Star Trek Lower Decks Mobile 12+

Good idle clicker, good Trek writing, I’d pay for no ads!

‪It’s good for an idle clicker style game. Also love the writing, I feel like they captured the voices of the characters well. There’s elegance in the Lower Decks game being an idle clicker about menial tasks, but idle clickers only have so much depth. I want more game depth!‬ Even one or two more things where player choice matters over waiting would be very welcome.

The events are too short (or milestones too high) to the point you have no chance to earn the milestone rewards before they end without paying money. I get the ranked rewards driving people to spend, but the milestones it’s just feel bads not getting them. Maybe aim for free players earning 75% of them instead of 50%? Then I’d be more tempted to spend a couple bucks to finish them off.

Besides all that, other games of this style let you buy a no ads mode for like $10-20, absolutely more than you’re earning off my ads right now. I’d totally do that for this game, but it just isn’t offered as an option!

Kinda fun, but incomplete and buggy

This is a fairly fun idle game that’s a slight variation on this type of game (I call them zig-zag games, not sure if the genre has a name). But after a while progression gets very, very slow, which makes it boring. It seems to be incomplete, too, because if you go into the settings, about half the options are disabled. It doesn’t even connect to Game Center, which is a very basic thing for games to do. There are some interface bugs to where some elements will be behind others and you have to scroll to just the right place to interact with them. Plus, there are arrows that will scroll you to something you need to collect, or whatever, but they get stuck on the screen and will take you to a building that is not ready to collect. That gets really annoying because they flash, in an attempt to get your attention, and you basically can’t get rid of them.

Don’t even bother with events. Only the top 20 players get a decent reward and you won’t get anywhere near that unless you spend lots and lots of money. Even if you start an event the moment it becomes available and have the multiplier from watching ads going the whole time, and do nothing else in life but play this game, you’ll still not be anywhere near the top 20. They need to break it down by percentages, rather than just the top 20 players. As more people play this game, casual players will have absolutely no hope of ever getting anything from events.

Hello, Lower Decks Captain,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the Star Trek Lower Decks' game progression, options being greyed out, and the monetization model. We're working on making the game the best it can be, aiming to improve it by bringing more fun and challenging features soon! 

About options on the settings being greyed out, they are correlated to our upcoming account linking and cloud saves feature. We're currently working on getting account linking and cloud saves available, so stay tuned to our social media for updates!

We're also looking at different ways for players to enjoy game progression whether in the main game or events, even if they choose not to make purchases. 

I'd love to hear any more feedback you may have at lowerdecks@mightykingdom.games 

Thanks for your support, 🖖

Great beta test.

This is a lovely game. It is a lot of fun and captures the spirit of the show well. It is, however, a beta test game. There is nothing in place to save the game so that you can play you current game on a different device. There are grayed out buttons indicating a future feature. I was considering an iPhone upgrade but I would have to start over from the beginning. I am almost finished with Episode 15. I have made a few small purchases which will be gone trying to go to a new device. I discovered this trying to play my game on my iPad. The game looks great on an iPad. But no progress will move to any other device. The developers are aware that this is an issue but don’t have saves or game center implemented yet. It should be labeled a beta test with some features not working at this time. I would also suggest that until this is working, AVOID ANY IN-GAME PURCHSES!!! If you change devices, all progress is lost.
