Fighting Fantasy: Starship Traveller Reviews

Great!!!

Great feel like I'm Kirk in Star Trek !

Graphics and presentation are top notch as with all Tin Man games. Music is good but gets much too annoying after a while. I wish you would add more atmospheric mood sounds to intertwine with the music. Maybe vary the music more or make the clip more atmospheric so its pleasant in the background. As to the theme, I love the Traveller RPG games and so was excited to see this. It's very interesting but I really don't care for the tedious battle system. I like the idea of rolling virtual dice but there's not much to the battles other than lots of tedious rolling. You can adjust your crews line up as to who attacks what enemy but basically I just ended up mass pressing the skip button to get the fight over with. I'm only in the first part of the game. It's well written but hasn't pulled me in yet. But don't let that keep anyone who's a fan of Gamebook Adventures from getting this. It's pretty awesome and these are minor criticisms.

Overpriced Retro game/book

Should be priced at about a dollar. Looks like an easy job to make a game from a decision book that also has dice rolls. Great idea 30 years ago, but doesn't hold up well for me. I mistakenly thought this was based on the traveller game from decades ago...it is not. However, I do look for award to other games from Steve Jackson. I recall him doing car wars/autoduel.

Fantastic

Great Art! Great game! Great story! Well done!

Boring!

User Interface wastes too much time. Developers screenshots are misleading as I see ONLY Portrait orientation...no landscape. It's history.

Warning: Landscape Display Orientation is Broken.

Here's what the developers' app description promises: "Read the book horizontally or vertically on your tablet." Unfortunately, the horizontal display mode for this game doesn't work (yes, I checked to make sure my iPad screen lock was disabled), so until it's fixed, don't buy this unless you are okay with playing it in portrait only -- a deal buster for this disappointed customer.
