An awesome strategy game, been playing on and off for about 6 years. Starts off with a gentle learning curve and short upgrade times. Progresses into a rich and complex end game. F2P all the way to the end however you can pay to advance faster. Active development although the game can be a little glitchy. Extremely active marketplace for items and materials. A number of different currencies in the game, none of which are exclusive to P2W. Game includes simple base (ship) design but with subtle depths to it as you get deeper into the game. Crew training, outfitting, item crafting, tiered crew upgrading with regularly changing recipes, an array of different rooms that are upgradable, different ship models, and crew and room behaviour scripting. All together creating a large range of different strategies to winning, with monthly tournaments if you join a fleet. One of the best game communities out there, possibly the best, driven by discord. You can join a fleet quite early on and knowledge sharing is actively encouraged. Extremely multi cultural, and I’ve found that the communities have highly diverse age ranges. The one I’m part of is well moderated, no bullying, very well organised and inclusive, to the point that there are community members that don’t even play anymore but still participate in the community because it’s a genuinely nice place to be. The end game is quite intense with a special pvp mode just for the top players, but enjoyable at all levels particularly if you join a fleet and participate in the community. Long live The Dynasty!

First off I would like to, warmly, congratulate the devs. They have made a brilliant ship building/combat game that feels like a space version of fallout shelter. Pixel Starships not only boasts amazing mechanics but also has optional micro-transactions, Which I feel, are not needed to enjoy this game. It also has an amazing community. I had just built my account, and reached ship LVL 4.(Light destroyer.) I rapidly received a friend request, from a ‘New clan.’ However, they had 2K+ players, and somehow one of the leaders decided to recruit me. The games itself consists of gathering resources(Minerals,Gas and Starbux.) And using these to buy, and upgrade rooms, Players upgrade storage capacity so they can hold more Minerals and Gas.(As Starbux have no limit.) Starbux are the in-game version of V-Bux or RoBux. These are used to, fill Gas or mineral to max, Speed up rooms, Complete certain researches, and to buy a UFO Class of ship. The players also have access to global, English, Fleet(Like clans.) Chats. These are where players discuss. It also has a bursting marketplace, where users choose how much of something to sell. And how much to sell for. Certain items are ‘Contraband’ and can’t be sold. Overall, it’s a fun Base-building and PVP Game. 10/10

Games incredibly fun, if your a fan of pixel games and spaceship simulation you will proberbly like this game, plus it’s constantly and I do mean constantly, being updated too, lots of events, nearly none stop actually, oh and it’s got decent combat too and your little crew can have AI behaviour assigned so they act a certain way in said combat, at least for ships, seriously it’s fun though I do wish there were more cosmetics beyond the skins we can get from events, skins which I’m pretty sure will never be seen again unfortunately, as honestly I like the ships normal designs and being able to mess with colour and stuff but if I can make the ship look different overall I think it would add to the experience, it’s also got a massive community, basically there’s too much to describe in a single review.Overall it’s fun and I recommend it.

Pixel starships is a great game for anyone that loves base builders or sci-fi. It brings a nice twist having the base as a mobile spaceship that you can build up to an impressively huge capital ship.As you level up the complexity of additional components keeps you challenged. There are always many strategies and configurations for you to choose. No two ships are identical.However it has one huge balancing issue currently which has cost it a star. As soon as the teleported is introduced it becomes the easiest and cheapest way to destroy enemy ships (from level 5 onwards). The teleporter itself isn’t the broken element, the entire boarding system is broken. Simplifying the issues: Enemy crew can walk past anyone and not get shot, enemy crew (attackers) get to shoot twice before the defending crew shoot, enemy crew can instantly teleport onto ships, enemy crew destroy rooms at least 5 times faster then any other ship weapons, there is no ai to tell friendly crew to target enemy boarders. It’s been an issue for a while now and there are many ways it could be balanced, starting with making crew fights trade shots. Although it doesn’t seem like a change will come anytime soon, so it is something we have to live with and lose to.
