjoy the style of Star Command but want a better experience with higher customization of your ship, randomness of levels and stories, play FTL on PC. So I'm afraid I walked into this game with expectations of a similar quality game. This game is fun, corky, and light. It tries to sell you on choices, but you have few choices and the ones you have have little affect on the game itself. It's a very linear game but has charm enough for the price.

Tbh, it seems like development of the mobile version has been pretty much abandoned. I think the game's fun but could use some tweaking. Moving crew around is pretty awkward, which would have been amended if the mobile version ever got that update we were promised, two years ago. Nonetheless, it's still enjoyable.

Q70%
by Q####:

I want to like it, I really do, but - The dialog choices do almost nothing (there are a few choices that change which bonus character you get) - The game is way too short! Like seriously, I did all the side quests and everything. - The game is so incredibly linear, it hurts. And I'm not going to new game+ it.

As a fan of sci-fi, especially Trek, this game really hits warp speed. Who wouldn't want to walk onto the bridge of their very own starship, take command, explore and fire weapons once in a while? Great story. Super attention to detail. Thank you!

Q70%

The game showed promise. The art direction was aesthetically pleasing, and the mechanics were fun to tinker with, but the game is, essentially, unfinished. Two Kickstarter campaigns later, and the game hasn't been updated in nearly two years. Large portions of game content merely deliver a 'Coming soon!' message that has displayed since the game's release, and what gameplay there is boasts nothing but linearity and repetition. A great shame for what could have been a worthwhile experience.

I spent $3 for a incomplete game.... well...Its a great game. Very addicting and fun to play. A perfect game for a strategy game player on the go. Could use more friendly aliens to hire, larger ships, a form of better guns for your crew. And the long wait for more updates for more to do is killing me. But its still a fantastic game.

Q70%
by Q####:

A really fun game which is well worth the money. Charming, amusing, atmospheric. However, it does feel as though the devs had plans for it that they just never got round to finishing off. It's a very short story and you'll find your ship upgrades maxed out well before the finale. I kept expecting that one of the alien races I met might give me some new upgrades and take the game to that next level but it never quite did. With some meat on the bones this could really be one of tbe very best in it's genre.

Couple hours in and the same is still fun and a little on the tough side, which is nice. Even now it's starting to feel a little bland as far as the interactions go from planet to planet. Semi-rhetoric. That hanging been said all in all with the asking price and can't wait for an update with more content!

Q70%
by Q####:

I love the game, but you should be able to board other ships. That would be cool. Maybe even a multiplayer! That would be awesome! Anyway, I hope you take my request to consideration! And one more thing I noticed: if you target the bad guy when the bad guy is on the ship and in a room, the red guy stands in the doorway and when he shoots, the bullet never comes out! Plz fix that's the only bug I've noticed.

Love the game, great concept, execution and simple effective graphics. Played great until my phone updated to android 5.0.1. Since this update it judders and freezes now and again. Still playable, but takes some of the polish and edge from the game. Please could you have a look at these issues?

by Q####:

Update this game soon please. This game is great I like the crew management side of it as well as the battles, it plays well on my HTC1 after some initial teething. Wasn't sure what to expect from the reviews but was very pleased with the purchase. Would really like to see landing parties, bigger ships and maybe fighter bays incorporated an actual transporter room might be good too. Keep up the good work guys.

This isn't nearly what they said it would be, and I'm a little bothered that I might need to buy the pc version to get the better game, but they ARE adding and fixing things, so that's a plus. The game is fun and has a lot of potential, but so far it's just some dialog, a fight, then more dialog.... not very fun after the first play through.

One of the few games I still enjoy playing on mobile. No micro transactions, no stamina to wait and play... Just a fun game. You've had contraband and pets in the -"coming soon" for years... Is it ever going to happen?

Q70%
by Q####:

On my LG G3 once I progress further than a single mission the jumpiness is so bad that the game becomes unplayable. The shooting minigames aren't even worth attempting once that begins. It's not conflicting apps as I have formatted my phone and installed only this game. Such potential, I am very disappointed. I would like a refund. I emailed the support box weeks ago and have had no reply. Terrible service.

Q70%
by Q####:

But it needs more to it. just an idea but what about skills you can choose from. The skills are cool but you should let there be a little bit more diversity maybe like let's say the captain get to choose a "hero trait" and/or the crew can choose racial and job abilities or traits. maybe off ship exploring or missions with a landing team, like hold an area with a few select crew members for extraction. mini games like piloting through debris... there's so many possibilities. :)

Great game to start out but its buggy and lacks depth. This is definitely not a completed product. A good 4 hours with this game and its over. No replay value after you complete the game. Need much larger ships with more tech and weaponry. And most of all a more complete story the side missions are a waste.

Lack of updates is frustrating considering that additional content is being teased. Last update April of 2014? That's over a year ago. E months from now will officially make it no updates in two years. Devs need to be honest and say there will be no more updates. Don't lie to customers. Wish I could get a refund as I bought under a false pretense.

Where are these big updates you promised? I have had this game on my phone for a very long time and still nothing, you release half a game with promises we buy it up you make your money and then abandon it leaving us feeling robbed disgusting.

Love this game, however.... It gets extremely laggy after about 5 minutes of play time. Bad enough that i cant fire a single torpedo because the aiming reticle jumps across the screen. Would gladly rate this 5 stars if i was able to play with no issues. Never had an issue before. Using the lg g3 on lollipop.

Q70%
by Q####:

This game is pretty alright! Getting boarded is probably the best part of the game! I just wish combat could be taken into the enemy's/your own ship. Like being able to take their ship over from the inside for greater rewards.

C70%
by C####:

Never played a space/ship Sim until now, and boy, is this game a great introduction to it. Simple, clean, and the injected humor REALLY makes it fun and easy to get in to. Even so, you can't help but shake the feeling there was more they wanted to do with this game, but at the price point it is, I really can't complain. Worth a buy, for sure.

Q70%
by Q####:

After a few battles the game slows to a crawl and the mini-games are impossible to play from the lag. When it's not lagging, the game is great. It lags worst when the enemy ship fires upon you.

N70%
by N####:

Constantly starts to lag unbearably after the second mission and does not get better. The first mission was fun though so 1.5 stars I guess. But please fix the lag for my device

what is going to be added, on the menu screen it says coming soon, and its been that way for a long time now and I was wondering what was going to be added, otherwise great game, and new quests need to be added because the game seems to short.

C70%
by C####:

It's a good game but it's recently gotten very laggy even after I clear my RAM etc. Also the next update had taken 1 and a half years now so I think the developer has just dropped it and left it alone.

Haven't heard any update for over a year, too bad, it really showed promise. Really looking forward to the update, but still enjoyable.

This iscthe best paid game ive bought. But, every single encounter ends in combat! I spent like 15 minutes in a fight, then, ran into a conversation where there was no threats by the ai and my conversation options ALL ENDED IN A FIGHT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO RREASON TO!!! Please make encounters diplomatic instead of war all the time
