Stellar Wanderer for Negative User Reviews

✓ Pretty dullTo be honest, I got bored after about an hour and gave up..ImploManVersion: 1.0.50

✓ Broken and unplayable.I don't know what is going on with this mess, but it's totally broken. I finally got a powerful ship and weapons I needed to perform missions in the campaign, and now it's stuck telling me to load last save or last base. However both just put me back in a loop leaving me unable to do either selection without the Game Over message. Hours wasted. Plus in the hangar when I wanted to select better gear, the text is all garbled up and nothing can be bought to replace any item. Just a blank dialog box where inventory or store options should be available. Don't gamble on this mess. It's garbage. What a waste of a great game idea on developers who phoned it in..SmiteMatterVersion: 1.2.6

✓ Stopped playing soon after startingThe graphics are choppy. Controls are sluggish. The presentation switched between professional and amateur. Like another reviewer I was hoping for something that took what the Galaxy on Fire games did and ran with it, but it just feels like a second rate knock-off years after those games set the bar. It's a shame. You can tell a lot of people put some nice work into parts, but the overall package just comes up short. Too many flaws. :(.GoTonieVersion: 1.0.50

✓ Turn backI regretted purchasing this after seeing ‘subdivision’.... Which I promptly purchased.... This game has its perks, but unless you’re really dying to go retro... You’re better off getting ‘Subdivision..TheBuffer1Version: 1.4.0

✓ Don't Compare with GoF2 HD!!First off - I would advise that you DO NOT make the mistake and compare this game with GoF2, GoF2 is probably the best game available on ios so anything else is obviously going to come up short in comparison. This game is okay so far, there are good points and there are bad points. For example the star map is horrendous, that is being kind about it, it looks like it has been half finished before launching the game. I struggle to make out where I need to go and where I actually am. A little more time and care into things such as this would make the game so much better. Why release a game before it is completely ready? The dogfights are quite good, I have a controller and this works really well with the game. Although pirates seem to be constantly spawning in, take a leaf from GoF and let the player clear the area and set about mining etc in peace. The mining on SW is again quite fun, although why can't you position your ship and make it come to a complete halt to allow you to fire your lasers at the asteriod? Upgrades are also quite good fun as well, lots of aspects to upgrade and improve upon. So other than the fact that some areas and aspects of the game look a bit rushed, again being kind, I am actually enjoying this game. It would be nice to see some improvements made in any updates that are made. Star Map especially..I'mbatman20Version: 1.0.51

✓ Interesting game but too hardWay too hard. Early on the escort missions require you to kill the enemies fast but then get to places within seconds. Trying over and again and still can't get them. Each time I get to a base i sell the cargo but then if I quit the game, I have to make sure that the cargo is sold again. No real save function and you lose what you bought that last time. Too many silly problems....ScottaudVersion: 1.0.7

✓ Not worth a purchaseWouldn’t purchase, good for a free game but not something I would pay money for Game play is average, controls and menu’s are as well and I just didn’t enjoy it.BlackRabbit132Version: 1.4.0

✓ Almost ... but not even...If this is a first effort by young developers it's not bad, otherwise ...Needs much help ... too frustrating to play. Game play jerky ... do you really want to see"Stellar Wanderer" every time you use the jump gate? - Make all transitions as seamless as possible. Game saves don't work every time. - Come on! This is basic. - And when a mission fails don't make the player re-load equipment changes. Missions are sometimes too hard for available equip. ... That wouldn't be a problem if you could do side missions, but game won't let you..TrackerBobVersion: 1.0.7

✓ Not finishedThe game obviously intends to become a successor to GOF, which even do it was free to play, it was still a good game. This game on the other hand is not finished. The missions often don't work properly, the menu screens are worse than that of airport simulator's, and it has this rpg element that really hinders the gameplay experience. The map and hud are also confusing, and really look bad on a game like this. With a bit more work this could be a great game, but as it stands, it should be a free game.HermoiseVersion: 1.0.50

✓ Looks fun but controls keep locking up iPad proWhen I use the d pad or virtual controls they lock up and the ships direction can't be changed there is no issue with tilt to control but that's not helpful if it has a keyboard case attached otherwise it looks interesting.M9keVersion: 1.0.50

✓ It's no GoFIt's an ok game. Seriously thats it.. Ok. The graphics are superb I can't knock them for that but the game play is combat is bland there is no real urgency when your being fired upon. I died once or twice purely because I wasn't aware I was being fired apon. There is no evasive manoeuvres (at least early on). There is a class system and an rpg element for no apparent reason hindering it from a truly open galaxy game. So in summery it's ok. But there are better titles out there even on the iOS platform..Jackles89Version: 1.0.50

✓ Too many bugsThis game has potential, but there are too many bugs and balance fixes that need to be done. Save yourself some frustration and wait for a few updates before purchasing this game..Ducky5211212Version: 1.0.51

✓ Super frustratingLooked pretty but the controls were super sketchy and even locked at one point. Will delete, Don't waste your time or money..JimbogregsVersion: 1.0.50

✓ ImpossibleImpossible to complete. Full of bugs..Oberon1963Version: 1.2.6

✓ Too HardThe first missions are easy, but when you get to the protecting Dauntless missions, the bombers destroy Dauntless before you can reach them. The only way you can save Dauntless in your first encounter with it, is to ignore the fighters, which shoot you down still. It took me hours. In the second Dauntless mission there is no way to reach the bombers in time. Do not download this app unless you want hours of rage and stress until you delete it.Pattyrick1234567890Version: 1.0.50

✓ Irrationally difficultIt would be nice if it was possible to get past the fourth mission? How can you expect someone to escort a tiny little ship that can hardly take a scratch against three ships that split up. When I pay five dollars for a game, I expect it to be well thought out..FdghfdhfdVersion: 1.0.50

✓ Fun but gets hard fast, therefore discouragingThe enemy NPCs hit really hard right out of the gate. You have to really be on your toes and run away and wait for your shields to regenerate to survive, but it doesn’t matter because 90% of the time they shoot too fast for you to boost away, or they just dogpile you. I would give this game 5 stars but unless and until they redo the balance on beginning NPCs it’ll only be 2 stars from me. Games shouldn’t be this hard right off the bat, it discourages players from actually playing your game. Please redo the enemy NPCs for the starter zones or at least allow the player to change difficulty settings. As is, it’s too hard to level up in the beginning, so people like me give up and move onto something else. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this game until this issue is resolved. Will be happy to change my review to 5 stars if and when that happens..RocketpunkVersion: 1.4.0

✓ A good game buried under bad choicesWhat could have been a good game basically ruined by bad graphics and an unreadable interface. White text on a transparent background? Who does that?.Jeffery ThomasVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Doesn't compare to 3 year old Galaxy On Fire 2I had hoped this would be on par, if not hopefully better than Galaxy on Fire 2, but it's not Graphically, it doesn't even compare to what GoF 2 HD achieved 3 years ago. Flight 'sim' feel is similar to GoF2. It's not a space flight simulator, it's meant to 'dog fight' in space, which GoF did as well. But the feel of the controls isn't as smooth as GoF2. Most importantly the feel/look of space flight is not as rich or detailed as GoF2. If you're considering this game but haven't played Galaxy On Fire 2 HD, do yourself a favor and go play that. If you've played GoF2 HD, don't bother with this. You'll just go back and replay GoF2..RJ2Version: 1.0.50

✓ Rip off of GoFA half finished product that is a GOF clone For free the game might be worth it but paid, forget it.JustagruntVersion: 1.0.50

✓ How the mighty have fallen.After the disappointment of exiles, I had really low expectations of this game when I noticed crescent moon had something to do with it. But even then I was surprised that even by the second mission I couldn't continue. I'm not going to do this again. I want a refund..DomannaaVersion: 1.0.50

✓ Just a thoughtThe graphics and aesthetic would be infinitely better if there was slight blur over everything. Would also help if the everything in view didn't have a line of text beside it..SnowCapHeroVersion: 1.0.51

✓ Like Galaxy on Fire, but worse -- less expensive thoughAs soon as I bought this game, I knew I had played it before. The mechanics, the missions, pretty much everything is a clone of GoF. This game is less expensive, but also less rich and with far poorer graphics. I'm sad that the developers made a WORSE version of GoF instead of a better one..EyvVersion: 1.0.7

✓ HopelessImpossible control system. Get real guys, this is supposed to be fun. Enemies are dots until close, then it is too late. Manoevering your ship is clumsy and over sensitive. Naaaaaaaaah Another great creation ruined by impossible contros. I really regret the passing of the joystick era..GS 2021Version: 1.0.50

✓ Wait for GOF3 ManticoreThis is a poor imitation of Galaxy on Fire. Do not waste your money..Saint_ExVersion: 1.0.50

✓ Decent game until it won’t startGame may need to be patched. It won’t start. It’s an old game though..Darth AlphaVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Clunky BSGame could be awesome but a seems to have been rushed through production. As one reviewer said, a lot of times targets can't be locked on and become virtually impossible to kill in packs. Makes continuing the story difficult. Very frustrating to spend $5 out of the gate on an app that doesn't really work. Hoping for some software updates that address, wonderful concept and and artwork. Also make the markets less clunky and confusing..RRRRRRRRRQVersion: 1.0.51

✓ Don't waste the moneyYou have no option but to play the story line. If you get to some missions that are to hard there is no way to do side missions until you are stronger. Unless you pay to buy upgrades. Big surprise there..7213560523Version: 1.2.6

✓ Sort of okay-ishBought it and played for an hour. It is what it is, sort of clunky space adventure with vague elements of Elite (the one we really need). Why is space pink in this game? And the controls need sorting out. Sort of okay, but not for long time play. Deleted..BossmagicVersion: 1.0.50

✓ A ways to go...I like the concept, I'd recommend adding a purchase all, or sell all to merchandise Clicking one at a time to sell a hundred tones of ore is painstaking Also, this game could use a cloaking device ...maybe several? Each level you buy hides you from higher level pirates.... Cause seriously' way way too many random encounters to focus on mining...or questing... I'd also recommend adding a way to keep track of what you bought at what price... Eve if you just could tell at a glance if you made a profit At the moment, save your money, this game has a bit of streamlining to go....TheodisiousVersion: 1.0.51

✓ GlitchyThe game needs work. I would say this games ok but, there is a glitch that dose not allow you to aim completely ruining any play. In most fights you can "lock on" making it straight forward, however when reinforcements arrive you can no longer "lock on" this wouldn't be to bad if shields dint recharge or if normal aiming wasn't like ice-skating blindfolded..Gamer9182736451Version: 1.0.7

✓ Total krapWorst £3.99 I ever spent. Yeah the graphics are good, but the getting around takes so long I can't escort anything because if pirates attack I get held behind dealing with them and can't catch up in time..Bolt the Hedgehog.Version: 1.0.50

✓ Unplayable and needs an updateThe game has promise, don't get me wrong. I like how mining works in the game and the fact that there's a time multiplier for long journeys. However, there's no way to go back inside the base. There's no "dock" button and running into the hangar shields does nothing. I believe the game was released too early and still has too many bugs. Until an update is provided, my review will stay as a 1-star rating.RanchoJoeVersion: 1.0.50

✓ UnplayableI want to like this. I was a huge fan of GoF2. The controls and visuals in Stellar Wanderer are very similar which are a plus. The problem is the level of difficulty in the beginning of the game is set to "nearly impossible". There is no way to explore, mine or do any side missions to build up your ship. If you don't stick to the mission, the player gets a failure message and the title screen before having to repeat the process all over again. As a result, this game is like a reoccurring nightmare in a beautiful setting. I wouldn't recommend buying it at this point..IarepanVersion: 1.0.50

✓ Knock offThis is a cheap knock off of Galaxy on Fire. Same lay out, button layout and so much so even the hanger picture is the same. My opinion get Galaxy on Fire which I might add is free or wait for manticore. Crap is the only word that can describe this game..Horny ShaunyVersion: 1.0.50

✓ Not quite as good as gofFun at first but repetitive missions and terrible non-optional racing quest spoiled by horrible hit boxes. Buy if you have already completed gof and space miner..Flash AaAahVersion: 1.0.7

✓ CrashesThe third(maybe?) mission where you have to travel to the 3 nav points for Anderson and take out pirates results in a crash after trying it 4 times now...I give up. Seems like I could be good, but not gonna go through this again. :(.AugustschildVersion: 1.4.0

✓ Broke GameThis publisher produced a broke game. It's a shame because if it worked like it was supposed to, it would be a five star game. If you like and use the stick control, your ship frequently and hopelessly spins down to the right in circles and spins out of control in nearly every other dog fight..Dutch05Version: 1.0.51

✓ Could be greatI give this one three stars and not four because of one thing: you can't dock for repairs without failing the primary mission. This makes it almost impossible to enjoy the open world aspect of the game, or to upgrade or change your weapons without hassle. It's like oh I'd like to mine some resources for extra cash and equipment but I can't because docking for those missions makes me fail the primary. I also encountered an issue where the game would crash every time I made a jump so I had to repeat the same mission three or four times. If those things were changed I would give this game FOUR STARS. If they changed that and upgraded the graphics like GoF 2 HD then I would give it FIVE STARS. I like this game and I paid $4.99 for it so I hope they can find the time to fix these issues and make it a great game worthy of $5..TurindirVersion: 1.0.50

✓ CrapLast time I get suckered into paying for Crescent Moon games. Tried to support you but quality keeps dropping. Your model is broken and you need to stop fooling devs and players..Sassyjackson5Version: 1.0.50

✓ Full of bugs, on Apple TVThis review is for the Apple TV version. Playing this with a BT controller (Xbox) and after 2-3 dockings at starbases, no more sound effects, only music... After 2nd starbase in the market, every time I hit “B” to return to previous menu, the game exits to Apple TV main menu...instead of starbase menu. After the 2-3 jumps through gates, the boost is working only randomly, needs to be pressed like 10 times, sometimes starts like 3-4 seconds later after pressing.... Apple TV 4k, 64G, available 48G. Controller fully charged every time. I am playing other games with this controller on AppleTV and it works flawlessly..Vcar77Version: 1.4.0

✓ I was looking forward to this one......Highly disappointed. It will become abundantly clear that this game was created by ........let's just say, people outside of the USA. The English is poorly written and there are many misspellings. The game itself is so-so for an app but having played Eve, there is really no comparison. I do really hope that more of this genre will be produced but let's hope it's better done next time!.ECON1OVersion: 1.0.50

✓ DisappointingUI is very rough, gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. Very disappointing for the price. :(.Silvermoon82Version: 1.0.7

✓ Soooo much potential, but falls far shortAt this point I have to conclude the at least half of the 11 positive reviews are the game makers. The ship handling and combat is a lot like GOF - that is the good part. There are A LOT less things to do and buy. Ships and accessories are extremely limited. There is no story line per say, just tasking so for missions. Side missions are all takes by the same character whichever system you are in. Now here is the part I find painful, the missions are all the same. Protect the Dauntless - no problem. Another mission, Dauntless wants you back - exact same scenario, number of enemies, flight direction, etc. This game is half finished. Pity, could have been up there with the big dogs..NeftimiadesVersion: 1.0.7

✓ Could be great!The grammar of the subtitles is terrible, so was probably made in a non-English speaking country. Game is almost an exact copy of gameplay and layout of StrikeWing. Feels like you are playing an earlier crappier version of StrikeWing. It is made by the same company, so that makes sense. The difference is that Stellar Wanderer is more of an open sandbox world, where StrikeWing follows a storyline with one mission at a time. I just wish they kept gameplay smoother as with StrikeWing. Hopefully updates will fix some of the issues. Why are equipped missiles still part of the cargo hold? If they are mounted, they shouldn't be using up cargo space. Hard to complete many missions because you can be fighting bad guys, and not know the freighter you were escorting warped out, and since you didn't follow, you lost the mission. Need more notifications during missions. Better targeting options would be nice. A speed match button to move the same speed of a target would be nice too, so we don't keep passing slow enemies or escorted ships. I hate having to hit reverse every five to ten seconds to stay near the ship I am protecting. Controls are sloppy, gameplay needs better controls and more options. Nowhere near as fun as Galaxy on Fire. This game is difficult to figure out, and needs cleaning up to get better ratings..Matt ServiceVersion: 1.0.51

✓ Seriously? Must there be pirates in every system?I am trying to like this. At first it was great. Yes, I also experienced problems with docking until I figured it out. But now, at level nine, with a new and upgraded ship, I am being jumped by pirates everywhere I go. I can fight off 2 or 3 at a time, but they damage my hull. And then a new wave of pirates jumps up right on top of me before I can get the station or jump point. It's ridiculous. Can't there just be one wave of pirates and then there done when you are just passing through? Why does there have to be wave after wave after wave? For one thing, logically I would be detoxing them faster than they could be rebuilt..WMBTBYVersion: 1.0.50

Stellar Wanderer works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Stellar Wanderer.
