Its completely unclear what you can or need to do and how to do it. even the esc button has no function. How to get out of the game alt+F4 rediculous!! There is nothing in this game that makes it fun. It's boring as hell.
A quick space explore RPG game. Cheap. Worth the price. Not much but I guess it passes muster.
I've come back to this expecting improvements since last time. All I got was stress, stress, stress and more stress. The initial grind trading the same cargo from Station A to Station B was just....... A,B,A,B,A,B,A,B, Z,zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz It took about 50 such runs before you could even get a better ship with better equipment and begin the "story mode missions". Those were further aggravated by the pirates occasionally popping up even in these so called "safe, but deathly boring" systems. Meet even one small pirate and it's DERP! OIK! WHAAAAA? DED! OH NO START AGAIN! That brings me to another AWFUL developer decision. Forced "Iron Man" mode. By that I mean you cannot save and go back to an old save if the worst happens. It "saves" constantly. So when the inevitable ♥♥♥♥ up comes along losing you the lot....... you're stuck with it. This was NOT needed, or wanted, in a game such as this. The tedium is beyond belief. It's not worth it. Honestly look elsewhere. There are dozens of game similar to this and 100x better. Hello..... https://steamcommunity.com/app/338830/discussions/0/535152276584432817/ Seems like the dev has already noted how diksuk it's hardcore mode is, way back in 2015, but only implemented changes in Star Nomad 2. Ah well, at least he listens more than most devs do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know this was only a cheap game made by a single person developer..... But so is "Endless Sky"...... technically simplistic but works well, bug free, and is also TOTALLY FREE. So is "Vega Strike"...... rough around the edges, but tons of mods, great community, loads of ships/weapons/upgrades, a realistic game universe that DOES feel like real space (unlike Star Nomad's tiny sectors)..... oh and it's TOTALLY FREE. So is "Transcendence"..... TONS of ships/weapons/mods, almost infinite variety to be had, great gameplay, and is also TOTALLY FREE (though there is a purely optional pay-for premium version) And all of the above, despite being free, offer a lot more content than Star Nomad! Still, it manages to be more promising than the Jesus awful "Drifter" - at just one fifth of it's £10 price. And I do still recommend it (now that my problem with not being able to buy a new ship has been sorted :D), don't get me wrong I don't hate the game. Just that the gameplay feels a little simplistic (with can be a + or a - depending on your view), mind you a lot of other games of this genre also feel simplistic. The game galaxy is small, the systems themselves are tiny, tiny, tiny little "sectors" like in the original "X-Tension". There's not that many ships, weapons, upgrades etc..... but the artwork is very well drawn, the developer is very talented at drawing - especially drawing cute girls!!!!! :D <--------- That's sold the game to you hasn't it?

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.

Tags: Tactical - Sci Fi Sandbox Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Grindy. Poor UI. Dodgy controls. Lack of options. Amateur freelancer trading and quests. Review: Very tablety feeling. Not a lot of depth in the mechanics. You have your trade hubs and quest hubs floating in empty space with simulated space traffic going on automated scripts. You are more or less free to go from hotspot to hotspot taking on elimination quests and escort mission quests to grind rewards to upgrade and do it all over again. Setting seems to be some kind of corporatist sci fi future where people freelance for the man. Not terribly gripping. The little portraits talking to you in the corner were a nice touch but they bothered you a lot for no reason and all these people act like you know them but, you dont, and I am not sure why I should care. Control is mostly just left clicking on stuff and pausing with spacebar. I tried shooting at stuff but no button was responding. Maybe I had to buy a gun first but I was pretty underwhelmed by what i was experiencing and could not find the strenght of will to fight with this game to figure out how to reach any somewhat pleasant gameplay. Needless to say dodging fire by clicking on space is strange and clumsy. The game has a pretty extensive star map connecting sectors together through worhomles. The sectors often dont contain solar systems in them. The game could had been salvagable by being very atmostpheric or having someting hooking you plot wise right away but this game is not that either. Anyways all in all if you are out of options I guess this might be servicable, perhaps, if you can deal with the controls and have a lot of patience and time on your hands. But for anyone who has a fleshed out Steam Library the time investment is probably not going to reward you with a valuable enough experience to justify going through the hassle.
Sympa, pas énormement plus, ni moins. ;) Le jeu a les défaut classique d'un petit jeu indépendant fait par une seul personne, il n'approfondit pas assez les choses dans son gameplay. En clair et bref : simple mais efficace. Mais on ne peut pas du tout dire qu'il y a vraiment des choses de mal faite. Ce qui n'est pas une mauvaise chose en soit, loin de là. Il a une très bonne finition pour un petit jeu, pas de bug à signaler. Bref, au prorata heure/fun - argent. Faut vraiment être de mauvaise foi pour ne pas reconnaitre que cela vaut le coup au vue de son petit prix et encore plus petit avec des soldes steam. ;)
