Great game - been looking at it for ages and finally taken the plunge. Dipped in, and completed the first Chapter on my first go on Standard and have several chapters left to go. Will have to come back to it another time though - the story lasts some time / is good value for money and not all over before you feel it's barely started like some games. I have completed FTL previously on standard so am used to the strategy / managing and making decisions on resources. I haven't had to look up any help or explanations like some reviewers mention or bemoan it it too hard etc. Is just right for me. Clearly explains itself in all areas and is a challenge - giving a sense of accomplishment when overcoming challenges and proceeding onto the next stage of the story. I look forward to where it will lead / hope it will continue to please
Crashing issue - fixed with iOS update

UPDATED. - see below. App Store says my device is compatible but using iOS 13 and iPhone 7 game crashes frequently making it unplayable. Will attempt to upgrade iOS but so far disappointed as love the concept and the pay-up-front format. Will update review if crash issue solved in update.So update to 14.4 worked in fixing the crashing issues. Very interesting game, the geek in me loves the nods to some of my favourite sci-fi books and games and can imaging this is going to take a long time to master. I hope there is a ‘free to explore’ option later on. Yet to master the combat on a small device but see that as a challenge rather than an issue.
Brilliant

A daring and faithful blend of 4X strategy and real time space combat, with great decision-making, replayability and a strong narrative. You can throw many comparisons at this game, as many people have; FTL, Homeworld, the fantastic 1992 Dune game. But with its creative vision, beautiful synth soundtrack and fantastic pixel art visuals, I think it stands on its own. This has just become my go-to iPad game.
Excellent but too hard

This game is so well made in so many ways ... BUT if you’re like me and get more enjoyment from the exploration, discovery and sense of progress than from a tough strategic challenge then it might not be for you. On “easy” mode, I find myself limping out of every victory by the skin of my teeth with most of my units bust up and running out of fuel all the time. Honestly, I just find it stressful.Developers: I think difficulty settings should be there to cater for different playing styles. Some people love striving hard to beat a tough challenge. Good for them, they can turn it up to “hard”. But people like me get turned off by always playing on the edge of survival.
