no data collected but too grindy
too often the encountered ships destroyed mine. even early simple missions. 50/50 survival is 100% uninstall

Great game but hard
I love deep RPGs and this is one of them. However I’m not big on all the complex parts of this game. I always end up getting a certain way into the game and then encountering enemies I can’t beat. I lose a few battles and fail quests and then run out of money.
I’d love it if you added a story level of difficulty where the battles are a little hard but you never lose even when outmatched. I’d pay extra if you added that or add a way for me to pay $4.99 and get 5 million credits or something.
Thank you.

Underrated
A bit of a mix between freelancer and FTL. Choose what you want to do and which factions you want to support across the universe.

Find a better game
Actual dogcrap. Awful combat, painful UI that makes finding good trades far too lengthy, constant “oOo, SpAcE dAmAgE” godawful nonsense occurring every few seconds that wipe out any mediocre trade profits. There are a lot better trading games out here. Avoid this one.
★★★★★positiveGoldollaz · 2026-05-09 · v3.4.57
Truly innovative for iOS
Star traders is so much fun, you can really get lost in the world and unless you’re killed, you just keep going, getting stronger, growing your own operation whether that’s being the strongest military ship in your faction or going around spying on everyone for who you decide deserves it. Awesome game, never seen this formula on iOS.

I want to Love this game, but it’s to FINICKY!!!!
It’s crazy how RNG this game is, so it makes early game gameplay a slug and coin flip. Then when you try to really invest in something, the game locks you out of the main story because you spent three months stuck in hyper warp. Wasting the whole hellish run. I hate this game for the time it’s wasted. It’s got way too much in it to be so finicky, the UI cramped, easy to misclick, save scumming basically needed. No way to make a good crew not completely out of dog water. I understand the guys have updated it for years, but it’s just to frustrating and iffy of a game to say it’s okay to INVEST time into. ABSOLUTELY NOT. It will screw too over each time on RNG, horrid UI, and extremely time limited story missions.

This game is incredible.
I’m enjoying this game more than any space RPG that I’ve played in over a decade.
★★★★★positivelostproductivity · 2026-02-15 · v3.4.47
just a blast
I bought this game and set it aside for some time, clumsily wandered outside my first settlement for a couple of seconds and ran into a pirate ship. They had slightly stronger shields and armor so I closed in and boarded. My melee character got wounded pretty badly and morale went down the toilet for her, but we trashed the officers’ cabin, panicked the crew, then went back outside and riddled the ship with more fire. Finally the hull ruptured and my melee character got promoted to combat medic. This is old school gaming with a huge injection of modern depth. Love it.

Ships
So uh… not to be a wet towel or anything ?but uh , we need ships . Like bigger ones to spend our long term millions on.
★★★★★neutralThalinor · 2025-11-13 · v3.4.43
Told you I owned these on multiple platforms.
This developer likes to abandon their games on other platforms, leaving people who paid for them without the product they bought functioning. I don’t expect it to work for a lifetime, but they truly love abandoning games.

Top Notch
This game has knocked my socks off. The quality is excellent. I like the narrative/free-roam balance. Interesting lore and characters. No ads, just straightforward one-time purchase of the game and you’re golden.
I’ve sank maybe a little over 30 hours into it and I’ve barely brushed the surface. It feels robust, and that’s something I don’t normally experience with mobile games. This game set out with a goal and absolutely crushed it!
If you enjoy RPGs, this game is worth a play.

Obtuse, requires wiki
Don’t be deceived by the high aggregated score.
This company either pays for reviews or has a core “early-access” crowd boosting the score.
With no tutorial and dense mechanics, this game is almost unplayable without consulting a wiki.
This is apparent from character creation onward, followed by a few comically unexplained prompts leading to the main quest.
In addition, many UI elements are tiny and unexplained.
If you enjoy mystery novels, perhaps you will find delight in the pain.

Don't waste your money
This is a seemingly intentionally unenjoyable RNG-PG combining all of the worst aspects of 2D, turn based team fighting RPGs and overly verbose sci-fi roguelikes. The only enjoyment you can really extract, once you've spent the necessary hours making sense of this mess of a game, is from high difficulty runs where your goal is to get terrible RNG (doesn't take long in this game). I'd rate this vaporware zero stars if I could.

Skyrim in Space
June 26th 2025 (Update Review)
They just dropped another update 3 months ago. Look at the update list. Tap on updates… look at *everything they’ve added” mind you for free.
Which I would had paid, this is a two man studio. Support these men. If you haven’t played this game… check it out YouTube. Look at the reviews, it deserves more. Also, this is a game you can play for hours on end or even in bite size runs.
Deep story
Amazing role playing capabilities - you create any tv show, movie, book or game that you play whether Sci-Fi, Fantasy or Non Fiction.
The replay value is bonkers..
—————————————-
Trese bros is insane! Still updating this masterpiece even while working on their new title Cyber Knights, which is currently in early access on Steam. (I’m buying that too for iOS)
Trese bros, you guys are amazing!
I had a review on here from 3 years ago, where pretty much called it Skyrim in space, I came here to update it, but somehow it’s gone.
is Apple removing older reviews?
Anyways, If you’re a gamer and you’re reading this… BUY THIS game, it’s pretty much Skyrim in Space but from a darkest dungeon 2D battle perspective.
A very deep, elegant and sophisticated story. If you love to role play like them pc stellaris players… then this will be your addiction.
This game, because of it’s open world web filled with politics, agendas, factions, trading, smuggling, bounty hunting, spying, xeno alien hunting… and so much more, trese bros, perfectly designed all these elaborate interplay of game systems that work silently in the background, which is part of the magic that immerses you into this organic, lived in universe..
It will have you naming your crew from characters of whatever shows, movies, books, comics that you are a fan of: Star Wars, Star Trek, Dune, Foundation, Justice League, X-men, Avengers, Ripley and her crew from Alien, your favorite sports team, your favorite manga or anime (infinite playground for your imagination here)
Buy this game, you will not be disappointed. Also plenty of youtube guides are available.

Really fun and good game
It’s pretty addicting when you really get into it the only thing I wish they had were missions that delve into cosmic horror or even space zombies and I wish I could customize ship colors/looks
★★★★★positiveNotyerbizness · 2025-04-16 · v3.4.29
Great Game!
The best mobile game I’ve played. I purchased this years ago for cheap and it’s still fun. There have been hundreds of free updates that continue to add to the game. There’s an old school brutality in losing crew members, which reminds me of the original X-Com. With so many professions to choose from, you can play a different style every game. My praise to the developers and their devotion to this game.
★★★★★negativeJ3Carlisle · 2025-04-15 · v3.4.29
Don’t waste your time, find another game
I am down with text based RPGs, but this was sold to me as a strategy rpg. When you get past the overly long conversations, you have a lacking travel system, and a terrible ui. Trying to plan a jumps for more than one mission is clunky back and forth.
When you do get to combat, ship combat is fine, but in no way good, but crew combat is absolutely trash. I either dominate the other team, or you get wrecked. I had a combat that one crew member got one turn, and then couldn’t act for the next four turns while they were murdered. In that same combat, I had the ship doctor, but they couldn’t do anything to heal. What is the point of a doctor that can’t do their only job?

Another Trese Brothers Banger
Long time fan, thank you so much for this amazing game. Battleforce is way better than anything GW has put out for mobile right now.
★★★★★positivePoiethis · 2025-02-20 · v3.4.21
Best RPG Non-WiFi Ad-Free Game. Period.
This game is amazing, addicting, and truly one of a kind. It has the feel of an old school RPG where the graphics are immaterial and 2nd to the gameplay and storyline. I love the endless varieties of gameplay, stories, and paths you can take. Highly recommended, and the best part is you don’t need a network to play! Completely self-sufficient and no intrusive ads or shameless plugs.
Thank you Trese Brothers ❤️
★★★★★neutralMilkCookies984 · 2025-01-15 · v3.4.21
Pretty good
I like this kinda game. It reminds me of many of the kinds of games I played way back when. There is lots of customization and play but the worst part of this game is all of the random ship encounters. You want to do the missions but trying to get anywhere on the map and you get random ship encounters. Combat is fine but it gets old when it leads to nothing.

Amazing / Bug Report
Deserves 6 stars! The crew sorting feature is currently bugged on iPad. Sorting by either health or moral both fail.

As of today update #358 was released. The Apple version is still on #356.
Get it together Apple. You’re two updates behind on one of the finest games on your store.

Dope
It’s pretty good for what it is, could maybe do with more customization in terms of faces/hair. But other than that it’s a pretty in depth game with great lore
Update:Recently got back into again, pulled me in, truly a great game, worth the buy!
