Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy Reviews

Very difficult to play on Ipad. Setting change erratically.

Title says it all ships bo the wrong way. Very very very messy. I’m deleting it.

4X in Space

MintDragon

a robust 4x tactical space battler with pausable real-time play for 3D battles. different game modes and difficulty levels; weapon and tech choices. Plus, this game has been out on Steam for 6 months or so, so there are quite a few “Let’s Play” videos on youtube to show me the ropes, including a playlist put together by the developer. For a “mid-level” 4X player like myself, I envision a longer learning curve aided by the Let’s Play videos and Slitherine forums. And having fun the entire time.

Fantastic Game

Mzinn

After 30-45 mins in I'm happier than I thought I'd be. I can't wait to see where this games takes me. Seems very well done as is typical for Slitherine. Great tutorial & a nice little "?" Icon that reminds you what everything does. I also love that you can reset the instructions, fast forward through dialog, pick a difficulty level, start a new campaign, & there is a nice data archive & a fantastic 44 page game manual. Seriously Slitherine simply rocks & does games the right way. No wonder so many of their games have a pernament spot on my iPad. Another great job Slitherine!

Excellent space strategy

EventHorizon0

Very in depth space strategy. Lots of options on how to tackle battles and the ships feel great. Fighters are quick and flagships are huge lumbering battleships. Wish we had some options on what guns to put on what ships. Excellent game and a must own for any serious turn based strategy player.

Lame

Hodagxl99

This game crashes during the first mission every single time. I've re-installed to no avail. Lame

Not a bad game, just not complete

Gopack11

Not a bad game but the manual for it is terrible. Many things in the game are not explained and you can't find answers to it anywhere. For example you're supposed to get reinforcement points after every mission. My points however never go up, they only drop. This means I can never purchase new ships. In addition the war scale feature of the game doesn't work right. For example I can play a mission that's designed for the defensive side, use the defensive abilities for all my crew and I still end up with aggressive points at the end. No where is this explained. It's a shame, this is a really cool game but the devs obviously never finished it. They ported an incomplete game from the PC to the iPad. If anything changes I will change my review

Too cluttered with "dialogue"

Artinobil

I was hoping for this to be a strategy game that is not casual and can challenge a bit. It was extremely promising but unfortunately it is ruined by long, boring dialogue and "story" no one cares about. The dialogue ruins the game, it is nonstop you can't even have a nice battle without interruptions about a nonsense plot. Wasted $15.

A real looser

RVR57

The game has a lot of senseless dialogue and the battles are painfully boring. I needed to restart the game and my iPad multiple times because it became unresponsive. The game seems shallow, unfinished, the graphics leave much to be desired. A real looser from Slitherine... besides all that it's HIGHLY over priced! I will definitely pass on Slitherine games in the future.

What is going on here?

SmiteMatter

Did Slitherine throw their hands up and phone this in? This game doesn't make any sense. Everything is always out of range even when directly in front of your ship. Weapons are badly underpowered and slow. This isn't fun, exciting or challenging. It's just clunky, messy and frustrating. But it looks nice.

Strategic Space Ship Combat

Herbert Derps

Pros: Space ships blowing stuff up Strategic game play Decent Graphics Campaign is interesting Way better than Sid Meier's Starships (I know you were wondering) Combat isn't just on one plane (like Sid Meier's Starships) Cons: A bit confusing at first, small learning curve $15 seems a bit high for a mobile game (Maybe $10) Manipulating ships is finicky sometimes (not a deal breaker though) No Spaceship customization (?) No Multiplayer (?)
