Game keeps locking up Very frustrating     Locking up Woody 2069a
Please support for iphone use                 Please support for iphone use Leechhuyyy
This is perhaps the worst tactical game I have ever played Movement and firing are just terrible In a game about spaceship combat you d think the spaceship combat would be enjoyable However the awful UI and controls makes the combat impossible to enjoy due to mistakenly shooting asteroids instead of your enemy This game wouldn t be worth it if it were free Spend your valuable time on something comparatively rewarding like Farmville At least Farmville doesn t make me want to gauge my eyes out     Insanely Frustrating nathanielwheeler
Fun but the second or third game failed to reach a victory condition Play for hours and then no missions to join building everything and reaching 80 population and nothing to do but shore leave Save exit reload does not fix problem                     Fun but bugs netskink
Straightforward hex game with a decent AI Great having a game without IA purchases required Limits on number of units keep it simple UI can be unfriendly if you are colorblind 3 different shades of red lines on a black star map leave you guessing sometimes about your enemy This is not a come back in 10 minutes for more gems kind of game Plenty of save points so you can die but there is always a load game                 Recalls fun Avalon Hills board games BearWisdom
Why buy from 2k when they don t fix or refund for iPad Bioshock Never again It is a fraud     Bioshock Danbo1732
The only reason this game gets more than 1 star is that it could have potential if it were polished up As it is the gameplay is broken From blatent AI cheating to most of the depth of the game being ignorable But the biggest kicker you can win on the highest diffuculty during the first turn of the game before the AI has a chance to even act This game was terribly rushed and it shows It s good for 2 play throughs one to learn how to play and a second to realize it s not worth playing         Terrible TychoMaudd
And the game isn t that great either     Crash galore Happygranite
Space torpedoes don t need to look like atmosphere use                 I guess it s a step away from the norm with this that part shows Stratified suffice
I played some of Sid s earliest games and enjoyed them When was that 1991 This game hasn t evolved much beyond those early games in terms of game play design or complexity OK value at 2 00 but a rip off at 9 99     Welcome to the past bamorgan
I love this game soooo much because it was never made for the computer but rocks on the touch platform It is incredibly fun for strategy and taking over galaxies or just sitting there like a peaceful superpowered Soviet Union Fun tip It became soooo fun that when I fully upgraded everything building wise not tech I was buying stuff to get the tech done then the UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED I crashed the game because I became sooooo powerful and sooo OP as hell that I crashed it because I was near 100 done Thankfully it was saved but still super fun Tip The crash was caused by me on purpose and not the game LOL ROFL                     EPICLY FUN Comer blade
I ve played civilization since before the time computers were involved Huge fan of most of them Deep interesting and fun Loved Pirates As well This game is not replay able I played 4 times all the way through Now I get it and it doesn t need to be played again There are few choices in customizing your ships and most of them just don t make tactical sense Maybe the designers had a plan for real depth and it will come out in some big future update I doubt it Take off Sid s name and this is a 2 app like the hundreds released each year forgettable I paid 10 I genuinely hope the extra 8 went to Sid he is a brilliant game designer but this game is not     Why Sid why IronGiant
Don t even bother to trying to save a game When you return to load it the game will sent you back earlier in time         Game saving is broken GreenChickenLabs
Looking at the version history it appears thus game is stuck where it s at Focus bugs require you to alt tab out of the game and back in to respond to input The game itself is very easy to win lacks any strategy and has no variety     Buggy no challenge no variety CardinalZealot
This is perhaps the best space strategy game for the iPad 2 but 2K should continue their support and fix these bugs The game seems to crash every so often actually a lot lately                 Good game Irgun48
Nobody should be able to be a Sid Meyers game on the impossible setting only their second time playing it Ridiculously simple gameplay even though the spaceopedia doesn t even work The game makers should be embarrassed that this is on the App Store     Weak easy game don t buy Erk34348379
The pitch was nice but the gameplay tries to hard to mix strategy and combat As a result the game fails to have a pace that makes sense and ends up being boring         Boring kinou99
Game freezes on my iPad air2 It gets stuck in a feedback loop no matter if I reset or force close the app Buyer beware     Buggy game nickharger
Fun game it just lacks difference in ships and content Over all it s a good game For iOS that is                 Pretty good dougieghdshnjnfnjsdnvsD
Why is this expensive game so low resolution and blurry Reminds me of the old pre Retina iPad games Hurts my eyes Also too buggy Can t even scroll the spaceopedia Not worth the money this was released too early Also very short finished on hardest setting quickly     Blurry pixels shallow game Artinobil
That about sums it up for me Too simplistic in terms of strategy Geographic location of systems has little to no effect on game outcome Customization of ships is bogus because they are all the same design and just increase in ratings as you upgrade You pay about 13 extra for the Sid Meier name I think     Boring weak strategy not worth price Tuned2Jazz
There s not enough content or replay ability to justify the price tag on this game It s a far cry from civilization or xcom         Too expensive Breach2000
Great game but needs a better tutorial too much detail but not straight forward                 Great game but needs better tutorial SnowTurbo2002
The game has potential but sometimes freezes half way and there is no way to finish the game other load an early game     Freeze Yang_Su
Es el juego mas malo que e jugado     Malo Rafae18
Fun but it freezes all the time     Freezes Bcellreceptor
This game would be 5 stars but it crashes all the time It is so frustrating I have and iPad Air with the latest os and it still crashes PLEASE FIX THIS GAME             Good game but crashes Tony_p49393
Expected better replayability from Sid s game Wears out quickly The idea is great but the game is disapointing         Fun for a bit Skopko
I jumped at the chance to play a Sid Meyers game and I paid the 10 It is not worth it If you want to play this wait until it goes on sale it s really not worth the money until then         Not worth 10 Criim
I m really disappointed with this game it s pretty basic and the dialogue gets very boring I find myself just flipping through the boring dialog just so I can get to the next boring battle It s like a bad version of Civilization Revolution in outer space After XCom I really expected more Really disappointing This should have been a 4 99 game     Disappointing and way overpriced RVR57
I feel so ripped off     Boring repetitive extremely overpriced DON T BUY SpookNasty
It s an ok game but nothing all that great I played it a few times and lost interest Definitely not worth the price tag         Meh Perignem
It can be improved but this is one of the iPad games as is A few improvements will make this a great game Clean up the combat interface and easier to find info on your planets An overview map showing your location in the universe would be nice                 Great game Whizzo555
UPDATE DO NOT BUY The latest version DID NOT fix victory parameters I like the game But I regret buying it before the bugs were worked out FIRST REVIEW I loved civilization I see where the game was going but failed Victory parameters are screwy Game LAGS I have an 2nd Gen iPad Air Repetition repetition repetition Did I mention it s the same thing over and over The price will buy you the exact same experience for every game Unless you hit a different bug each time Long story short buy this ONLY IF you don t mind wasting money         Not Nearly Worth the Cost The_duck_taper
Starships is an amazing game truly But the lag is unbearable there really needs to be more stress on the fact that it runs like crap on older iPads The jittering and freezing can really slow gameplay to a stopping point and down right disappoint me Do not buy unless you either want a slow lag filled experience or have one of the newer iPads     Love the game Hate the lag Dag✌
Great strategy game and is fun to play for maybe 15 min Then it gets old real fast and not worth the price tag Maybe 5             Great game but is missing a bit of polish Rambony702
I bought this 14 99 game because sid Meyer has a good reputation for making great games Unfortunately this is not one of them This is a 3 99 game selling for 14 99 While I like the game the graphics are poor A major upgrade or a refund is in order         Should have been better or cost less DigitalWizdom
Pricey apps and I aren t well acquainted But when Starships came up since it had Sid Meier s name on it I decided to give it a shot After all XCOM turned out good and 2K was behind Starships so that s a win Having played it to both victory and defeat I have to say I really expected more So what is it It s a lite version of Civilization set on multiple planets instead of cities Each planet has a benefit and you can set research priorities and other basic civilization guiding tools Overall the Civ aspect is painfully thin this is more of a strategy tactical game rather than a nationbuilder You get to assemble one fleet yep one of ships upgraded as you see fit to sling around the galaxy conquering and defending This part is a little tricky with only one fleet you can t station picket lines or do anything clever like leaving a rearguard It s all or nothing Once you ve moved a fleet into an engagement the game goes tactical and you maneuver and angle your ships fire weapons deploy fighters and in short command some pretty inventive and entertaining tactical turn based space battles The downsides though are threefold One the civ aspect of the game is barely there Diplomacy doesn t really do anything and there s little to excite an empire builder gamer Veteran civvers forget it all There s no customizing planets You can t even rename them Two the 3D graphics while impressive caused a fairly new iPad to start stuttering its animations And three there s no story Zilch Realistically this plays more like a popular fanbuilt scenario from Civ 4 rather than a new game on its own It s good don t get me wrong I just expected more A solid B A                 It s okay OxcartMC
Really doesn t pull you in Way over priced         Not up to sid Meier name Bartyfrde
I think this game is well conceived and implemented except for the few bugs others have mentioned and one I found by accident Hopefully they re just working out the kinks and will publish an update once they decide that the bug fixes don t make new bugs Would be well worth the money if the Victories settings feature worked as one would expect Also kinda weird that it doesn t track your scores locally but I would be happy if I could just play using the Domination setting                 Early Release Okay Still fun Brandon. A.
I liked the game before the last update Now all it does is crash when I need to fire a torpedo         Keeps crashing PerryPayne216
Even on my brand new iPad Air without much memory in use yet Barely playable Overall a fine game if it were 1 3 the price and didn t crash constantly Would not recommend I m not even picky Oh Sid what happened     Incredibly buggy FreddyLosingWeight
When I first looked at this game I thought of sword of the stars as far as ship customizing Sadly there is no variety to shipbuilding you just upgrade the same stuff over and over till you wind up with a fast battleship fun the first time around gets really dull every other time My other issue is that you can choose different types of victories in the settings but when I set domination the AI still ends up winning through the other victory conditions even though they weren t selected Lots of time wasted I m upset and full of regret if I can dissuade at least one person from buying this game that will be of some comfort     Wasted opportunity Dardanos78
The link to Civ Beyond Earth seems trudging on the surface but in reality is so frustrating it spoils the experience It took me a while to figure out how to even log in to click the 2K icon Numerous times now I have logged in and received the message You have successfully logged in After clicking OK that is followed immediately by the message my2K Connection Issue You are not logged in in the lower left corner I got it to work once the icon turns green and a new menu option is added but it has failed more than 30 times now Going to the my2K website doesn t help either there are no postings about this on the support page Neither does clicking the App Support button in the App Store nothing happens Very frustrating         Link to Beyond Earth Frustrating ChrisWA76
This game is simply the same battle repeated countless times You can t even beat the AI on the hardest difficulty You can t control what victory conditions they use so they just merge together to win wonder victories and there is literally no way to stop them This game isn t worth 5 certainly not 15 Massive changes need to be made     Boring repetative overpriced Ddfhtdsdgj
I really do like the game play of this but for 15 it is way to over priced This game is way to basic for that price maybe 5 max At least add a campaign for what we paid No one should have to spend 15 to play the same arcade over and over And you can play from easy through epic in like an hour Simply not enough game         To little a game to big a price tag Mindsynk
they could made this game better it gets boring quick i kinda regret buying this         its ok Gangsta_Titan
It s a straight forward easy to play starship strategy game Lots of potential If you like civ rev and spaceships you will like this game However my last 3 games of domination mode have resulted in AI wins for most wonders thanks to the new update I can no longer conquer the Galaxy             New update killed my domination mode AUTOBOT ORCA
I have played the games several time on customized victory criteria domination but it fails to work The game always ends on achieving any of the game criteria It was as if the victory criteria is always set to All regardless of what you choose         Cannot set victory criteria bright anvil
I bought this 1499 game because sid Meyer has a good reputation for making great games Unfortunately this is not one of them This is a 399 game selling for 1499 While I like the game the graphics are poor A major upgrade or a refund is in order        Should have been better or cost less

The player cannot choose the victory conditions for the AI opponents Even if the player chooses to win by certain conditions the AI can win any way it wants Whoever thought this was a good idea is an idiot and should not be a game developer I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING THIS GAME UNTIL THE DEVELOPERS MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO ALLOW THE PLAYER TO CHOOSE THE VICTORY CONDITIONS FOR BOTH PLAYER AND AI In the games current state there is no reason to play on any setting other than ALL Victory Conditions Case in point I played 5 games in a row on the Domination setting and lost each one because an AI opponent achieved the Wonders victory There is currently no way to win a game by total galactic domination Currently the only victory in Sid Meiers Starships is to win as fast as you can before the AI do so and this is most easily achieved by building Wonders There is currently no possible victory for those players who enjoy slow methodical total galactic domination Aside from the HUGE problem already stated the rest of the game is actually quite good The player can choose from 3 different factions and choice of faction determines the looks of the starships The player then chooses from 8 different commanders within the faction and each commander gives a particular bonus to gameplay My favorite commander is the one that gives an extra starship to the players fleet at the outset There are 5 different resources in the game Energy Metal Science Food and Credits Energy is used to upgrade individual starships or to purchase more ships When a module on a ship is purchased or upgraded the look of that module changes Depending on which upgrades are purchased the look of each ship can be different It is possible to have anything from small corvettes with giant lasers and huge engines to armored battleships with torpedoes and tiny engines One drawback is that the player can only have a maximum of 8 ships in their fleet Metal is used to purchase planetary upgrades Each planet can be equipped with a hyperspace gate allowing faster travel Players can purchase Robotic Defense ships at each planet to augment their fleet or to defend on their own if the fleet is not close enough to do so The other four upgrades on each planet increase the amount of resources of that type gained each turn Each planet also has the ability to construct a wonder Wonders are mega bonuses that change specific things for the controlling player from armor that nullifies torpedoes to fighter bays that allow fighters to move their full distance and attack the same turn they are launched Science is used to perform general upgrades to ship systems increasing their effectiveness Food is used to buy additional cities on planets increasing all the resources gained per turn by that planet Credits are used in the Market to buy additional amounts of the other four resources For example if a player has lots of food but is short on science they can sell food for credits and then use the credits to buy more science In summary DO NOT BUY THIS GAME UNTIL THE DEVELOPERS FIX THE AI PROBLEM Once they fix it I recommend this game to anyone who likes strategy The squeaky wheel gets the grease           DO NOT BUY this game until they fix this issue
Es el juego mas malo que e jugado     Malo
I have played the games several time on customized victory criteria domination but it fails to work The game always ends on achieving any of the game criteria It was as if the victory criteria is always set to All regardless of what you choose        Cannot set victory criteria
Really doesnt pull you in Way over priced        Not up to sid Meier name
Just plain dont buy if you dont have the newest iPad After three battles lag comes into play ant it takes 30s for animations to finish and for it to become responsive     Lag on Ipad2
I really do like the game play of this but for 15 it is way to over priced This game is way to basic for that price maybe 5 max At least add a campaign for what we paid No one should have to spend 15 to play the same arcade over and over And you can play from easy through epic in like an hour Simply not enough game        To little a game to big a price tag
Someone needs to explain this to me How in the heck can the enemy heal for 100 EVERY turn That IS cheating and is NOT stated in the rules Either make it so the player heals 100 too the enemy doesnt heal or give me my money back     Game Cheats
That about sums it up for me Too simplistic in terms of strategy Geographic location of systems has little to no effect on game outcome Customization of ships is bogus because they are all the same design and just increase in ratings as you upgrade You pay about 13 extra for the Sid Meier name I think     Boring weak strategy not worth price
Pricey apps and I arent wellacquainted But when Starships came up since it had Sid Meiers name on it I decided to give it a shot After all XCOM turned out good and 2K was behind Starships so thats a win Having played it to both victory and defeat I have to sayI really expected more So what is it Its a lite version of Civilization set on multiple planets instead of cities Each planet has a benefit and you can set research priorities and other basic civilizationguiding tools Overall the Civ aspect is painfully thin this is more of a strategytactical game rather than a nationbuilder You get to assemble one fleet yep one of ships upgraded as you see fit to sling around the galaxy conquering and defending This part is a little tricky with only one fleet you cant station picket lines or do anything clever like leaving a rearguard Its all or nothing Once youve moved a fleet into an engagement the game goes tactical and you maneuver and angle your ships fire weapons deploy fighters and in short command some pretty inventive and entertaining tactical turnbased space battles The downsides though are threefold One the civaspect of the game is barely there Diplomacy doesnt really do anything and theres little to excite an empirebuilder gamer Veteran civvers forget it all Theres no customizing planets You cant even rename them Two the 3D graphics while impressive caused a fairly new iPad to start stuttering its animations And three theres no story Zilch Realistically this plays more like a popular fanbuilt scenario from Civ 4 rather than a new game on its own Its good dont get me wrong I just expected more A solid BA              Itsokay
The game has potential but sometimes freezes half way and there is no way to finish the game other load an early game     Freeze
This game is simply the same battle repeated countless times You cant even beat the AI on the hardest difficulty You cant control what victory conditions they use so they just merge together to win wonder victories and there is literally no way to stop them This game isnt worth 5 certainly not 15 Massive changes need to be made     Boring repetative overpriced
The game and premise are great and show potential Unfortunately in battle the buttons are unresponsive essentially locking the game The only solution is to close the app and start again For the price of this game I would expect a more polished release     Game has potential
Not worth the price Got bored with it after about an hour     Boring
I liked the game before the last update Now all it does is crash when I need to fire a torpedo        Keeps crashing
The link to Civ Beyond Earth seems trudging on the surface but in reality is so frustrating it spoils the experience It took me a while to figure out how to even log in to click the 2K icon Numerous times now I have logged in and received the message You have successfully logged in After clicking OK that is followed immediately by the message my2K Connection Issue You are not logged in in the lower left corner I got it to work once the icon turns green and a new menu option is added but it has failed more than 30 times now Going to the my2K website doesnt help either there are no postings about this on the support page Neither does clicking the App Support button in the App Store nothing happens Very frustrating        Link to Beyond Earth Frustrating
Fun game it just lacks difference in ships and content Over all its a good game For iOS that is              Pretty good
Expected better replayability from Sids game Wears out quickly The idea is great but the game is disapointing        Fun for a bit
I jumped at the chance to play a Sid Meyers game and I paid the 10 It is not worth it If you want to play this wait until it goes on sale its really not worth the money until then        Not worth 10
Could be fun if it had the components we expect from Sids games but is less than half of what I expected An entire game can be played in an hour making it incredibly short Planet development is boring and combat is strangely designed All this with an exorbitant price tag makes it the worst app purchase Ive ever made     Disappointing and grossly overpriced
Great strategy game and is fun to play for maybe 15 min Then it gets old real fast and not worth the price tag Maybe 5           Great game but is missing a bit of polish
Daring to attempt a pinchzoom in sends my ship careening or even firing in unwanted directions The SpaceOpedia wont let me scroll down to view what is clearly more entries All told this game needs emergencyroom treatment but the developers are letting us linger like hangnail victims in a free clinic I PAID for a premium title DELIVER ONE        Delinquent Developer
I want to love this game but the game is very buggy I continually need to restart it while in epic maps It notoriously gets stuck while in the torpedo views     Continually need to restart
Its an ok game but nothing all that great I played it a few times and lost interest Definitely not worth the price tag        Meh
This game would be 5 stars but it crashes all the time It is so frustrating I have and iPad Air with the latest os and it still crashes PLEASE FIX THIS GAME           Good game but crashes
At first it seems OK but the guidance you get isnt all that helpful And the dialog is stupid and repetitive The game very quickly becomes just clicking on things and bypassing the narrative because it adds nothing Seems like it could be so much more but isnt there Talking with others is silly and there is no way to actually alter or influence game play What a huge waste of money and time     No strategy involved and so boring and repetitive
About 1 out of 4 times when you zoom out and release it jumps you to a totally random place on the map Infuriating     Bug when releasing pinch to zoom
Its a straight forward easy to play starship strategy game Lots of potential If you like civ rev and spaceships you will like this game However my last 3 games of domination mode have resulted in AI wins for most wonders thanks to the new update I can no longer conquer the Galaxy           New update killed my domination mode
This app freezes it crashes and on top of that there is virtually no story line Its pretty much your run of the mill galaxy conquest game None of the choices you make are very important as the space battles are extremely easy Just attack each persons home planet as quickly as possible Ive played games exactly like this for only 099        Not worth the money
A very shallow strategy game with cookie cutter starships and boring predictably easy fights For the amount of money and the reputation for Sid Meyers games its a major disappointment     lackluster
Fun but it freezes all the time     Freezes
Starships is an amazing game truly But the lag is unbearable there really needs to be more stress on the fact that it runs like crap on older iPads The jittering and freezing can really slow gameplay to a stopping point and down right disappoint me Do not buy unless you either want a slow lag filled experience or have one of the newer iPads     Love the game Hate the lag
Its a 2D electronic board game Once you figure out how to trick the AI players which is very easy the whole game becomes repetitive Worth a couple dollars max        Overpriced board game
Great game but needs a better tutorial too much detail but not straight forward              Great game but needs better tutorial
Like to play Minecraft but I think that this game is much better then MinecraftI already play 26h 32m at this gameI think The next update are better then now                 The great game
Update still has major issues with lag and graphics load time Again DONT buy unless you have newest iPad I recently purchased this to go alongside my beyone earth purchase from steam since it does link through My2K The game is graphically beautiful what I was able to see That is pretty much the best I can say about it as the game runs TERRIBLY Massive lag on first mission buttons dont work Either they need to fix the memory problems with the game or they need to not allow it to be installed on anything other the the newest and fastest ipads If you dont own the newest DONT BUY IT youll be throwing 15 down the toilet     Dont buy unless you have newest ipad
When I first looked at this game I thought of sword of the stars as far as ship customizing Sadly there is no variety to shipbuilding you just upgrade the same stuff over and over till you wind up with a fast battleship fun the first time around gets really dull every other time My other issue is that you can choose different types of victories in the settings but when I set domination the AI still ends up winning through the other victory conditions even though they werent selected Lots of time wasted Im upset and full of regret if I can dissuade at least one person from buying this game that will be of some comfort     Wasted opportunity
Update fixed victory conditions Looking forward to more updates providing new content                 Nice Update
It can be improved but this is one of the iPad games as is A few improvements will make this a great game Clean up the combat interface and easier to find info on your planets An overview map showing your location in the universe would be nice              Great game
Theres not enough content or replay ability to justify the price tag on this game Its a far cry from civilization or xcom        Too expensive
Im really disappointed with this game its pretty basic and the dialogue gets very boring I find myself just flipping through the boring dialog just so I can get to the next boring battle Its like a bad version of Civilization Revolution in outer space After XCom I really expected moreReally disappointing This should have been a 499 game     Disappointing and way overpriced
UPDATE DO NOT BUY The latest version DID NOT fix victory parameters I like the game But I regret buying it before the bugs were worked out FIRST REVIEW I loved civilization I see where the game was going but failed Victory parameters are screwy Game LAGS I have an 2nd Gen iPad Air Repetition repetition repetition Did I mention its the same thing over and over The price will buy you the exact same experience for every game Unless you hit a different bug each time Long story short buy this ONLY IF you dont mind wasting money     Not Nearly Worth the Cost
I wanted to love this game Its exactly the type of game I like but some design flaws really frustrate the experience Starships offers light resource management and focuses all its energy on turnbased combat on a twodimensional grid You start with one and eventually have eight ships in a single fleet that you then fly from battle to battle Therein lies the first problem the battles become fairly monotonous Theres almost zero variety in tactical problems you face and each battle unfolds pretty much identically from the rest The second design flaw is the worst the victory conditions of the game are according to posts in the Firaxis forums meant to force the game to be quick That strikes me as a complete sophistic copout the designers couldnt figure out a way to make the game less monotonous so they just built what equates to a fuse that ends the game Often abruptly with no warning The AI opponents regardless of your settings can win by a variety of means like building a number of special wonders even when youre making good headway with wiping them out This type of game is about conquering a galaxy and savoring a victory built battlebybattle over dozens of turns The battles themselves arent enough to really satisfy and you cant rely on the slowerpaced fun of taking over the entire map due to the victory conditions dead man switch All in all a real dissappointment        Okay but could have been great
Even on my brand new iPad Air without much memory in use yet Barely playable Overall a fine game if it were 13 the price and didnt crash constantly Would not recommend Im not even picky Oh Sid what happened     Incredibly buggy
I feel so ripped off     Boring repetitive extremely overpriced DONT BUY
Way too easy on medium difficulty whilst you get oneshotted on hard Also the game lacks any sort of depth almost nothing to do     Completely unbalanced
they could made this game better it gets boring quick i kinda regret buying this        its ok
Why is this expensive game so low resolution and blurry Reminds me of the old preRetina iPad games Hurts my eyes Also too buggy Cant even scroll the spaceopedia Not worth the money this was released too early Also very short finished on hardest setting quickly     Blurry pixels shallow game
The game play isnt particularly deep but its enjoyable enough for a couple hours of play However the game is glitchy It does crash per se but it goes unresponsive frequently As soon as the tap an enemy starship message box doesnt go away you might get a few more actions in before you have to close the game and come back in This is very frequent when you use the torpedoes What enjoyment the game has quickly disappears in the frustration of having it lock up        Fun Enough But Glitchy
