Crying Suns for Negative User Reviews

✓ It’s OKThe story kept me engaged enough to finish on easy. But the combat is not much fun. When I was done on easy I went back to try the game on normal. Even when you get some synergy it’s just not very satisfying. The ships should not be called “battleships”, they don’t have hardly any capital ship weapons just anti fighter guns and the whole combat revolves around a rock, paper, scissors of different fighter types. The graphics would have looked great 20 years ago but I’m not a huge fan of the “hey let’s go retro for the graphics” look that is popular now. Though some of it is attractive, like seeing an enemy ship blow up and some of the artistic cutscenes. Also, long before I finished the game I was already seeing many of the same NPC stories repeatedly. The game needs: Battleship weapons More of the random story content A better combat system I will continue to try the combat on medium but it’s really not feeling fun now that the story is done..IronGiantVersion: 2.2.4

✓ Thousands of hours into this style of game.Crying Stars tries to take FTL to the next level and succeeds in many places. Parts still feel awkward. There are bugs still in this game, and occasional crashes on an ipad mini 6th gen. I also found the ending unsatisfying but that could be just me. Certainly great value for the price and perhaps I will get more out of it on harder difficulty settings..BladeturnerVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Not quite funI can tell a lot of effort went into making this game. The art is nice, there’s ample lore/world-building, and there’s lots of content. The problem is, that for me at least, it just isn’t fun. There are so many game mechanics that constantly bombard you with choices and decisions that just feel inconsequential. The RTS space combat system is particularly disappointing. At first glance it has so much depth and promise with numerous ship upgrades, weapons, officers, and three different classes of units where each squadron can be independently managed and upgraded. But it hardly matters. In the end combat is largely a game of rock paper scissors between the three different types of units. My recommendation - go play FTL instead. That’s what I’ve found myself doing when trying to get into this game..Zeta-ZetaVersion: 3.0.3

✓ It’s okIt’s a great retro styled game, nice little story arc.... but by Christ is it hard, even on easy. I started on normal because that’s what you should always do...but getting my backside handed to me, because everything costs scrap, and scrap is hard to come by, it was back to the beginning 3 times without even completing chapter 1. On, try it on easy...nope, still just as bad. Nice game, but if I’d know it was going to just be a futile grind every time..I wouldn’t have purchased..RolywarVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Great game but too many crashes.Excellent game, would be 5 stars if not for the fact it crashes in battles 50% of the time forcing you to restart it from the beginning..Jwcf001Version: 3.0.1

✓ Really terrible. I can’t say enough bad things. Negative stars!What game? RNG with sci-fi appropriation. Combat is the worst thing ever. It is the opposite of fun. It is the opposite of streamlined. What is opposite of both of those things?I don’t know, but it’s awkward and unpleasant and not worth $9! Every single feature of combat needs to be automated. The little ships and guns need to operate themselves once I give them commands, like: attack or defend. Choosing their tiles is busywork. I thought I paid somebody $9 to do that busywork for me but they decided I could do all that crap so here we are writing grumpy reviews. This is not better than FTL. It’s merely a slightly different style of that same not really a game. If you didn’t like FTL then you will hate this. Enjoy your $9, Humble Bundle, because it’s the last you’ll get from me. 👎👎.MetallurgicarboristVersion: 1.4.5

✓ Too many long-presses; too little rewardI hate long-presses. This game is a lot of long-press and tap sequences, for little reward. Annoying. My hangar has two ship slots. Filled. Lets change deployed ships. Tap “squadrons”. Expands that command area. Tap a ship. Details come up. But the list of replacements doesn’t. Even though there is plenty of room. Tap ship in hangar again, maybe that will give option to replace. Nope, closes the detail popup. Long-press ship dock. That removes the ship. Doesn’t bother to open the list of undeployed ships! Click empty dock. Finally get ship list. Tap one. All that happens is details popup. Seriously?! Gets worse in battle. Because I frequently need to long-press dock-with-ship, I accidentally long-press a long-range weapon that has been charging for ten seconds. Instantly undeploys, without any warning. Fine, time is stopped, so do the multiple steps needed to get it back. Of course the 10 seconds of arming starts over. Land on planet. Watch a sequence of random events that you have no control over. Having fun yet? No. Uninstall. Story is mildly interesting, so I gave it 2 stars..Steve 1592Version: 3.0.1

✓ Poor misunderstanding of what a mobile game should be.This game looks great and has a powerful storyline as far as I can tell and that’s the issue. Mobile games are meant to be casual by default and hardcore optional. So after a hard day at work you want to relax with some casual gameplay; not too taxing but immersive none the less. You therefore choose easy mode and after halfway through act one it’s game over. You reload, hey maybe it’s one of those things I’ll do better next time...nope. Rinse and repeat. And that’s what destroys the fun, more luck than skill a lot of the time and learning from past mistakes does not get you any further despite other reviews due to the randomness mechanic. They cry look at this guide for help: No, it’s a mobile game on casual mode, it should be intuitive. So avoid spending your money if you want a relaxed gaming experience. If on the other hand you want a daily grind like being at work but without the pay dive in..FoxesBlueVersion: 2.1.3

✓ Love the game ( please fix the crashing bugs )Bought this game since it reminded me of elite dangerous and FTL and my god it has scratched that itch. But my one annoyance is that there is a bug with the juggernaut ship where if you are moving into kill them with the juggernaut ship and get the hull driver ability to pop off (large damage to battleship) then the game crashes out. Doesn’t matter what encounter. If hull driver kills then it crashes. Please devs fix this, I love the game but this bugs me to no end every time it happens. If this and other bugs were fixed then review would be higher. To anyone who wants to play, it’s a great game but expect bugs crashing you out of the game..TriTioN of AtlaSVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Awesome Space GameReally awesome space game, feels a little repetitive after a while but the story helps to fix that. The only issue is the constant crashing, don’t seem to lose much progress if any but it is annoying. Another thing would be to make a sandbox mode where you can multiple battleships otherwise the game is just too boring and too easy..LiamAdams21Version: 2.2.0

✓ Pretty... then it opens its mouthThe art direction is amazing, no question. The initial plot even sounds cool: an empire shut down overnight, nobody knows why. Then the captain of an enemy ship says something along the lines of: “That’s my momma you’re talking about.” Then a scientist tries to sell you ‘special sunglasses for seeing aliens’ while acting like a grade schooler who thinks their obvious con will work. Considering one of the main pulls of the plot is an ongoing mystery, it really calls into question how well the payoff will be. Gameplay-wise, the world map mechanic is pretty much pulled straight from FTL, right down to systems becoming hostile between jumps. For ship-to-ship combat, weapons are essentially from FTL. The deployable fighter ships are cookie-cutter RTS faire..HanzheVersion: 1.4.3

✓ Just okay, bad endingCombat gets super repetitive around chapter 3/4 so I ended up just switching to easy and cheesing every fight with stealth. Story is mostly good as long as you don't think hard enough to realize the plot holes. Was captivating enough for me to play to the end, at least. The ending, though... at the very least it is unconventional but holy cow is it extremely unsatisfying, especially for a narrative-based game..PodankVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Darn good game, but some annoying technical choices.So, Crying Suns is a great game. it doesn’t have the same phenomenal writing as FTL, but I’ve been playing it a lot on my phone since FTL only supports iPad. The reason for 2 stars is because A) for some reason, they make you choose between the game audio, and podcast/music audio. Even though they give you the option of disabling the in-game music, you still can only pick one to hear. Also, and I could be wrong, but I would expect this game to run at 60fps, especially on the latest hardware, but it is locked to 30fps. If these two things were gone, this would easily be a 4-5 star game..TopShelfThotsVersion: 2.1.2

✓ Fun, but unstable and unfinishableFrequently crashes on scene transitions. I’ve fought the Chapter 5 cluster boss 3 times now because it always crashes on the post battle dialogue. There really needs to be a save some where between finishing that fight and the scene transition, because this fight has become tedious and I don’t want to have to do it every time when trying to trying to force myself through chapter 5’s end sequence..XenofchaosVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Crashes oftenGood game in almost every way. Crashes during combat a lot. Frustrating..KitmckattVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Far to repetitiveThe game is somewhat simple but starts out ok. Then you find that you have basically experienced everything it has to offer in about 5 min. Everything after that repeats the same thing with a thin girl of change. There is no strategy or skill you can use to influence most of the decision points, it is just a roll of the dice. On top of that every 6 ish planets you ‘start over’ with none of your advancements retained..Psyco monkyVersion: 2.2.4

✓ A game that won’t make me wanted to play for long timeGreat quality, but it lack something, maybe a soul, this is a game that i played for 36 hour and decided to let go and never come back, it was fun at first, then it’s kinda pointless, where is the attractiveness or something to possess? Reached chapter 3 and I decided that’s enough, this is a game that not worthy to keep. Good bye..SupermmmmmooooffffffoVersion: 1.4.2

✓ CrashingPlease it keeps crashing after finishing the final dialog at the end of chapter 4, I’m completely stuck.SoleilxsVersion: 3.0.0

✓ If you like being frustrated, this is your game.There are five chapters and three sections for each chapter. As you go along you collect scrap which is used for upgrades. You also need to collect fuel which is also used for upgrades. The dumbest part of the game is that after each chapter you start the next chapter completely from scratch. You don’t have access to anything you collected besides maybe an officer (still can’t figure out how they determine that non-sense). If you die during the chapter, yep, start over from scratch. And then to top it all off, a lot of “missions” are a coin toss but good luck coming out ahead even 50% of the time. This has to be one of the lamest, most frustrating games I’ve ever played and I wish I could trade it in or at least snap the disk so no one else has to deal with my mistake. The reason it gets the one star instead of zero, is because the story is somewhat engaging. Good luck trying to get through it though..ZeeZoyVersion: 2.1.3

✓ Crashing After Boss FightsI really love this game. However, there are still some serious tech issues; LOTS of crashing. Most egregiously, the app has crashed three times after boss fights. What’s worse is that after it crashes, you have to replay the boss fight. This is extremely aggravating, especially considering how close — and how long — these fights were. Edit: tech support told me they fixed the bug that caused the app to crash after a certain boss fight. So, I updated the app, completed the boss fight for the fourth time, and it crashed at the same exact spot again... so, I docked another star. Fix please....BowloblauVersion: 1.4.2

✓ Extremely repetitiveFinished the game after 6 hours - graphics are amazing and story is good overall. However the game becomes extremely repetitive for the following reasons: 1. The ground exploration is basically selecting a commander and watching your team explore for 2-3 min. It’s the same thing repeated 50x throughout the game. 2. The story, while good, doesn’t follow the show not tell rule. Dialogue is extremely dense and makes me want to skip it. 3. Each time you navigate to a planet there is a random event. The problem is there are only 50 events in total, so you see the same events over and over again even in the same run. 4. The combat is the best part of the game. However even that becomes repetitive after awhile and my iPhone X screen is too tiny to see the nav elements. Overall, this is not worth paying full price for and it was a slog to get to the end. A shame too because the graphics, sound, etc are great..Pgyang616Version: 1.4.3

✓ Don’t know what to do.Needs a better tutorial, my first battle I had no idea how to defend myself while under attack, all I could do after desperately clicking on anything and everything in vain was to sit back and watch myself get destroyed. Prior to that I had been following the tutorial to the letter up until the first battle, it told me how to man the different stations with my crew, but nothing about the actual combat so, 15 minutes of playing time and I’m stuck..ChrisR36Version: 2.2.4

✓ Game keeps crashingFun little game but it just keeps crashing in mid battle. Very annoying. Especially when you’re in a boss fight and have to do it all over again..CallmejosiahVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Game Breaking CrashI have a 100% impassible crash state in this game. Chapter 2 just started, game warps me into the first system. The Prag mah introduction happens. No matter how I try to proceed through the conversation, when it ends and the exchange “Funny coming from a machine” -> “I heard that” occurs, the game crashes. 100% repeatable, happens every time I load my save. I can’t skip or bypass this conversation. My only options are to restart my run or stop playing. But restarting my run ‘kills’ my special officers & doesn’t guarantee this won’t happen again. Incredibly disappointing, I was really enjoying this game..Neil GoldsteinVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Constant crashingI’ve tried on iOS16&17 and iPhone&iPad and I can’t get past sector 2 boss of Chapter 1 because it crashes repeatedly..ThargyVersion: 3.0.1
