The shoehorned card game mechanic ruins an otherwise very interesting game. A test out of ~50 attmpts: - approx 20-25% of the time, when no talent-based card overrides are used, the outcome favors positive outcomes; 50% for minor negative, remainder very negative - approx. 45% of the time - nearly half - when selecting a talent-based card override (e.g. swap card, remove card, etc.), the outcome more frequently gravitates toward a negative -> very negative outcomes Summary: it appears best to not use replacement cards at all, even to remove the more difficult encounters (xeno combat)
Great game, if complex. Recommend watch a beginners guide before playing much as so easy to die on Normal difficultly or above. 33 classes! Lots of different mission types and some pretty good story missions. Trading is only a small part of what you'll be doing. Ship combat and ground combat both engaging and fun.
Deep, expansive, and genuinely engaging. Star Traders: Frontiers makes a great first impression – and that impression only grows over time. After a few hours of play, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of 1% of what this game has to offer. That's both fascinating and a little overwhelming – in the best possible way. The biggest highlight is the thoughtfully designed character training and progression system, woven together with story-driven adventures. The RPG layer here is genuinely solid – the variety of professions and career paths is impressive, and every decision regarding your crew and captain carries real consequences. A pleasant surprise is also the learning curve – the game doesn't throw a tutorial manual in your face, but you can comfortably learn on the fly, make mistakes, and rely on save states. It's an approach I really appreciate. If I had one criticism, it would be the occasionally lengthy dialogues and demanding English – for players without fluent language skills, it can be a slight barrier. But that's more of a side effect of a richly built world than an actual flaw. Recommended for anyone looking for a game with real depth, who isn't afraid to invest time in learning its mechanics.
Best game I've played in a hot minute. If you would've asked me would I ever play a point-and-click or game with graphics as simple as this I'd have bet against you - but this game has won me over... no effort needed. The game is phenomenal, the one game in my life that is simple enough to keep me coming back but in-depth enough to keep it fun and entertaining for multiple playthroughs. The game is very in-depth, very casual, and very fun all at the same time. idk what more I can say - I've gotten over 15hr of gameplay out of it at $15 so that's a win, but I'm not near finished yet - I love this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game
Its ok, I can see the draw but there are plenty of other games like starsector that do this game better. The fact that the turtorial missions take so long and rather hard punish you quite a bit on perma death. And if you don't have perma death on it just laughs at you for dying but then gives you back your ship.
This is a really deep game, in spite of my initial impressions. I've had it on my iPad for a year or so, but finally invested some time in it, and really enjoying it. I still don't have a handle on all the factors and large-scale dice rolls, but can see my knowledge will grow. So now I've bought it on Steam and play on both platforms - iPad when I want something to play anywhere, Steam/Windows when I want to work with some of the mods like Fly Casual (sort of a Firefly experience). I can't see me growing tired of this game for a long time, if ever.
If you love pain and suffering, this game is for you! And if you love games made with love, this one is also for you <3
Wanted to play this game watched videos to get to know it because there is no Tutorial. spent a couple hours get my first quest to get the arbiter. went to every planet talked to Every person could never figure out how to get Estella on my ship. what a waste of my life avoid this game its a waste of your time. Id return it but spent to long trying to figure it out
Game is a lot more fun than it might look. It has a lot of depth and I have more hours on mobile. Just wish there was cross progression. Definitely one of those games I will always have on my mobile devices. Quite addicting gameplay loop.
Уж лучше поиграть в Starsector.
