Rogue Star App Reviews

Wow this game is well made. I love it. Im surprised this game isnt well known. Buy it. Its definitely worth the price.

Cant get past the tutorial page even if I try to skip the tutorial.

Graphics are nice, but a few issues. First, it really needs a storyline to make it interesting. Second, my game is now crashing EVERY time I try to load my current game. Battles seem random for difficulty where you just get blown out of the sky on some fights and lose your money invested in cargo. Played for a few hours, couldnt save up enough money for the first ship upgrade. Im quickly losing interest in this game and wishing I didnt spend money on it.

Since there is no way to get away from pirates if you encounter them, chances are they will blow you away if they have any ship other than the Snub. As you can imagine, this makes for some pretty frustrating times trying to get enough cash for the next level ship. I havent been able to do it after a couple hours, its becoming not fun.

Like others have mentioned, it is very difficult at times and very easy at others. At its best, it is a really entertaining game, but that is when you get away from the sometimes very frustrating combat. When they start to throw three ships at a time at you, things get to a point where it is impossible to not die. That is really frustrating when you are trying to complete a mission. And you lose the package you have to deliver because you were faced with an impossible circumstance. I would say Im pretty good at the game but when the ships are smart and come at all different angles and are firing at you it is literally impossible to win. Maybe you should be able to buy a friend or someone to fly with you and help fight with you. That would be cool. But the game is unbelievable when you arent suffering from the difficulty.

Super fun and cool

At first I found it easy to play, then I was having issues staying alive. Once I figured out how to adjust my shield, lasers, and engines better I was doing better. Love the look of the graphics and feel of the controls. Difficulty is, in my opinion, spot on. It is challenging and that makes it fun. I cant wait to see how this game grows. Great work guys!!!!!

The game has a nice visual style and mechanics but I found it quite hard to play. Almost every encounter with two pirate ships ends with my death and I have no chance to earn money for a new ship. I think itll be good to reconsider game balance a little bit. Thanks

Everything you could have only dreamed of: spaceships, ugly aliens, hardcore gameplay and nice visuals

Works just fine to me. Notice how I did not pay for splash screen!

I love just about everything about this game. The concept, visuals, and combat make it an excellent Elite alternative for when Im away from my PC. That said, this game has major difficulty issues. Its unclear if the difficulty scales with the cargo youre carrying, but every time I fill my hold Im met with absurd odds. The alternative is running piddle little transport missions that can get quite grindy. With some tweaking of this flaw the game could be nearly perfect for the platform.

This game shows a LOT of promise... Might end up as a great game, but is basically unplayable right now due to difficulty.

Space combat is supposed to be difficult! Otherwise everyone would be good at it.

Ive been waiting for Drifter to come out for a while and then I saw this game its the same concept space, fighting, and trading drifter says theyll have more stuff but for now this game is awesome is very hard and enraging but once you save up for a new ship it gets pretty easy I grinding now for 28,000 credits I make on average 300 credits a run please make money just a little easier to get

This game is stupid I start it up and it crashes and I cant play it I wasted my hard ernd money

What a great game concept breathing life into an Elite clone for the iPad. The graphics are great, controls arent too bad, a few missions and auctions to work into trades. The problem is no matter what you do, how many missions or trips in space to earn money, you always seem to get blasted out of space, losing everything and start you back off again with 60 credits. I was hoping that notoriety helped give you an edge, but is only a title unless you turn to being an outlaw. Wish game was more on par with Elite and have systems that had minimal contact and pirate and alien systems as you carefully upgrade. This one is way too hard.

Best space gam out their.

Coming from GOF2 playing regularly still, this game is great in its very own rite, and well worth the price, time and effort. Havent played Elite much, despite hearing the rave reviews about it, but after doing the research, I can see how this game can compare and follows in its spirit, while carving out its very own niche. All in all, nice story, polished graphics, a sense of humor, and challenging combat at times, which was welcomed. Though not as insanely difficult as many here describe it to be. Cmon people, utilize your energy system flows during battle! They are there for a reason. Up the shields when you have to, speed up engines to get behind, and power up laser to blast those pirates to space dust- per say. Also, utilize sliding that speed bar on the right side of the screen during combat to keep yourself in the advantageous position. And a well-timed barrel roll here and there is always encouraged. If you can follow those steps, youll find yourself to be a better pilot and one step closer to enjoying this very well-done game. Happy hunting. UPDATE: Flight time: 2hrs 14 mins. (ship market prices can fluctuate but cannot confirm on what factor..rank maybe?) Rank: Competent /Guardian. Kills: 114. Ship losses: 2. Keep an eye on your shields, and just play efficiently, in and out of battle. Ive also noticed people griping about making money. Always grab those cargo containers when you can and sell in the system with highest payoff. In combat, the old adage that the best defense is a good offense, applies here as well. Again, very great game!

The games got its very own spacey good looks and some cracking wit; silky smooth game play—so essential for a good dogfighting game. And yes, its quite challenging! You will be blasted to smithereens *many* times before you get a decent feel for how to balance your ships shields-speed-firepower ratio against your enemies. So rewarding when you finally get it! And even then, you will still get blasted half the time! So it becomes about how much youre risking on your mission—that and the intense combat makes it all so wonderfully tense!

This is a good space shooter game for my IPad 2, but way to hard. Get killed all the time. Can you make it a little easier for us older folks?
