Really

I was gonna give it a chance but the graphics are from the 90s....even the text is pixelated.

I’m stuck in a loop. How do I get out? I guess I’m done. The loop won’t release me to play. Fun while it lasted, but Sid’s games will no longer be in my wheelhouse of choices.


Badly needs update

Game crashes a lot . Used to be able to transfer unusable funds in ship building to science. Now crashes every time. Seems like no fix or updates coming.


Too simple
BWGunner

I love strategy and space and Sid, but this game is lame. Remember Masters of Orion? This game is not nearly that good. Civilizations? Its epic complexity makes this feel like rock paper scissors. It should be a lot more. At least it is down to $3. That’s not too horrid, but I’d be surprised if there was 10 hours of gameplay here. Like 300 hours of meh voice acting tho... weirdly.


Disappointing and grossly overpriced
Cujam

Could be fun if it had the components we expect from Sid's games but is less than half of what I expected. An entire game can be played in an hour making it incredibly short. Planet development is boring and combat is strangely designed. All this with an exorbitant price tag makes it the worst app purchase I've ever made.


Cannot set victory criteria

I have played the games several time on customized victory criteria (domination) but it fails to work. The game always ends on achieving any of the game criteria. It was as if the victory criteria is always set to "All" regardless of what you choose.


New update killed my domination mode!
AUTOBOT ORCA

It's a straight forward easy to play starship strategy game. Lots of potential. If you like civ rev and spaceships you will like this game. However my last 3 games of domination mode have resulted in AI wins for most wonders thanks to the new update I can no longer conquer the Galaxy:(


its ok
Gangsta_Titan

they could made this game better it gets boring quick! i kinda regret buying this


To little a game, to big a price tag
Mindsynk

I really do like the game play of this, but for $15 it is way to over priced. This game is way to basic for that price, maybe $5 max. At least add a campaign for what we paid. No one should have to spend $15 to play the same arcade over and over. And you can play from easy through epic in like an hour. Simply not enough game.
