I already just started and it clearly was made for an IOS or Android and not for a person that uses the average PC.

The options are simple, no real configuration settings and manual combat is not really good with a mouse, let alone a trackball mouse or a keyboard, so you're kind of stuck with the very boring auto-combat system just so you don't do anything stupid.

If you ever considered buying this, just buy it on your mobile device. playing this on the PC is just...No.

Just. No.

Edited for additional info: before you say that maybe it was intended with playing a controller, all a controller can apparently do is turn the ship and use the afterburner. Maybe jump as well. It doesn't work when you're inside a station where it requires something to press its buttions. You NEED a mouse or a touchscreen monitor to play effectively or at all.

The map in the game is very...simplistic. That's the kindest description I can give it. Last I saw, it was as if it was drawn with bright red and green crayons.

If you ask why you need the mouse for manual combat, well there's the fact that there's a button for the unguided lasers that you must click once for it to auto-fire. That's right, auto-fire. Which drains your energy bar that also supplies power to your shields and auto-repair systems if you get damaged, which by the way, can have thresholds on how much you can heal and such. If not for the tutorial repair, I would have been dead already in my first fight.

You also need the mouse to turn efficently at the same time as doing it by keyboard is kind of slow and unresponsive and it feels awkward holding a controller with one hand and a mouse in the other to do it. Think about that. No way to effectively dodge in combat normally, if there was any ability to dodge at all let alone aim the manual auto-fire unguided laser, so you must use the auto-combat system to get things done.

Auto combat? It's where you first target an enemy ship, click on a button twice that makes it automatically use whatever turrents and missles you have so you watch and do nothing as either you or the enemy ship dies. You may have to then manually change the enemy and turn it back on again.

Either the developers are pulling a bad prank with shoving the IOS/Android in here as I deleted the game and re-download the game to check and the size was 556MB (Not something that required 2GB of harddrive space that was listed) or this is the real thing.

Seriously, This is not a good choice to buy, let alone try to play at the moment. Until they fix such things, I can't seriously recommend playing this if you enjoy the space genre. I'll hopefully check back in a month or two, but by then I'll probably play some other game worth my time and effort in.

Call me stupid, but I thought I was buying Elite: Dangerous. Didn't do a lot of research. Just figured it was the same title. This is not that, and seems marketed deliberately to fool you. Part of what threw me was that both games have the exact same release date...probably intential also. Anyway, this is a janky terrilble looking piece of junk with an icoherent interface and laughable writing. I wouldn't be so harsh had I not just wasted twenty bucks on it. Still played for a few hours. Not remotely worth the money.

As mentioned in the other reviews this game seems to blatantly attempt to be mistaken for Elite: Dangerous. This game is hardly playable and definitely not Elite: Dangerous. Definitely a hack and scam.

I do not believe that the developer purposely wanted to mislead people i do believe that is a coincidence. That however does not change the fact that it is clunky to say the least. It seems more appropriate to play this on a smart phone of sorts, the menu and dialouge pop ups were rather large and obtrusive yet they were still proffesionally presented for lack of a better word. To pc users this is my opinion and based on my personal tastes, granted the story might have been really interesting but i sadly just could not handle how clunky the controls and whole movement sytem worked. It wasn't smooth and the camera was placed at a strange angle and controlled oddly when moving.

P.S
Was that good enough Shinobi?
