Would have been 5 star but the app has buttons situated on the frost facting camera of my Samsung Galaxy s10. A way to adjust screen sizes would have been appreciated especially since so a lot of important buttons are found at the top potion of the screen. It's pretty counter intuitive for cellphones...
Like the boardgame? You'll love this! Never played the boardgame? This will be great! Hate the board game? ...eh okay maybe this isn't for you. This game has a campaign mode about winning as much as I can instead of the boardgame which is about losing as little as I can.
The game is cool, but it's too full screen. The boards are cut on phones that have the camera dip and rounded corners. There are texts I can read.
Very fun and engaging game. If you've played the board game you will love it. If you haven't, it is still really fun and has good explanations and a tutorial. As a dev to devs: There is a bug with catapults and not being able to use them to increase your firepower (canon strength) rating when in a Combat Zone, even though it shows you have the potential to. Also, sometimes it won't let me do online multiplayer because it says I am offline, and it is difficult to get around. Sometimes it is hard to get the little screen-exit x's to function;in one case it doesn't work right.
As a fussy mobile gamer, I must say that this is a truly fantastic mobile version of a classic board game. The design & implementation is superb. On top of that, the single player campaign is interesting and very humorous, and the pass-and-play mode works well for a family on the road who cannot take the original game with them. The addition of the turn-based build mode is a nice touch, especially for those who find the real-time mode too stressful. Highly recommended. A worthwhile purchase!
Jeez, just realized that I've had this game (including the expansion) for about 6 years and still haven't rated it. Long overdue. Amazing game. I am super happy that I found it. I can sit here all day praising the gameplay, real-time vs turn-based, the humourous campaign, the challenges, etc. But what I really like is pass-and-play. It makes it easy to play a relaxing game with friends without them buying it. Amazing game. Please fix catapult interaction with hybrid cargo/batteries. Love you
Great game, hundreds of hours spent playing. Campaign is awesome but my favourite mode is custom turned-based against bots with the alien expansion and lots of hard cards. Feature request - last update meant that dialogue confirming you want to finish building is no longer there, so many times I absent mindedly grap that "1" tile at the top instead of end turn, my fault but completely ruins the build and have to start over. There used to be a confirmation dialogue if you still had unused spaces
I own the table top version of this game, and it is a staple of my weekly game night. This is a wonderful adaptation that plays more smoothly than any other cardboard-to-mobile port I have ever played. I have even used the tutorial in the app to teach new players before bringing out the physical game. I recommend this app to anyone who has played table top Galaxy Trucker, or even to those who haven't. It's great, just great.
It's a good adaptation of the board game (with all expansions, i think?). The adventure card animations are a bit slow. The app is great when no one else wants to play. The campaign mode mixes things up a bit - you have to be cautious because your money (or lack thereof) carries through to the next round.
It's great so far: a good rendering of a great board game, fun (if goofy) campaign giving some meaning to the mechanics and investment in the outcome, and none of the nonsense lots of games pull these days. The only large complaint is that it doesn't use your google play login to sync between devices, so I have a different save state on my phone and tablet.
Really love Galaxy trucker on Android. Bug free, and captures the essence and spirit of the board game. In many ways, it's better that the board game.
Generally a very good, faithful recreation of the original. A few annoying bugs, however. Notably that my profile keeps getting reset to red so I have to go back and change it back to green regularly :( Overall though, very much worth the money. Some interesting new mechanics and a great adaptation of the board game. PS. The expansion is great, though difficult :D
Game is really fun and a good port from the physical board game. Campaign is a great addition. One thing which should be fixed though is support to not run in full screen on Android devices. The notch on my phone cuts off some of the top of the screen, so it would be nice to play in non-full screen mode.
Good stuff. Lags sometimes mid construction but maybe its just my phone being slow. So far I've only played campaign but pretty good so far.
Addictive and challenging, even when having completed the game. Once all missions are finished you can work on earning more achievements and on the expansion. If you choose to restart you can make it through the early stages quickly. The goals are the same but missions are different each time.
Really nice game, but top bit of UI is obscured by phone notch (awful bit of phone design :( ) would be nice to have a way to make the UI a bit less tall
Great Game, needs a slight update for newer phones with a camera notch at the top - it makes it impossible to read everything in the turtorial. Otherwise great.
Just as excellent as the board game, but with added gameplay content! I haven't tried the multiplayer yet, but just the singleplayer campaign alone is easily worth the 5$ for this app.
Overall a fun and fairly light experience. Nice change of pace with an original and enjoyable game mechanic set up. I don't know if I would buy it for $4.99 though. I got it just because it was on sale for $1.99 and I had Google Rewards survey credits.
Stellar game. My favourite boardgame turned into a fantastic mobile game. The aesthetic has transferred wonderfully. Music matches brilliantly. It's not just a lazy port, the devs put real time and love into making this a fully fleshed out game in its own right. Complete with a great single player campaign and online which can be done in live real time or pass and play. 5/5.
I've never played the board game but have space alert by the same creator. This is on a similar theme but to me is more fun and translates really well to a phone game. The campaign is pretty long and fun with some decent funny dialog. It is quite challenging but the difficulty curve isn't too bad and you don't get fully stuck. Have probably spent 20+ hours playing so well worth a few quid
Good game but slow animations. The animations are interesting. Once. From there though a game takes literally twice as long to complete just because of the animations. I would give it a five star rating if the animations could be skipped.
The campaign is awesome. The difficulty of the AI progresses throughout the campaign, and the AI ships are a fun and challenging opponents. More importantly the GUI is well designed and easy to use on a small-screen'd phone.
I love the board game. This is a cool version to kill time at work or when at home and don't want to pull all the pieces out. Haven't noticed any glitches and they do a good job with explaining the rules and being able to have access to them mid game. Very cute graphics and sound effects.
I like it a lot. Worthy of being a vlaada title. One thing though is that the game doesn't pause for my phone notifications so I find myself severely hampered in ship building when I take a text. I mean. I could always turn off notifications but I do need my phone
Edited my review since game's working well now (no more annoying sfx bug). Super fun and challenging app! Love CGE's adaptation of this boardgame. "One more game" type of game. Only wish there was a way to setup animation's speed during the flight instead of holding down the ">>" button in the lower right corner to speed everything up. Recommended!
