Star Traders: Frontiers

Chinese thanks

Don’t be deceived by the high aggregated score. <br/><br/>This company either pays for reviews or has a core “early-access” crowd boosting the score. <br/><br/>With no tutorial and dense mechanics, this game is almost unplayable without consulting a wiki.<br/><br/>This is apparent from character creation onward, followed by a few comically unexplained prompts leading to the main quest. <br/><br/>In addition, many UI elements are tiny and unexplained.<br/><br/>If you enjoy mystery novels, perhaps you will find delight in the pain.

Star traders is so much fun, you can really get lost in the world and unless you’re killed, you just keep going, getting stronger, growing your own operation whether that’s being the strongest military ship in your faction or going around spying on everyone for who you decide deserves it. Awesome game, never seen this formula on iOS.

This game has knocked my socks off. The quality is excellent. I like the narrative/free-roam balance. Interesting lore and characters. No ads, just straightforward one-time purchase of the game and you’re golden. <br/>I’ve sank maybe a little over 30 hours into it and I’ve barely brushed the surface. It feels robust, and that’s something I don’t normally experience with mobile games. This game set out with a goal and absolutely crushed it!<br/><br/>If you enjoy RPGs, this game is worth a play.

I love deep RPGs and this is one of them. However I’m not big on all the complex parts of this game. I always end up getting a certain way into the game and then encountering enemies I can’t beat. I lose a few battles and fail quests and then run out of money. <br/><br/>I’d love it if you added a story level of difficulty where the battles are a little hard but you never lose even when outmatched. I’d pay extra if you added that or add a way for me to pay $4.99 and get 5 million credits or something. <br/><br/>Thank you.

Actual dogcrap. Awful combat, painful UI that makes finding good trades far too lengthy, constant “oOo, SpAcE dAmAgE” godawful nonsense occurring every few seconds that wipe out any mediocre trade profits. There are a lot better trading games out here. Avoid this one.

This developer likes to abandon their games on other platforms, leaving people who paid for them without the product they bought functioning. I don’t expect it to work for a lifetime, but they truly love abandoning games.

It’s crazy how RNG this game is, so it makes early game gameplay a slug and coin flip. Then when you try to really invest in something, the game locks you out of the main story because you spent three months stuck in hyper warp. Wasting the whole hellish run. I hate this game for the time it’s wasted. It’s got way too much in it to be so finicky, the UI cramped, easy to misclick, save scumming basically needed. No way to make a good crew not completely out of dog water. I understand the guys have updated it for years, but it’s just to frustrating and iffy of a game to say it’s okay to INVEST time into. ABSOLUTELY NOT. It will screw too over each time on RNG, horrid UI, and extremely time limited story missions.
