Need to lower price for the game i just don't feel there is enough content for
the price i would recommend to my friends if game was a little more polished
with a bit more content if y'all would drop the price to ten USD i feel like
this game could blow up.I would probably even buy a few copy's for my friends.

Game has unintuitive UI and no real tutorial. The button labelled "Academy"
appears to potentially be a tutorial but when I click it the screen just
freezes. It also seems as though the devs may have moved on from this game which
would be unfortunate since it doesn't appear to be complete.

Great Game, as long as you have more then 1 person. Do not try and play it
single player, the AI is just not great on the ship and an AI pilot is terrible.
Besides that I wish there were more races and the end game was a ton of fun,
there is a lot of replay ability and liars dice became a favorite of my crew. We
were gonna run a sub campaign and see how that is but every part except the
planets (which is just that they were empty and didn't serve a big purpose for
the most part. you could skip by most and it wouldn't change much) and the
commandeering another ship system, this one in particular bugged me. Long story
short if you steal a ship you will be flying under the colors of that ship, but
if you go to your home areas they will shoot at you like they don't know you. I
would have loved a unlock able or science thing that let your faction know you
are really flying a stolen ship, If I remember right our own faction was mad at
us for stealing a ship too, i could be wrong about that though. This game is
awesome though.

Played it years ago with a 2-3 friends. Was fun, but lacked content to push past
10 hours.

great game, I have made some great memory on it. Not sure why the recent reviews
are mixed, its a cheap and fun game you wont regret buying! Its a lot like FTL
and startreck VR.

By far one of my favourite Co-op games. Spent HOURS playing it with various
different friend groups, as well as Solo, completed the game at least 3 times by
now, and it really does just never get old. The lore runs HELLA deep, and
getting immersed into something as trivial as Sylvassi biology really does just
tie the universe together and make it feel real. And that's not even MENTIONING
the gameplay. Sure, it can get a little dull or repetitive when nothing is
happening, but once you get further and further into the game, those little
down-time spots of nothing going on are something you REALLY learn to
appreciate, since it's basically your only reprieve from the constant chaos of
dogfights, random events, etc etc.
The only MINOR complaint I have about the game is the frequency of Long-Range
Comms missions. You'll get one pretty much every 2 jumps in the early game,
which sounds amazing at first, until you realise that you get side-tracked from
trying to do a side-quest every time you finally make it back to Outpost 448 and
try to use the warpgate by being given another mission to finish on a time
limit. I love the missions, don't get me wrong, but, in my current playthrough,
my crew ended up getting the CU Data Chip, the GH Data Chip AND the High Rollers
Data Chip before we even left the space surrounding Outpost 448. Definitely not
something to complain about most of the time, but maybe it would be nice for
missions to be a little scarcer to encourage exploration in-between.
Final note, I absolutely ADORE the game, and I hope the devs are still working
on it, but if they are, I'd love to see features like larger ships with more
crew capacity later down the line, maybe the likes of a battleship with space
for 2 Weapons Specialists, or a Large Science Vessel with 2 separate Science
departments, one focusing on Research and the other focusing on Scanners, etc
etc. I would love to be able to share this game with more than just 5 people.
Not to mention how insanely fun Proximity Chat and an Intercom would make that!
To any of you considering whether or not you should buy this game, if you have
at least 3 friends to play with it's an ABSOLUTE yes. Even if you don't, the
game is still insanely fun to play singleplayer, albeit not quite as good as
Co-op.

If you have friends to play with, it's an absolutely fantastic time. Solo is
significantly worse but as far as role-playing star trek or getting guns of
icarus nostalgia, this game is better than anything else out there.

I realized after begging over 10 people to play this game with me that I should
probably give it a positive review. It is more than worth the price tag, even if
it's not perfect. Do get some mates to play it with, though.
In the words of a friend of mine - "It's a better Star Trek game than the Star
Trek games."

The Neural Calibration bullshit is not something I am good at, and the fact that
if you can't do it, well haha, only the Captain can so get screwed, is stupid.

Definetly deserves more recognition as one of the best space sims out there, i
implore the community to work on more workshop content for this.

Legitimately a fun romp in space. 5 easy to understand roles, and even bots to
backfill the spots.
The "fun" is in the chaos that ensues. Something as simple as "jump three
quadrants away to deliver this package" becomes a bunch of hi-jinks and
unmitigated disasters as you get involved in dogfights, bad luck, sidetracking
on planets and just your friends being... well, your friends.
Is it perfect?
no
not even. Its got a janky UI, the menus take awhile to understand, the tutorial
(well its heart in the right place) doesn't teach everything, and some talents
obviously outperform others. But you don't play it because its perfect. you play
it to effectively re-enact some sci-fi drama ya'll enjoy. The fun is most
definitely in the journey more than the destination. Its always amazing talking
to other players who have logged YEARS into this game just to finish a singular
campaign.

The epitome of diamond in the rough. If you can look past the graphics and
occasional janky mechanic, this is some of the best co-op action you'll play.
