I dunno. We used to play this with my dad, him flying, me & my brother firing the cannons. But I can't seem to get the gist of the ported UI. It resets and loads all of a sudden, and I've made no progress so far, always having to start over. It seems I spawn on random planets randomly etc. The flyings cool though, too bad the app's discontinued. Maybe I'll get the original version running again.
As someone who played the original Elite on the BBC B, I find this very close to the original with most changes being cosmetic or to implement touch/accelerometer control. I found the accelerometer control awkward (kept recalibrating during the tutorial) but the button option works fine for me. One new product seems to have been added, as well as the tutorial. Don't know if there are any missions but I never got to those in the original either. Docking and combat seem a bit easier than in Elite.
I'll be honest here, there are three reasons why my rating is like this 1. Too many bugs like the game crashes in the 2nd galaxy every time an enemy appears. 2. A lot of missing game data especially on ships info. 3. No storyline even side mission, just sandbox. That's all I can say so far. Fun fact though, most of the ships are named after snakes 🧐🧐🧐 I wonder why. Anyway I hope you can fix this.
Would love to play it more but the screen isn't central. The laser hit where the center of my screen is but the crosshair is off to the left. Makes controlling and aiming extremely difficult. I have a one plus 6t. Any help would be great as I would love to rate it more.
Cool port of the original Elite. Wish it was possible to use it with a controller though instead of just accellerometer or on screen controls. Hasn't been updated in six years though, so I'm not holding my breath.
It's an amazing game I would play far more often. However we desperately need to be able to fast-forward while in the safe zone. Spending several minutes after dropping out of supercruise just slowly chugging toward the station is a test of patience and is exceedingly annoying
Great game, however very buggy. For some reason you can't close the game down (at all), and when you pause the game and then restart, it loses some sound effects and sends endless waves of enemies at you!
I find this to be a great version of the original Elite and I applaud the author. My only request would be to add bluetooth controller support as the onscreen controls are fiddly for people like me with fat thumbs! With that said, however, I love the game and will carry on playing. o7 commander.
I find the roll control too sensitive. Just a slight jitter of my hand and the ship goes into a spin. Impossible to target anything! Wish there was some way of tweaking that, but I couldn't find anything in the Options.
This is a good quality remake of the original Elite. The graphics have undergone major improvements and the controls work well. I do wish they would add support for bluetooth controllers, though.
you don't have any way to change the control from keyboard to touch screen control. your game would probably be worth playing if I didn't have to rotate my phone in a thousand different directions at the same time just to level up enough to kill one enime I can't even dock at any stations without killing myself . good luck with your game.
Best game in play store. Only thing it lacks is new ships to buy. For those who dont like the traid system read the in game help it tells you how to traid, its mostly common sense. Buy food from agricultural planet, sell to others. Not rocket science. Docking is hard but so was the original. Just approach slow verry slow. Make sure you are lind up perfectly and come in slowly so you can august as needed. With practice you can dock every time without fail. Just read the instructions, please don't bash this game over your failure to read the instructions.... Great job to the creator..... Love ya..... Please consider adding new ships to buy and use...
better than the amiga version. seriously, it's a great version of this abdolute classic. accelerometer navigation controls, awesome! people should appreciate how much effort goes into free, ad-free games, much love
I have loved this game since the 80s. Played it over the years on ZX Spectrum, MSX and even a Linux version called "oolite". Thanks for porting it to Android. Playing with the accelerometer is a bliss.
Amazing game remembering all the good old days spent on classical Elite, but mobile! Now I can travel back in time (and space) in just seconds. If you played Elite, this is amazing! If you didn't, well, start now! =D
Great game, just wish I could fly with a controller! If you could add just flying control support for gamepads, it would be perfect.
If you could yaw it would be great but otherwise these flight controls aren't for me. Maybe stick to elite on the console but still cool to have a mobile experience
Easily best game I've played on a mobile. To think when this game came out in the 80's it was so good fans were buying BBC computers just to play it Now here it is better than the original absolutely free and no in game ads. TOP MAX RESPECT to all responsible.
Nice retro port of a classic game. Makes it seem more playable on the move with the gyroscopic controls. Well done on a nice port!
Downloaded the 1.9 version apk file... It goes to a website but d/l's without knowing the site. As others have said, I too have used Elite about 4 decades ago. Cant tell you how many appts or dates I've missed playing for hours!!! Made me laugh seeing how many were as addicted as I am! Hahaha Still my FAVORITE regardless... :-)
starting the game brought me memories of playing elite dangerous as i am unable to because im on vacation. upon exiting the station i figured i forget things so i tried returning and got blown up lmaoooo feels like i started elite once again. would recommend to other ed players
very good done... the graphic, the controls, but the opportunity to buy other ships is unfortunately missing.
Great reproduction, especially for a free game. I like the mixing of world politics with my legal status. I love the gyroscopic controls of the game even though they don't work well in airplanes!!😁
very faithful to the original, as others have said, but would keyboard support be possible? Would make it so much better, but I can manage without it, for such a loved classic! :)
Great game. But it's strange that sometimes the game doesn't react when I touch the screen... And very embarassing during fights.
As a child I loved this game and even now its still fun, but game keeps crashing, fix this, and give us more up to date things to do and it once again will be a amazing game.
The gameplay is basically to the original Elite game, and the combat is greatly improved with the control system. The graphics are obviously greatly updated, though not good as Oolite. Unfortunately, it's accuracy does show off the limitations of the original game. But being free, and ad free, I cannot recommend this game enough. Essential if you are a fan of the original, although I do wish additions have been made, like with Oolite. That is the only reason I have given it only four stars.
