Could be amazing

I’ve given this game four stars as I can see a lot of work and love has been put into it. I’ve also given the dev a bit of money though in app purchases to support them as in principle this is… almost the game I’ve been dreaming of. I even wrote a Reddit post in r/gameideas awhile back this very concept for an idle game I swear.

So why not 5 stars? Unfortunately, and I suppose this down to personal taste. I kinda hate the art style. The colour scheme, the character models and animations. The outfits are kinda immersion breaking and some of the mechanics don’t make a lot of sense, like quests and missions are pretty much literally the same thing.

There are also a few bugs, were you have to restart the game I order to click on certain crew mates again and UI glitching out. However, this is still I new game (I think?) and the bugs aren’t game breaking so it’s not so bad as I assume the dev will fix this soon.

All in all a great, original idea. Fairly well executed. That will hopefully get updated. The only downside for me personally is that I kinda hate how it looks. Which ultimately I don’t think I can get over. That said I think the game is targeting a much younger audience than me so this is kinda my problem at the end of the day.
