I never played the PC version, but the mobile version is such an enjoyable experience. Sound and visuals are pleasant. Mechanics are tight. There’s an air of “I have no idea what I’m doing”, but it’s not a negative. It feels like you’re gifted a world to explore and trade in, figuring out your own way.Cozy. That’s the best way to explain it.
Worth it

Scratched my mount and blade economy itch. I have not experienced any bugs that others have mentioned.
Needs More Polish

Very fun game, definitely something to spend a day on, but very short and a little unfocused.Devs seem to be actively working on it. I would definitely say some features seem a little undercooked.This game would benefit from a greater focus on the economy and trade systems, and scrapping some of the leveling systems. The knowledge system seemed kind of pointless. Lots of ship types with little difference except storage capacity. Didn’t see a point in buying the mid level ships since money is fairly simple to come by.Really glad there are no microtransactions.Tons of potential, just needs more depth.
Unpolished, needs serious work

There is basically no tutorial, and the UI is awful even in the beginning trying to figure out what to do. 60 minutes in and finally in a groove, pause to eat dinner, only to reopen the app and be back at the tutorial. All progress lost, apparently there’s no autosave. Do not recommend.
Developer Response
I’m so sorry you lost your progress. To clarify, the game does have an autosave that triggers every 5 minutes, but it sounds like it failed to catch your session or the tutorial completion didn't flag correctly. I am investigating why this happened and will be pushing an update to make saving more frequent and reliable. I’d love to get you back into the 'groove' thank you for the honest feedback.
