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?

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.
A quick space explore RPG game. Cheap. Worth the price. Not much but I guess it passes muster.
asd
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.
4 euros, ça les vaut, mais pas plus je pense. un petit jeu qui peux vous occuper quelque heures en détente
nice game
cool game
Very simple 2D trade space sim. This is not Escape Velocity but then, what is?
