Stellar Reach

This game is definitely a passion project by the dev, and it shows. There need to be some more quality of life improvements in fleet and colony management, but the dev is actively updating the game. I reported a bug last night and it's already patched out. Impressive.

Not gonna lie, it took several starts to get a grip on how to play, get the info I was looking for and understand the UI, but once I did this turned out to be quite a clever and interesting game. Sure it is not a AAA or even AA game, but there is a lot of love and thought gone into it. Anybody into space games like Distant Worlds will find a light version with its own spin and ideas.

Great 4x set in a small 3d star cluster. I especially like the music that plays during the game.

I like the game so far, but I'd like to see it improve in a few ways. More time options. 3x weeks, 3x years could be cool options. I do like 3x months but I yearn for a bit more or less at times. The fleet combat is in a good place, but why make carriers manual when everything else is auto? It doesn't really make sense and bogs down the game with micromanagement when carriers are in play. Needs another look. UI could use a bit of a spruce up in some areas. The small text size increase is too much in some places, but not enough in others. Toggleable Settings for when notifications slow the time. I had the AI spamming 1 ship fleets at me and slowing the time every few seconds for almost an hour. Very annoying. I'd like to be able to control when the game slows automatically. I enjoy the music and the minimalistic feel of just watching my Planets spin around. It's relaxing. I also enjoy stomping AI fleets with overwhelming numbers, and watching my other numbers go up. Great game!

The game is a buggy mess that seems to be built for mobile platforms. The amount of memory allocated to it is wild for not a lot going on graphically, so there must be something more. Dont know if its commie space slop because the economy doesnt economy. Resources dont seem to be implemented they dont seem to effect the economy much everything is cost so not much benifit to building the. Its a fun concept and a little work it could be great.

This is a great space 4x game that packs a lot in and is very well presented for something created by a solo developer. There are certainly QoL improvements needed (its not always very clear what you can click on and move around, and while the tutorial does explain it, I can imagine I would forget half of it quickly). However, it has a fantastic balance of depth and micromanagement with breadth and strategy.

Tentative thumbs up. If the game had better UI around fleet management and economy management, it would be so much better. As is, these two share the common weaknesses of most space 4X games, becoming more and more cumbersome as the game goes on. For fleets, it really needs a fleet manager like Stellaris or Distant Worlds 2 (or better). Building and adding ships manually is a drag - I just want to top up based on a template I define. For the economy, it feels like there is a lot of interesting developments going on under the hood, but are not well communicated in the UI nor easy to understand how to manage. This feels like a really great economy mechanic, just lacking the UI to make it interest for the player to either track (which is fine) or tinker with ocassionally. I personally do NOT want a system like the Endless Space games (and most 4X) where I build the same series of buildings on all planets, over and over. Great the planets have unique features that (maybe) shakes that up.

这游戏感觉是极简版的群星，优点是有简体中文，还有中文配音，翻译也比较到位。缺点就是现在只能全屏，不能窗口模式，没有分辨率调整，画面很扎眼睛，飞船这些就一个图标表示，跟着教程走找飞船那个小图标都懵逼了半天，背景图的漫天繁星和那很小的框框让我Orz了，各种建设点击很费眼睛。如果价格在40左右，我推荐。但是这都快70了，你要画面没画面，就一堆数据和贴图都不算的建筑物和飞船的图标，我还是建议现在不便购买，等完善了再说。其他还没玩到。

As a new game in an old and beloved genre with a great many good games like the space based 4x genre it is hard to stand out, especially as a solo developer, yet Stellar Reach has grabbed my attention. New and reimagined ideas that provide a fresh breeze while simplifying or cutting other staple systems of the genre while still being a 4x game to the core. That being said the game needs a lot more polishing to been done with quite a bit of bugfixing, balancing and QoL improvement necessary. Those fans of the genre, who like to experience different games and different ideas, I would recommend the game even now, more so after a few patches.
