Stellar Tactics

I made a new character, went through the 1st intro mission, got to the next mission to the next floor where I was facing a.. boss type enemy and the game crashed. I'm aware it's "in development" but it's the year 2020 now and it had been in development for 4 years. For being a version 0.485a I expected more. The theory is great, improve skills on use but also have levels for attribute points. The graphics are mood enhancing. It feels like "I want to see more" but I also got bored a bit already. I'm not sure if it's possible to refund this unfinished game, but I'll try. The controls feel not smooth. The UI's graphics could be improved for more atmosphere. Targetting enemies is a big weird, you have to circle the camera at times to not aim at something else. Hitting different body parts doesn't seem to make a difference and torso has the highest hit chance. That feature probably isn't implemented yet. However seeing that it's in its 4th year now and the state of the game right now, it will take at least another 3 to turn this into something good as opposed as something that has potential right now but lacks stability and polish, and ofc it isn't finished yet. 2 stars because goddammit if they're asking money for this, it better at least be playable without crashing 30 minutes into the game. My wallet is not a welfare office.

Save your money and wait until this game is finished. Replaying the tutorial 5 times because of game breaking bugs and a useless autosave feature not worth it.

I read the reviews and almost didnt buy this incredible GEM! Good work MAVERICK GAMES! DEFINATELY worth $20! its not even finished....... BUT ITS FRIGGEN AWESOME

Terrible descriptions/instuctions in quests. If you like being confused and lost this is your game!!!

I tried posting a review only to learn I put one up in 2022 when I gave the game a 1 star. Improvement has been made! I'm now rating this as a LOW 3 star. I really want this game to succeed! Maybe I'm too old (62!) but the combat/ship flying was near impossible for me to twist my fingers to do "this" and then do "that". I put in about 75 hours and made heavy use of saved games (you should save frequently) most of it just grinding to raise my experience levels. After a while, I found the planet missions repetitive: same mission but you get a short, medium or long version of the grind. I was frustrated as my level 6 character weapons did less and less damage while the computer seemed to become stronger. In 70+ hours of playing, I barely raised over one million credits. I tried to buy ship improvements but couldn't get the game to swap out new targeting computers or shields. The idea of even more grinding to get a different ship pushed me over the edge of frustration and I am giving up. Others have correctly commented on the slow load times and maybe that will be worked out with the final version. I would like to see optional formations. You can select which character will lead your group but in my playing, my fourth character always ended up entering first or being the one to initiate combat. I don't feel right asking for a refund with so many hours invested. At this point, I may wait a year (or more) to see what the finished game will look like and to see if playability for old people improves. Right now, I cannot recommend this game. If it improves, if it becomes easier to play, I will certainly consider resubmitting my review--GOG is very good in allowing players to resubmit better, higher-scored reviews. I just hope I have that opportunity. Yes, I know this is a Development game but, at the moment, it's not for me, not right now but with great regret (and hope that the game is improved).
