Sid Meier's Starships Reviews

Good game

This is perhaps the best space strategy game for the iPad 2 but 2K should continue their support and fix these bugs. The game seems to crash every so often, actually a lot lately.

Buggy, no challenge, no variety

CardinalZealot

Looking at the version history it appears thus game is stuck where it's at. Focus bugs require you to "alt tab" out of the game and back in to respond to input. The game itself is very easy to win, lacks any strategy and has no variety.

Game saving is broken

Don't even bother to trying to save a game When you return to load it, the game will sent you back earlier in time

Why Sid, why?

I've played civilization since before the time computers were involved. Huge fan of most of them. Deep, interesting and fun. Loved "Pirates!" As well. This game is not replay able. I played 4 times all the way through. Now I "get" it and it doesn't need to be played again. There are few choices in customizing your ships and most of them just don't make tactical sense. Maybe the designers had a plan for real depth and it will come out in some big future update? I doubt it. Take off Sid's name and this is a $2 app like the hundreds released each year: forgettable. I paid $10, I genuinely hope the extra $8 went to Sid, he is a brilliant game designer, but this game is not....

EPICLY FUN

I love this game soooo much because it was never made for the computer but rocks on the touch platform. It is incredibly fun for strategy and taking over galaxies or just sitting there like a peaceful superpowered Soviet Union. Fun tip: It became soooo fun that when I fully upgraded everything(building wise not tech). I was buying stuff to get the tech done then the UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED! I crashed the game because I became sooooo powerful and sooo OP as hell that I crashed it because I was near 100% done. Thankfully it was saved but still super fun. Tip: The crash was caused by me on purpose and not the game. LOL ROFL ?????????

Welcome to the past

I played some of Sid's earliest games and enjoyed them. When was that? 1991? This game hasn't evolved much beyond those early games in terms of game play, design, or complexity. OK value at $2.00 but a rip off at $9.99.

I guess it's a step away from the norm with this.. that part shows

Stratified suffice

Space torpedoes don't need to look like atmosphere use...

Crash galore

And the game isn't that great either

Terrible.

The only reason this game gets more than 1 star is that it could have potential if it were polished up. As it is, the gameplay is broken. From blatent AI cheating to most of the depth of the game being ignorable. But the biggest kicker: you can win on the highest diffuculty during the first turn of the game, before the AI has a chance to even act. This game was terribly rushed and it shows. It's good for 2 play throughs, one to learn how to play and a second to realize it's not worth playing.

Bioshock

Why buy from 2k when they don't fix or refund for iPad Bioshock. Never again. It is a fraud!!!!
